Virginia set to face Louisville in the second round of the ACC Tournament

With the Louisville Cardinals taking care of business against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 84-74, the Virginia Cavaliers will now play Louisville for the second straight contest as the two meet Wednesday night at 9:30 PM.

While Louisville was leading by 27 points with just under 12 minutes remaining, the Yellow Jackets went on a 27-6 run in over nine minutes of gameplay to make Cardinals fans everywhere nervous. Nevertheless, impressive shot-making from Jarrod West and Noah Locke carried them over the top while the team had five different players in double figures,

Fortunately for Virginia, Georgia Tech’s late run meant that Louisville doesn’t get to simply roll into tomorrow night’s contest fully rested but actually had to close the game out down the stretch.
