Unfortunately Louisville is all too familar with the prowess of Virginia, who knocked them off this past Saturday 64-52, after being down by 10 at halftime.

The Hoos are coming on strong to finish the season and once again look like a legitimate threat to not only win the ACC regular season championship, but the conference tournament, and even the National Championship.

The key to this team without a doubt is DeAndre Hunter, a sophomore forward, who has been incredible over the last few weeks. He’s dropped 20-plus points in three of his last four, including a career high 26 against Louisville. With Ty Jerome providing valuable leadership and great scoring in the back court, and the potential emergence of Jay Huff, Virginia is going to be tough to beat regardless of who they play.
