Oklahoma and No. 25 Wisconsin will duke it out on the other side of the bracket for a spot in the finals.
De’Andre Hunter finished with 15 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds, just short of Virginia’s first triple-double since Ralph Sampson accomplished the feat in 1979. Kyle Guy added 15 points, and Braxton Key had 13 in the game.
