San Francisco Stuns No. 4 Virginia in the Final Minutes of HomeLight Classic

It took just three days for the first top-five upset of the college basketball season.

San Francisco beat No. 4 Virginia by a single point in the final moments of the HomeLight Classic on Friday. This marked the Dons' third game in three days; they lost to UMass Lowell on Wednesday.

The last time that San Francisco beat a top-5 team was 1981.

This matchup against the Cavaliers was not on the original schedule. UVA was originally slotted to play Florida, but the Gators opted out of "Bubbleville" in Connecticut due to positive COVID-19 tests within their program.
