The Virginia Cavaliers football team suffered another brutal road loss over the weekend, falling to Louisville, 28-21. In basketball news, Pierce detailed his top five backcourts in the ACC ahead of the 2019-20 season.
On Saturday, former UVA center Felicia Aiyeotan announced that she has been diagnosed with Marfan syndrome - a genetic disorder that affects various connective tissues - which will end her collegiate basketball career prematurely. The news came as a shock to the senior, who views the sport as life-altering: “I was introduced to basketball about nearly a decade ago and it gave me an environment where my height was a source of strength. Since then my life has changed drastically.”
On behalf of the STL staff and all Wahoo fans alike, we are here to support you, Felicia!
From Felicia Aiyeotan -
