VIRGINIA RUMORS & GOSSIP
Virginia basketball season in review, 2
Continuing the series begun last week.
#12 - Joe Harris - Sr. SF
This season: As predicted, Harris's raw numbers went down this year. He scored less and rebounded less, and played fewer minutes too. And as predicted, this was a good sign; it meant more reliance on a larger number of teammates. Spread things out and it can only be a good thing.
Harris's shooting percentages...

Harris still the engine that drives Virginia's run to Sweet 16
RALEIGH, N.C. -- If you don't know about top-seeded Virginia, which advanced to the Sweet 16 with a resounding 78-60 win over No. 8 Memphis that wasn't really that close, you should.
And you will soon enough, as the Cavaliers travel to Madison Square Garden next week for the East regionals, facing a team that many experts have pegged to win it all -- Michigan State.

Virginia's defense in for a test vs. tempo-pushing Memphis
RALEIGH, N.C. -- For the first few years of Virginia head coach Tony Bennett's tenure in Charlottesville, his style of play was constantly under siege because of its relative lack of aesthetic value, particularly on the offensive end.
Until this year.
The No. 1 seed Cavaliers are an offensive machine in ways that the critics of their slow play couldn't begin to understand...

Three Hits: Virginia survives scare from Coastal Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Every year, at least one top seed has that moment where it seems like they will be the first to fall to a 16-seed. They make a run, get the crowd or viewers excited, and it's not quite enough.
Virginia had watched higher seeds get upset for nearly two full days before the Cavaliers got their chance to play, and then they were nearly a victim themselves.
But...

ESPN’s Pablo Torre Picks 16-Seed Coastal Carolina To Upset 1-Seed Virginia
ESPN columnist and television personality Pablo Torre isn’t going to be making any friends in Charlottesville, Virginia any time soon. Today, on Around The Horn, Torre predicted that 16-seed Coastal Carolina will be the first team to ever knock off a 1-seed in its first game in the NCAA Tournament.

Here’s Dick Vitale With Some Analysis About Virginia Coach Tony Bennett And A Stripper

Imagine my excitement to hear that ESPN’s legendary NCAA basketball analyst and maniacal shouting bald man Dick Vitale was dishing out stripper stories about Tony Bennett.

Virginia frustrates Duke to win first ACC tourney title since 1976
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- As confetti rained down on victorious Virginia, the Charlottesville contingent in attendance -- which was surprisingly sizable -- didn't seem to want to leave.

The crowd had done its job, by...
