Want to know if UVA won in basketball and football? DidUVAWin.com has the answer!
DidUVAWin.com shows a big "YES", "NO", or "NOT YET" for all UVA basketball and football games. While a game's still in play, it shows "NOT YET", updating the score shown with each refresh of the page. Once a game is finished, it most likely changes to "YES"...but it can also change to "NO".

This is an unofficial UVA Men's Basketball and Football project made by Jake Kenneally. It is not affiliated with the University of Virginia or Virginia Athletics in any way.
If you're interested in building a similar page for your school, please get in contact (and feel free to use this app as your starting point).
A Node.js app using Express and deployed to Render.
The ESPN ID for UVA is stored in constants.ts. Upon load, the app makes two requests for schedules, one for football and one for men's basketball, and determines which game is the most recent game that is not in the future. Then, it figures out if the game is still ongoing. If it is, the app shows "NOT YET" and the score at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, it checks to see if UVA was the winner by matching on the ID in constants.ts and shows the appropriate message and scores from the game.
