Virginia takes another step toward elusive Final Four

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- On a night when both Gene Keady and Ralph Sampson were in the building, Purdue and Virginia each gave themselves a chance to add another long-awaited chapter to their respective program histories.

Purdue blew an 18-point lead to Tennessee in the second half, but Carsen Edwards hit two free throws with 1.7 seconds left to send the game in overtime. The Boilermakers pulled away for a 99-94 win in the extra session.

Virginia had a similarly strong finish, holding Oregon without a field goal for the last 5:43 en route to a 53-49 victory.
