Kasey Hill has never smiled so wide after shooting an air ball.
UF’s point guard grinned and pointed to his bench in satisfaction after his three-pointer sailed way over the rim, since forward Kevarrius Hayes was there to catch the shot and put it back for two points.
“That was a pass,” Hill joked. “Honestly, I shot it and just air-balled… but I’m glad it made it in his hands and he scored it.”
Hayes’ putback off the glass came as part of a 21-0 run, in which Virginia was held scoreless for a full 8 minutes and 23 seconds, to pull away from the Cavaliers in Orlando on Saturday.
