Virginia’s Clutch Win
Virginia’s
nail-biting
trip
through the NCAA Tournament
will go down in history as one
of the most clutch performances
from game-to-game by any cham-
pionship team.
The Cavaliers’ overtime victo-
ry over Texas Tech Monday made
them just the sixth title team to
win multiple-overtime games in
a tournament, and the first since
Arizona accomplished the feat in
1997.
They outscored their opponents
by a scant combined 45 points, the
third-lowest margin of victory by a
championship team since the field
expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
The only comfortable game
was their opening win over No.
16 seed Gardner-Webb, and that
came after falling into an early
hole. Virginia beat Oklahoma 63-
51 in the second round, edged Or-
egon 53-49 in the regional semi-
finals and needed a last-second
floater to force OT in a win over
Purdue.
“We have a saying: The most
faithful win,” Virginia coach Tony
Bennett said. “These guys were so
faithful. Obviously we had some
amazing plays.”
