The mecca for independent coverage and discussion of UVa sports Grabbing the Bull by the Horns Bucknell Preview Brett Wood, Special to TheSabre. Com , December 26, 2000. The Bucknell Bisons will be the Cavalier's guests at University Hall Thursday night and the Wahoos want to make sure they receive a warm welcome. Virginia's last outing, a home date with the University of Maryland - Baltimore County, was more competitive than many expected. UMBC did a nice job of breaking the Cavs' press and has several quality players.
Every team has games when the edge is a bit dull and the legs a little heavy.
For some teams, those games result in upset losses, or perhaps last minute desperation shot victories. Coach Gillen won't spend a lot of time fretting over a 16-point win. However, it will serve to remind the Hoos that the last game was the last game and counts for nothing the next time out. The Cavs can be a very good team, but they're not good enough to take a night off against most of the teams on the schedule. Coach Pat Flannery's Bisons are always competitive within the Patriot league.
