Virginia fans are well aware of the magical story behind Virginia Basketball’s Grant Kersey. A manager-turned-walk-on, Kersey has dressed for home games this season for the No. 4 Cavaliers. He entered today’s game with Marshall with a perfect 2-for-2 from the field mark (1-for-1 from three) with no turnovers.
With the Cavaliers comfortably in control, Marshall kept full court pressuring the walk-ons and attempting to dunk on bench players. So when Virginia got the ball back with under 20 seconds left in the game and up 97-64, Kersey whipped the ball out to teammate Austin Katstra in the corner for a three-point attempt.
