All so often, pundits, experts, and fans talk about regular season games having the “feel of March”. Usually, they don’t. Today, they were all 100% accurate as #12 Virginia came into a sold out Wells Fargo Center and nearly escaped with a win over the #1 Villanova Wildcats. The reigning national champions eked out a win with 0.02 seconds left on the clock as Donte DiVicenzo tipped in a Josh Hart miss - his one and only made basket of the game - to push Villanova to a 61-59 victory.
Virginia tied the game at 59 with 15 seconds left on a nifty move in the lane by first year Ty Jerome before Villanova executed their final possession.
