U.Va. has first 9-0 ACC road finish within reach as it heads to Louisville

De'Andre Hunter banked-in a three-pointer as time expired to give the 'Hoos their ninth ACC road victory and improve their overall record to 27-and-2, 16-and-1 in the ACC - only the third time the 'Hoos have won 16 ACC games in a season.

Freshman Darius Perry hit two free throws with 6 seconds left to put Louisville up 66-62 before committing a Cardinal sin, fouling Jerome on a 3-pointer with less than 1 second left. Virginia, however, was whistled for a lane violation on the attempt, giving the ball back to Louisville with nine-tenths of a second on the clock. "Usually they allow me to run the baseline [and] will allow running the baseline after a score".

With the win, the Wahoos are the first school to ever finish 9-0 in conference games on the road in the ACC.

"I thought if we kept plugging, it was there", said Virginia coach Tony Bennett, calling the milestone "a really good accomplishment".

Jerome led all scorers with 21 points while Adel led the Cardinals with 18. Missed free throws down the stretch that could have sealed the win ultimately came back to hurt the Cardinals.

Virginia: The Cavaliers didn't flinch or fade despite trailing, and stuck with their game plan until getting a final chance that went through.

Hunter's desperation shot capped an unlikely comeback for Virginia, which scored five points in the final.9 seconds, while also spoiling the Cardinals' Senior Night and possibly their NCAA Tournament hopes too.

But then Deng Adel got called for traveling on the inbounds pass. Virginia ball, under the basket, with a chance to tie or win in the final 0.9 seconds. With it went a golden opportunity to get the signature win they needed, one that they let slip away.
