The UVA men’s basketball team was off to a fiery five-game winning streak before their trip to the Philly Hoop Group Classic to play against Seton Hall. The Cavs had made short work of a couple of teams with names that sound like those of the feeble kids that get picked on in grade school (Drexel, an exhibition against Carson-Newman) and even rocked the knee-socks of the serious hoopsters from Arizona. Whether word of a Cav football loss reached and disheartened the team or it was just a bad karmic day for UVA, Seton Hall maintained an eight-point lead through the latter half of the game and tacked a few on at the end to hand the No. 23 Virginia squad a 74-60 loss. Sean Singletary dropped 23 points in the bucket on seven of 20 shots, while Mamadi Diane and Calvin Baker chipped in with 12 and nine points, respectively. The [possibly unranked?] Cavaliers, still undefeated at home, take on Northwestern in Charlottesville on Tuesday night.
