Landesberg, who led the team in scoring with over 17 a game, is apparently considering going pro after a tumultuous first season under his new head coach that culminated with the suspension for skipping classes. NBA draft pundits consider him a probable second-round selection, which means no guaranteed money for the sophomore.

Landesberg and Bennett have clashed on multiple occasions this season, so it would come as a surprise to no one if he left the school. No one simply stops going to class altogether unless he doesn’t plan on sticking around. Don’t expect him back at UVa next season.

The Cavaliers were the surprise team of the ACC through most of January, but the past month has not been kind.

The 50 points scored by Virginia was their lowest output in their new arena since it opened in 2006.

The one good sign has been the recent emergence of guard Jeff Jones, who might work his way into the starting lineup.

Jones finished with 13 points and three rebounds against the Seminoles to lead the team in scoring.

Virginia got off to a sluggish start but battled back to stay close midway through the first half. Things then came unravelled, and the Cavaliers found themselves down nearly 20 at halftime.

The second half wasn’t much better, as the Cavaliers continued to let the Terps have their way on the offensive end of the floor.

The score actually does not indicate how much of a blowout this really was, as the Cavaliers took advantage of Maryland emptying their bench to catch up a little bit in the final minutes.

The loss effectively knocks Virgina out of the ACC regular season title race, not that anyone though they were a legit contender to begin with.

The change is a result of yet another blizzard set to impact the Maryland area on Wednsday, and the storm was supposed to continue until tip-off.

Not only would it be a problem for fans getting to the game, the Cavaliers would have had to take a bus and go up I-95 through the heart of the storm.

This will also end up being a huge advantage for the Cavaliers, as the Terps will have to play three games in five days, two of which will be on the road.

These two teams have a heated rivalry that also involves a fight for the ACC regular season championship at the moment, so this is certainly a help for Virginia.

It was a good win for the Cavaliers considering they were coming off of a big victory at North Carolina.

Head coach Tony Bennett did a good job of having his team ready and prepared to play the pesky Wolfpack.

The low-scoring affair wasn’t even as close as the final score indicates, as the Cavaliers were up big in the second half.

Virginia trailed by three points at the half but held North Carolina State to just 19 second-half points.

The Cavaliers have stunned everyone this season after getting off to such an ugly start in nonconference play.

Head coach Tony Bennett has employed a tough mentality with his team, preaching the importance of defense and protecting the ball.

Despite the disappointing loss to Virginia Tech, the Cavaliers sit atop the ACC with Duke and Maryland.

After beating North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the Cavs followed it up with a win at home against the North Carolina State Wolfpack, 59-47. They used stout defense in the second half to pull away, holding the Wolfpack scoreless for more than seven minutes.

With star Sylven Landseberg struggling offensively, Mike Scott (15), Mustapha Farrakhan (11) and Jerome Meyinsse (10) picked up the slack.

But the defense was the story in this affair. Virginia limited N.C. State to just 37 percent shooting, and the Wolfpack went 2 of 11 from distance. The iron was even unkind from the free throw line, where they went 9 of 16.

With both the Tar Heels and Wolfpack struggling, though, we should get a beter indication of how legit Tony Bennett’s boys really are when they host Wake Forest on Saturday.

The Cavaliers trailed by one-point heading into halftime, but they were clearly the more energized team in the second half.

New head coach Tony Bennett has made hustle a point of emphasis, and he loved his team’s effort.

A late, 16-4 run by Virginia in the second half ended up being the difference in the game, giving them their second ACC win of the year.

Sylven Landesberg, the team’s prize recruit, led the way with 22 points. He also added five assists.

London ironically is a former member of Al Groh’s staff at Virginia, making the hire slightly uncomfortable.

That said, both sides saw the move as a good fit, as London has proven himself while at Richmond.

He helped lead the Spiders to the national championship in I-AA just two years ago and led them to the playoffs again last year.

London had been rumored to be a prime candidate for the job but some time but continued to say he loved life at his alma mater.

Virginia hung right with the Tigers in the first half, trailing by just three heading into the intermission.

However, Virginia failed to score any points in the second half, and Clemson scored 13 in the third quarter to cruise to the win.

Virginia now just has their big rivarly game with the Virginia Tech Hokies remaining on the schedule.

It will very likely be the last game for Al Groh as head coach at Virginia, which will please the boosters and fans.
