Quotes of Note
Leitao: ‘No Excuse Program’
He’s going to need more than just the attitude to raise Virginia’s struggling program out of the bottom tier of the ACC…but, it is nice to see this. “If our mentality is, ‘Hey, we only lost by a few tonight and that’s a good thing,’ that’s not where I’m trying to go with this program. […]

Hodge Forgets NCSpin & Fails to Make Opening Roster
Maybe we should cool the talk about Julius Hodge becoming Herb Sendek’s first player (to leave the NC State program on good terms) to play in the National Basketball Association until it actually happens. Although it is sure to happen at some point, the rookie drafted twentieth overall by the Denver Nuggets has failed to […]
