Virginia Basketball: Hoos escape California behind late Perrantes three

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

In one of the wildest games in the history of John Paul Jones Arena, London Perrantes sank a three from the left wing with 10 seconds left to push the Cavaliers' win streak to nine games and beat California 63-62.

When the tide turned

Perrantes fed it to Malcolm Brogdon after an in-bounds play with 22 seconds to go, got it right back, and pulled up with Tyrone Wallace desperately putting a hand in his face. His off-balance jumper right in front of the Virginia bench was true, and JPJ entered the stratosphere.
