Hoos Face Michigan Next After Virginia men's basketball team defeated Green Bay on Friday, 68-42, the attention turned to Michigan, the Cavaliers'opponent in this season's Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Hoos and Wolverines face off on Tuesday night at the John Paul Jones Arena at 7 p.m. The game is televised on ESPN2. Here are some of UVa's thoughts on the upcoming game: Coach Tony Bennett: "They're one of the best teams in the country it appears. They can hurt you in a lot of different ways. We have to be ready to play. I told our guys it's about playing possession by possession. You have to be so good defensively. Certainly we need to be healthy and we'll need to play at a high level, but our system is geared to play good teams and we're going to give everything we've got. I know they're very good. I haven't watched them exclusively. I just saw a few deals at the Maui Invitational, but they're playing at a high level right now." Forward Akil Mitchell: "They're a good team. I haven't really seen them too much yet." Guard Jontel Evans: "They've been one of the top 25 teams in the country. They've been playing some great ball. We watched them in Maui. We're just looking forward to the challenge."

This Week In Recruiting In terms of quantity and quality, Virginia had a big recruiting turnout for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech. Good Counsel (Olney, MD) senior wide receiver Stefon Diggs did make the trip as expected. Brookville (Lynchburg, VA) defensive tackle Korren Kirven, another top remaining 2012 class target of the Hoos, was on hand as well. Joining these two were a number of 2012 class commitments including Eli Harold and Michael Moore, and some top 2013 class prospects including Stone Bridge (Ashburn, VA) quarterback Ryan Burns, Hermitage (Richmond, VA) tailback Derrick Green, Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) tailback Taquan Mizzell and more. Diggs, a 5-star prospect according to Rivals.com and Scout.com, reportedly will reveal his final seven this Tuesday. Throughout this week, I'll be hitting the phones for reaction to Saturday's contest and providing EDGE updates. First up, read the latest on Hermitage offensive guard and UVa commitment Andre Miles-Redmond and Patrick Henry (Roanoke, VA) junior David Prince. Both prospects were in attendance Saturday. Last Friday night, Miles-Redmond helped Hermitage to a 10-0 win over L.C. Bird in the Division 6, Central Region final. The Panthers will host Ken Ekanem-led Centreville this Saturday in the Division 6 state semifinals. The winner will take on the winner of the Oscar Smith/Battlefield contest on Dec. 10 at Scott Stadium. Read more on Miles-Redmond and the rest of Virginia's 2012 class still in action in this morning's "Week In Review" on the Good Ol Blog. Nov. 27 marked the beginning of the Contact Period in the Division 1 men's football. It's less eventful this year, as Virginia has 24 high school seniors committed in the 2012 class. Now, it's all about waiting for those top, top targets - the aforementioned Diggs and Kirven are two of them - to decide before putting the finishing touches on 2012. The staff will of course stay in touch with those committed recruits, but look for a lot of work to be done on the 2013 class in the coming months.

UVa Begins Accepting Bowl Ticket Requests Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release The Virginia athletics department announced Monday it is accepting requests for football bowl game tickets. The Cavaliers became eligible to participate in a bowl for the first time since 2007 on Saturday when they won at Maryland 31-13 for their sixth victory of the season. It is not expected that bowl invitations will be extended until Sunday, Dec. 4, after selections are announced for the Bowl Championship Series, due to the Atlantic Coast Conference's bowl agreements. It would mark the 18th time in the history of the UVa football program the Cavaliers will compete in a bowl game. All fans are encouraged to order bowl tickets from the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office. Each bowl game has a minimum number of tickets the participating schools must purchase. Only tickets purchased through the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office will count towards the minimum number UVa must purchase. In addition, purchasing tickets through the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office ensures Cavalier fans are seated together at the game. Bowl game ticket requests are now being accepted from donors, football season ticket holders and the general public (including alumni) until the priority deadline of Dec. 7. Customers will need to provide a credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover) to place an order but will not be charged until the actual bowl selection is determined. Student tickets will be sold beginning Monday, Dec. 5 at 9 a.m. through the SHOTS ticket request system until the designated student section is sold out. Priority for ticket requests and seating will be given first to Virginia Athletics Foundation donors based on priority points, second to season ticket holders on a date received basis and then to the general public on a date received basis. A Bowl Central website is linked to the front page of VirginiaSports.com to provide updates as information regarding UVa's bowl invitation becomes available. A list of all of the ACC's bowl partners is included with direct links to the various bowl games' official websites. The ACC's bowl selection process is also available at Bowl Central. Fans can make their bowl ticket request online at VirginiaSports.com by logging into their online account or through the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office in Bryant Hall at Scott Stadium. The ticket office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. for in-person or telephone purchases. Telephone purchases can be made by calling 1-800-542-UVA1 (8821) or locally at 434-924-UVA1 (8821).

Issue No. 159 - October 8, 2004 Cavaliers take it to Tigers
Playing physical football, No. 10 Virginia wore down the visitors and earned a 30-10 victory in front of a national audience on ESPN. Alvin Pearman and Wali Lundy combined for 189 rushing yards behind a powerful offensive line that took charge of a close game in the second half. The Tigers scored a touchdown on their first drive and led 10-3 after the first quarter, but the Cavaliers gradually assumed control. The defense limited Clemson to 112 yards and no points in the final three quarters. Meanwhile, Marques Hagans helped Virginia convert 14 of 20 third downs and threw for a career-high 225 yards. Connor Hughes kicked three field goals as UVa stayed unbeaten at 5-0 overall, 2-0 in the ACC. For an article on the Clemson game, please see the link below.
