For the fourth time in five seasons, No. 1 Virginia will play in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament after dispatching Louisville for the third time this season 75-58 in Thursday's semifinals from Brooklyn, N.Y.
Friday's first of two semifinal matchups will pit the Cavaliers against fourth-seeded Clemson, who ended Boston College's Cinderella run with a 90-82 win on Thursday.
The Tigers (23-8), one of the ACC's original members, have never won an ACC Tournament title and will be looking to upset the tournament and nation's top team.
Virginia (29-2) suffocated Clemson 61-36 in Charlottesville back in late January, easily the Tigers' worst game of the season.
