The Virginia men’s basketball team went on the road on Saturday afternoon and defeated the Louisville Cardinals, 68-58. With the win, the Cavaliers earned their third ACC regular season title in four years and secured the No. 1 seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
Trey Murphy, a transfer from Rice playing in his first season in Charlottesville, was instrumental in the win with 17 points on 7-for-12 shooting from the field. During Virginia’s three-game skid to end February, Murphy faded offensively. In the losses at Duke and against NC State, Murphy scored just six total points and went a combined 3-for-7 from the field.
