Exactly 46 years after their first meeting, the Virginia Cavaliers took down the visiting Golden Flashes from Kent State, 71-64. The No. 15 Cavaliers needed an extra five minutes to secure the victory against the Golden Flashes, with Sam Hauser scoring six of the nine points in overtime. Virginia led 62-59 with five seconds left before Kent State’s Danny Pippen connected on a game-tying three as the buzzer sounded inside the mostly-empty John Paul Jones Arena.
The Golden Flashes had four shots in OT before Virginia even had a possession, but Hauser made a layup and a three to put the game out of reach.
