After earning the No. 1 seed and a double-bye in this week's ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, top-ranked Virginia could do nothing but watch, and wait to see who their opponent would be, come Thursday.
That opponent will be Louisville.
The ninth-seeded Cardinals, who notched a much-needed win over No. 8 seed Florida State on Wednesday, will get a rematch with the Cavaliers one week after blowing a 13-point second-half lead against Virginia in a heartbreaking 67-66 loss.
"We didn't say, 'Oh, we have to beat Florida State so we can play Virginia'", Louisville interim coach David Padgett said after the win.
