#1 seed UVa. comes up short in Sweet 16 to Michigan State, 61-59
A late 7-0 UVa. run tied the game with 1:53 left, but Michigan State made the big plays down the stretch, and got the benefit of a controversial no-call, and the fourth-seeded Spartans advanced to the Elite Eight with a 61-59 win over the top-seeded Cavaliers Friday night in Madison Square Garden in New York.

Teven Jones: Bigger than the box score
The line score isn’t what you’d call impressive: nine minutes, one point, one assist, one turnover. But Teven Jones might have been UVa.’s MVP in its 59-56 loss to #14 VCU Tuesday night. Jones entered the game with seven minutes left in the first half, and the Cavs trailing 21-14.
Chris Graham: Previewing UVa.-VCU basketball blockbuster
Tonight’s UVa.-VCU Top 25 matchup is a classic clash of styles. Virginia would love the game to be in the 50s or low 60s; VCU would prefer a game in the 80s. Who controls the pace will determine who wins the game. OK, so we knew that already. Who controls the pace? I like Virginia, and here’s why: defense.

Teven Jones a big part of turnaround for ‘Hoos
It was a small sample size, admittedly, but through three games, two of them ugly losses, and a stretch that saw Virginia average 54 points per contest, it was looking like a lost season in the making for Coach Tony Bennett. Enter Teven Jones, a redshirt freshman from Fishburne Military School, who had to sit out the opener, a 63-59 loss to George Mason, for an undisclosed violation of team rules, then Virginia’s split of its first two games in the Preseason NIT with a pinched nerve that had threatened to put him on the shelf for an extended period of time.

Jones: A ‘great fit’ for UVa.
Ed Huckaby had never seen it before. OK, he’s seen teams run a backdoor pick to free up a guy cutting the basket for an alley-oop pass and a slam dunk. “That was the first time I saw a team run an alley-oop for a point guard,” saw Huckaby, the head coach of the Fishburne […]
