Cool, calm Virginia clips No. 12 seed Oregon to reach the Elite Eight. MarchMadness
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORELOUISVILLE -- Louis King's 3-pointer swished through the net to break Oregon's second-half stalemate with Virginia, and on the Oregon sideline, teammate Ehab Amin put his hands to his head in disbelief.
The accomplishment comes with ghosts of its own. The Cavaliers were also a No. 1 seed that season when they coughed up a 15-point lead in a loss to Syracuse in the Midwest regional final. The Cavaliers and Ducks combined to shoot 38 percent from the field in the first half, including 9 of 28 from 3-point range.
The Cavaliers were 3 of 15 from beyond the arc until Ty Jerome his a 3-pointer to put Virginia up 21-18 with 3:31 left. Virginia made five of its last seven shots en route to a 30-22 halftime lead.
