Less than three hours into the round of 64 of the men’s tournament, and we already have a wild finish, with No. 13 seed Furman knocking off Virginia, a No. 4 seed that may be best known for dropping its first-round game as the tournament’s top overall seed five years ago.
This time, it looked like Virginia would hold off a rally by Furman until an inbounds play by the Cavaliers completely broke down. Kihei Clark tried to pass the ball halfway up the court, but it was intercepted by Furman’s Garrett Hien. He quickly passed it to JP Pegues, who nailed a 3-pointer from the wing to give Furman a game-winner with about 2 seconds left.
