Blog Banter: Meet Mason At Wizards Game From TheSabre.com's Good Ol Blog Virginia basketball fans have an opportunity to meet NBA guard Roger Mason Jr. thanks to the UVA Club of Washington and the Washington Wizards. The two organizations have teamed up for a meet and greet event with Mason on Tuesday, April 10 following the Wizards’ game with the Orlando Magic. Mason will be available to take pictures and sign autographs. The first 200 people also receive a signed photo of Mason from his Virginia days. For more information on this event or to buy tickets, please click here. Mason played three seasons at UVa and helped the Hoos make the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 13.8 points per game as a Cavalier and set the career free throw percentage record at 86.9% (318-366). As a junior, he earned second-team All-ACC honors after scoring 18.6 points per game. He elected to leave Virginia early and was selected in the NBA Draft’s second round by Chicago in 2002. |

This Week In Recruiting Football Recruiting
Basketball Recruiting Pointguardu.com, a website devoted to coverage of University of Arizona basketball, tweeted last night that former Duquesne point guard T.J. McConnell had committed to Arizona. McConnell, though, has yet to officially confirm anything as of this writing. He has narrowed his list down to Arizona and Virginia and is expected to decide for one of the schools any day. Should UVa lose out on McConnell, the Hoos likely would make a push for freshman point guard Dylan Ennis. Ennis, who is transferring from Rice, reportedly has a final five of Villanova, Cincinnati, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Boston College (per Twitter reports, this is the current order of standing). Also on the transfer front, power forward Anthony Gill has received permission from South Carolina to speak with other schools. UVa is expected to be in the mix for Gill, a 6'8" freshman out of Charlotte (N.C.).

Issue No. 493 - April 25, 2011
Virginia Rowing Wins 2011 ACC Championship The fifth-ranked Virginia rowing team won every race en route to capturing the team title at the 2011 ACC Championship Saturday (April 23) on Clemson's Lake Hartwell. For Virginia rowing, it was the 11th conference title in the 12-year history of the rowing championship and the Cavaliers swept all four races for the second-consecutive year. "It is awesome to win the ACC Championship again," UVa head coach Kevin Sauer said. "We were humble but hungry, coming into this thing prepared and ready to go. We are very glad we were able to win all four races and the [exhibition] Second Varsity Four as well. The Varsity Eight race was a barnburner all the way down the course, Clemson did a great job, and we were glad to get our bow in front." Virginia finished first in the Varsity Eight (24 points), Second Varsity Eight (18 points), Varsity Four (12 points) and Novice Eight (six points) to claim the team title with 60 points in front of an ACC-record crowd of 1,022. No. 14 Clemson was second with 49 points, followed by Duke with 41 points, Miami with 23 points, Boston College with 22 points and North Carolina with 14 points. Following the regatta, the conference announced its postseason awards and UVa's Sauer was named the ACC Coach of the Year for the seventh time in his career and second-consecutive year. Virginia rowers Claudia Blandford, Christine Roper, Martha Kuzzy, Kristine O'Brien and coxswain Sidney Thorsten were named to the All-ACC team. Kuzzy and O'Brien added the All-ACC nods to their ACC Freshman of the Year awards (Kuzzy in 2009 and O'Brien in 2010). Thorsten, a junior, was a repeat selection to the all-conference team. "We have a lot of kids that contribute to this program and a few of them are always going to be named All-ACC but in my book every one of them is an All-ACC selection," Sauer said. "We have great depth and great camaraderie that is really cool to see." Read SabreMail No. 493 here. |
