Hundreds of the University of Virginia students stormed The Corner after a nail-biting win against Auburn.
The University of Virginia is advancing to the NCAA championship game for the first time in its history. This is what it was like on campus.
He didn’t know it yet, but in about eight months Coach Tony Bennett would stand in front of his Virginia team before the Elite Eight and call back to this moment, employing it as an example of faith. But now, Bennett, in his floral orange swim trunks and blue helmet, was floating in the New River in West Virginia, surrounded by his players and assistants on a sweltering August day. The team had gone whitewater rafting, but the boats had been playfully tipped over, pouring the men into the murky waters. He took a moment to himself: “Alright, Lord. What’s this year going to bring?”
Kihei Clark might smile when he's with his teammates behind closed doors. He might laugh when he watches a funny video. He might chuckle at one of Tony Bennett's corny jokes, within the confines of the Virginia men's basketball closed practices. But the face he shows the public, and opponents, is all business. Perhaps that's because at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds, the freshman guard is not supposed to be starting for most college basketball teams, let alone one that is in the championship game of the NCAA tournament on Monday night.
If you follow UVA hoops, you understand that the goal is to prevent the opponent from finding and taking an easy shot. It stops the opposing team from scoring in transition and forces them to work harder. On offense, the objective is to find the best shot
Jack Salt has created history, becoming the first Kiwi to reach U.S. college basketball's national championship final. On Sunday (NZ time), Salt's Cavaliers beat Auburn 63-62 at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to reach the national championship game.
Virginia Cavalier fans on Sunday prepared for Monday’s men’s basketball national championship game by stocking up on team gear, studying early for biology class and picking up trash and lost belongings from the night before.
George K. Yin, a tax law professor at the University of Virginia, disagreed. He said Mr. Neal’s argument was cleverly framed, particularly in light of a relevant past use of Section 6103 by Congress in examining whether President Richard M. Nixon had properly paid his taxes. “There is an inherent conflict of interest when the agency is responsible for auditing its boss,” he said.
“The IRS has to audit the president, and that puts them in an almost automatic conflict of interest when you have to audit your boss,” said George Yin, a UVA law professor and former staffer on the Joint Committee on Taxation who wrote a widely circulated paper on the statute that empowers Neal to issue the request. “But I think that from the standpoint of the committee, that seems like a very clear and legitimate reason to make this type of request.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he believes the conservative network is largely a propaganda arm of President Donald Trump’s administration. “It’s the closest we’ve come to having state TV,” Nicole Hemmer, an assistant professor at the University of Virginia who has studied conservative media, told Mayer.
Swirls of aqua and peach command a starry night sky in the Xigazê region of Tibet in April 2014. Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories of China in Beijing and the University of Virginia in Charlottesville are observing colorful ripples of airglow. To get the photo, Jeff Dai — then an engineer on a photography holiday and now a full-time photographer — ran a long exposure of 47 seconds.
The University of Virginia, Mary Baldwin University, Old Dominion University and local resource agencies will participate, as well.

The UVA School of Nursing is recognizing a distinguished group of black nurses who studied in Charlottesville. On Saturday, the school hosted a celebration of “Hidden Nurses” to honor a group of women who graduated from Burley High School's Licensed Practical Nursing program. The women graduated before the school was desegregated and many went on to become nurses at UVA Medical Center.
(Subscription required) When Auburn University and University of Virginia meet in the NCAA tournament this weekend, it’s going to be tough to tell their fans apart. They share school colors. And a history of petty theft.
