Cavaliers, how we hardly knew ye

It's another quick exit for the Virginia Cavaliers, who haven't made it past Day 2 since Clinton's first term in the White House. This year, they were one and done (doesn't bode well for the four of you who voted in our poll that the Wahoos were going to win the tournament). I really thought they were going to come away with a win considering how hot they were shooting the first half. But Georgia Tech just beat them up and down the floor in the second half and gave them a taste of their own medice from the perimeter.

In this business, we journalists all get accused of being a fan of this school or that school. One week I'll receive an angry e-mail from a Virginia fan accusing me of being a Hokie-lover and the next week I'll have a Virginia Tech faithful swearing up and down I were navy and orange seven days a week. The truth of the matter is that I get paid the same amount, little as it may be, to cover a game whether Team A wins or loses. It doesn't matter to me anymore. I try not to get caught up in a specific team (unless it's my alma mater James Madison. Hey, I paid them enough money over four years, I'm going to get something out of it!) Where am I going with this, you might ask? Although I don't care about the teams, I occassionally come across players that I enjoy watching. As an avid ACC basketball watcher, guys like Virginia's Sean Singletary are what college sports are all about. It's a shame he didn't have the talent around him to win more games and achieve the success that a North Carolina or a Duke has.

Now that I've been all sappy, I'll end this by saying check out more video on the sports home page at registerbee.com.
