Wahoos,

Let me take this time to remind you the importance of our sponsors. Without them, we literally could not bring you TheSabre.com and everything the site offers. Please take the time to review our sponsors page and take note when we plug them on our message boards and within SabreMail. Whenever you're in need of a product or service that they offer, please give them first chance at your business.

Today's SabreMail is brought to you by Crown Automotive of Virginia. Crown has four dealerships in the state of Virginia located in Richmond, Midlothian and Charlottesville.

UVa broke their five-game losing streak last Saturday when senior guard Todd Billet drained a 3-point shot at the buzzer as the Hoos upset 15th-ranked Georgia Tech, 82-80. While Billet was the late-game hero, the Cavaliers' had several other players step up to have strong performances and influence the positive outcome of the contest.

Freshman point guard T.J. Bannister had perhaps his greatest game as a Cavalier thus far, playing 31 minutes, contributing 15 points, grabbing four rebounds and dishing out a team-high seven assists. Bannister hit on five of six from the field, while knocking down all four of his free throws. His performance was mirrored by that of junior center Elton Brown. Brown played hungry for most of his 33 minutes, contributing 21 points and snagging seven rebounds (three on the offensive end). Brown's presence was felt inside where he frustrated the Yellow Jackets for most of the night. When Elton wasn't scoring inside, he was being placed on the free throw line, where he hit 9 of 14 shots.

Unfortunately for the Hoos, their game wasn't as good a few days later, losing a road game to Florida State, 76-57. Virginia shot a miserable 36 percent from the field and turned the ball over 14 times. Only one Cavalier, Elton Brown, scored in double figures for the game. Virginia defense allowed the Seminoles to hit on 49 percent from the field while dishing out 19 assists (compared with UVa's nine assists).

Virginia's record now stands at 13-10 overall and just 3-9 in conference play. The Hoos will have to play a road contest against Clemson Saturday, February 21st before coming home and playing North Carolina next Tuesday, February 24th. Saturday's game against the Tigers is scheduled for 4:00 PM EST, while the Tuesday night contest against the Tar Heels is set for 8:00 PM EST. Both games will be televised by the ACC Sports Network (Raycom-Jefferson Productions). Check your local listings for appropriate channels in your area.
