Virginia Earns No. 4 Seed for ACC Tournament Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release The Virginia men's basketball team will be the No. 4 seed in the 2012 ACC Tournament, scheduled for March 8-11 at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The Cavaliers receive a first round bye and will open play with a quarterfinal game against either NC State or Boston College on Friday. Virginia's quarterfinal game will be at 2 p.m., or 30 minutes following the first game of the day. The ACC Tournament will be televised on the ACC Network within the ACC footprint and on the ESPN family of networks throughout the rest of the nation. The Cavaliers (22-8) finished in a fourth-place tie with NC State and Miami at 9-7 in ACC play. Virginia defeated Miami and NC State in the only regular season meeting against both the Hurricanes and Wolfpack to win the tiebreaker and earn the No. 4 seed. |

This Week In Recruiting Basketball Recruiting - UVa Recruits In Playoff Action A pair of Virginia basketball recruits - 2012 class signee Evan Nolte and 2014 class commitment B.J. Stith - are still alive in postseason play after their respective teams earned victories this past weekend. Nolte, a 6'8" forward, demonstrated his offensive prowess with a 30-point outburst against North Gwinnett. He made 9 of 11 shots, going a perfect 5-5 in the second half in Milton's (Alpharetta, GA) 22-point victory. The Eagles advance to the Class AAAAA State Semifinals, which take place this Thursday. Stith was hindered by foul trouble in the first half of Saturday's Group AA Division III State Quarterfinal against Handley, but older brother Brandan and senior Shaquille Jones picked up the slack. Brandan Stith and Jones had 21 points apiece as the Bulldogs pulled away from Handley, 63-38. Brunswick meets Rockbridge County on Tuesday night in a state semifinal game. Football Recruiting - QBs Come Off The Board The state of Virginia's class of 2013 features three prominent quarterback prospects: Stone Bridge's Ryan Burns, Fork Union's Christian Hackenberg and Virginia Beach Salem's Bucky Hodges. After last week, only the 6'6", 220-pound Hodges remains uncommitted. Hackenberg was the first to commit last week, pledging to Penn State and new head coach Bill O'Brien. Burns followed suit last night, choosing Stanford over offers from Penn State, Virginia and others. There is no question that Burns and Hackenberg were high on the list of UVa targets. The news is not all bad for the Hoos on the quarterback recruiting front, though. As reported on the EDGE last week, Virginia is the heavy favorite for 6'5", 210-pound junior Brendan "Whitey" Marshall. Marshall plans on visiting Virginia again in late March or early April and mentioned the possibility of committing, but it wouldn't be a surprise if a pledge came sooner rather than later. We'll be sure to monitor any new developments with Marshall this week, in addition to the usual beat of class of 2013 recruiting updates.

Issue No. 478 - Jan. 10, 2011 Scott To Miss Rest Of Season UVa Athletics Media Relations Official Release Virginia senior forward Mike Scott (Chesapeake, Va.) will undergo a second operation on his left ankle and miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season. The 6-8 Scott had arthroscopic surgery on Dec. 16 to remove loose pieces of cartilage from the ankle. The second surgery is for additional cartilage work and to remove impinging bone spurs. He is expected to return to full activity in three to four months. Scott has not played in six of Virginia's last seven games. "Obviously we are going to miss having Mike on the court, but the most important consideration is what's best for him," said Virginia head coach Tony Bennett. "He will have the operation and focus on taking care of rehabilitating his ankle. In his absence all of our players will need to continue to step up and our young frontcourt players will continue to gain valuable experience." It is expected that the paperwork necessary to request a medical hardship enabling Scott to retain a year of eligibility will be filed. Scott has played in 10 games this season and leads the Cavaliers in scoring (15.9 ppg.) and rebounding (10.2 rpg.) average. He has six double-doubles, including a stretch of five double-doubles in a row. He is the first Virginia player to have five consecutive double-doubles since Ralph Sampson in 1983. Scott was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week on Dec. 6 for his play in the Cavaliers' victories at Minnesota (Nov. 29) and Virginia Tech (Dec. 5). Sabre staff note: TheSabre.com's sources indicate that Scott's intentions right now are to undergo rehabilitation, apply for the medical hardship waiver, and, if granted, return to Virginia next season.
