In a game that gave Hoo fans all sorts of anxiety, the Cavaliers were eventually able to put away the Butler Bulldogs winning by a score of 77-69.
In a game that was back and forth the whole time, it was the Hoos that were ultimately able to put together one final run and advance to their second Sweet Sixteen in the last three years. The story of the game in the first half was Virginia's inability to hold onto the ball and the inability to make shots. Both were corrected in the second half as Virginia started the half on a torrid pace, scoring on each of their first six possessions.
