When I arrived in Charlottesville in 1982, I already had plenty of experience covering the ACC, but I was about to learn that Virginia’s rivalry with North Carolina was much more intense than I had thought.

After one of his most frustrating weeks off the court during his career, North Carolina coach Roy Williams said the Tar Heels are bracing for “the biggest challenge we’ll have all year long, no question,” at No. 9 Virginia.

There’s an old saying around the conference that the ACC road is filled with land mines. This season is a prime example.

Terry Gates, who played for Virginia from 1978-79 to 1980-81, will be the featured guest on the “Jerry Ratcliffe Show” on Saturday morning.

Kihei Clark haters are eating a big ol’ bowl of crow this morning after the diminutive point guard saved Virginia’s bacon Wednesday night in Atlanta.

Josh Pastner’s Georgia Tech team is on the verge of a challenge that Tony Bennett wanted no part of for his Virginia basketball team.

What Tomas Woldetensae pulled off Saturday night in Virginia’s 73-66 win over Pitt, was somewhat amazing.

Sam Hauser (Stevens Point, Wis.) has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced Monday (Feb. 8).

With 16 minutes to go in the second half Saturday, Virginia and Pitt were deadlocked at 36-all. The visiting Panthers, coming off an upset over a ranked Virginia Tech team just days ago, had visions of overthrowing another of the ACC’s present hierarchy.

Tony Bennett has nothing against trying to make up postponed games from earlier this season, but the ACC is quickly learning it’s not going to push around Virginia’s coach.

Nobody likes being called soft by their coach, so when Tony Bennett said his team was too “finesse-y” in a loss at Virginia Tech last Saturday, it was his way of sending a message.

Virginia doesn’t get to the free throw line often, but when the Cavaliers get there, they make it count.

Virginia will attempt to bounce back from a late-game collapse that led to a lopsided loss to rival Virginia Tech last Saturday night, when the Cavaliers take on NC State tonight (9 o’clock tip, ACC Network) in Raleigh.

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that the Louisville at Virginia men’s basketball game scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6 has been postponed.

Virginia may have to wait to the postseason for any chance of avenging Saturday’s loss to rival Virginia Tech. In fact, there is a chance that none of the ACC’s remaining postponements will ever be played.

Tony Bennett said that he doesn’t think redshirt freshman Kadin Shedrick is ready to play quite yet, but is hopeful to have him back soon.

Don’t know what Mike Young told his team at halftime on Saturday night in Cassell Coliseum, but he should record it and market it to other coaches around the country.
