They will play Oregon with the comfort of having won four straight games on Louisville's home court, including one that featured an unforgettable rally.
Virginia has won four consecutive games at KFC Yum! Center, the home court of the Louisville Cardinals. By Gene Wang Gene Wang Sports reporter covering local and national college football and basketball Email Bio Follow March 27 at 6:10 PM LOUISVILLE — The Virginia Cavaliers had been so focused in the first weekend of the NCAA tournament that after they advanced to the South Region semifinals, players weren’t exactly certain where their next stop would be.
Even getting the chance for a desperation heave to complete a 13-point rally in the second half was improbable, requiring a series of mental errors. Hunter’s three-pointer off the glass as time expired triggered a wild celebration.Yep, it’s officially March. pic.twitter.com/yZR0OtFyTv Much has gone Virginia’s way through the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, since the first half in the round of 64 when the Cavaliers trailed by double digits against No. 16 seed Gardner-Webb.
Virginia, making its third appearance in the region semifinals under Bennett, has never played an NCAA tournament game in Louisville. The closest the Cavaliers have come was Lexington, Ky., in 1989 for the Southeast regionals. KFC Yum! Center also is approximately 120 miles south from where Guy played high school basketball in Indianapolis. The Cavaliers’ second-leading scorer said he’s received a flood of requests from family and friends for tickets to the regionals.
He and Jerome, Virginia’s third-leading scorer, shot a combined 0 for 11 from three-point range in that game on Feb. 23. Hunter instead handled much of the scoring with a career-high 26 points on 9-for-11 shooting.
