Florida blows out Virginia to punch Sweet Sixteen ticket

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.
