Virginia-Louisville Recap

Sometimes a team (Virginia) is just meant to lose a game.  When the opposing team’s 5^th scoring option (Louisville’s Mangok Mathiang) calmly swishes the game winning 15 footer with 2.7 seconds left, then it’s one of those times.  This was Louisville’s game to win, and a great game to watch.  These were two well-coached, hard-nosed team battling it out throughout the night, neither wilting under the pressure, each team hitting clutch shots down the stretch.  Virginia will benefit from this game as they head in to tournament play if they can use the rotten feeling of losing a game on an opposing team’s home court as motivation.
