The VT-Maryland basketball game last night was delayed by a water main break. After this game, VT's hopes of making the Big Dance may have gone down the drain as well! In a double overtime thriller, the Terps held off the Hokies and stunned the white out crowd at the damp Cassell Coliseum. Not even an extra stanza of "Enter Sandman" could save the Hokies as they just couldn't make enough plays to get it done. During the post-game press conference, Seth Greenburg was uncharacteristically quiet, his voice hoarse and calm. Games with N.C. State and GT await. Looks like VT has some work to do on that NCAA Tournament resume!
The Waste Management Golf Tournament being held out in Arizona this week has been a ratings success! The improving games of Anthony Kim and Rickie Fowler give golf a chance to move forward without Tiger. Couple that with the 16th hole, the fan friendly par 3 that always has a racous crowd, and you've got a great weekend going. Doesn't hurt that Phil made the cut in his home state!
The University of Virginia's baseball team moved to the top of the college baseball world this week. The HOOS are currently ranked #1 and have looked dominant so far this season. Coach Brian O'Connor has a very good staff, a seasoned team, and the talent to not just make it to Omaha this year, but to win it all. If I'm the Athletic Director, right now I'm trying to figure out a way to sign this man to a long term contract. The proof is in the pudding and this man can flat out coach!
