The Cavaliers' state-flavored introduction to the 2008-09 men's basketball season certainly has not been devoid of drama. First, the VMI Keydets brought a run-and-gun spice to the John Paul Jones Arena and then Radford followed with a pinch of post-powered seasoning on Friday night. Fortunately for Virginia, it escaped the most recent contest without the proverbial bad taste it its mouth, defeating the visiting Highlanders 68-66 to improve to 3-0 on the season.
TheSabre.com catches up with top running back recruit Dominique Wallace for a "Q&A" prior to Chancellor's (Fredericksburg, VA) regional final match-up against Powhatan. We'll also update this weekend's official visitors and take a look at some of the top playoff match-ups for Virginia commitments.
Shortly after Virginia's 77-75 win Wednesday night, South Florida coach Stan Heath remarked, unprompted mind you, that UVa' Jamil Tucker was the "biggest surprise" and did more than the Bulls "expected" in the Cavaliers' victory. Tucker posted a line of 15 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. And while Heath was not surprised, it may be time for opponents and fans to take notice of Tucker.
With eight returning starters on the defensive side of the ball for a team that only gave up 18.7 points and 306.8 yards per game, much was expected this fall. And while the Clemson offense has not lived up to its preseason billing, the defense has for the most part. The Tigers have given up 26 points on average in their five loses and only 11 points per game in five wins. The question for Saturday: Can the Hoos score over 20?
Clint Sintim simply doesn't know what will be running through his head when he runs through the tunnel and on to the field at Scott Stadium for the last time Saturday as the Cavaliers take on Clemson. "It's going to be a special day," Sintim said. "I don't know how I'll feel about it."
