It would be a helluva story for UVA to win it all after last year, wouldn’t it?
I have a hard time pulling for auburn and/or Pearl, so go cavs.

Of course Auburn looks like they can’t throw it in the ocean (early on anyway).
They’ll never make 17 3’s again like they did against us
I'm just amazed what UVA gets away with defensively. We did the exact same thing to Harper and it was called a foul every time. Every UVA hack is all ball I guess.
First time I think I've ever seen it: there was no under-4 timeout. The ball was live from like five minutes remaining until halftime. Pretty hard to do.
Very much pulling for the Hoos to pull this one out, then pull it out Monday. Looks good for the conference. That would be three different teams from the ACC winning championships in the last 5 years.
Well Uva is better on d than we were but auburn has missed about 10 open 3s they made against us.
I know it’s easy to say but feels like at full strength we’d be up by at least 10 over either of these teams’ game tonight

Despite their lack of makes, Auburn continues to chuck. If they can knock down a couple, this game could get super tight down the stretch.
I hope UVA wins with this style. People used to hate Dean Smith's four corners... but, it won a lot of games! It forced a shot clock!
That was a clear foul on the 3 tho.
Yeah... that foul was legit. They fouled the wrong Guy
It was. Good call but most zebras would swallow their whistle on that one.
A foul is a foul no matter if it’s 2 seconds in or 2 seconds left.
That’s not the call to complain about. Jerome should have been called for a double dribble before getting fouled. Bounced the ball off his foot and then dribbled again after going to pick it up.
Really the ref should be applauded for that last foul call. I'd have a higher bar for calling a foul in the last seconds, but that one was pretty clear and a lot of refs wouldn't have the guts to do it. The one to complain about is definitely the no-call on the double dribble. Hearing about that missed call (I doubt most people caught it live) must be tough to swallow as an AU fan.
I can't get over that double dribble. Ty Jerome lost the game for UVA by dribbling it off his foot. And somehow, the refs don't call it.
This is why I am not a college coach. I would have charged the court.

Yep. But if that last play was Cam getting fouled we’d all scream bloody murder if it wasn’t called.
That's what I'm saying. It was the right call.
Crazy how Virginia was the first No. 1 to lose to a 16 seed last year, now they're the only No. 1 seed left and playing for the Championship Monday. Glad to see Auburn go home.
Gotcha. I think I got mixed up on who I was responding to. But definitely agree the final call was correct.
The amount of physical mauling by both teams without any foul calls is atrocious. Slows it down to a no scoring slog fest. Not the way the game is intended to be played. Horrible to watch. It should not be rewarded.
Many years ago that was normal play for the Big 10 Conference but not so much for the rest. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now! I wish it had stayed in the B10!
