De'Andre Hunter Powers No. 3 UVA in Comeback Win vs. No. 18 Louisville

The third-ranked Virginia Cavaliers continued their recent hot streak against ACC competition with a come-from-behind 64-52 win over the No. 18 Louisville Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center on Saturday.

The Cavaliers erased a 12-point deficit by outscoring Louisville 37-15 in the second half.

Since an 81-71 loss against Duke on Feb. 9, Virginia has won four straight games, all in the ACC. Three of those wins came over ranked opponents, including North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Louisville.

Virginia started the day tied with Duke and North Carolina atop the conference standings at 11-2. The Cavaliers are at a disadvantage for conference tournament seeding since they lost both head-to-head games against the Blue Devils, but they are in excellent position to at least secure a top-three seed.
