Paradigm check: if the glass-half-full vs glass-empty debate is the optimist/pessimist default, Virginia fans need a new one. After blowout losses in their last four non-cupcake games, Virginia was particularly valiant in a two-point loss to No.

PJ Haggety scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half and No. 21 Memphis shook off a slow start to beat Virginia 64-62 on Wednesday night.

The Memphis basketball team only seconds earlier had secured a road win over Virginia. But the Tigers were already focused on the next challenge.
