- No 13 seed Furman spring major upset in wild final sequence
- Paladins making first NCAA tournament appearance in 43 years
JP Pegues made a three-pointer with 2.4 seconds remaining, and No 13 seed Furman completed a rally from a 12-point second-half deficit to hand fourth-seeded Virginia another first-round NCAA tournament loss, 68-67 on Thursday.
Making their first trip to the NCAA tournament in 43 years, the Paladins (28-7) advanced to the second round in the South Region, where they will play either fifth-seeded San Diego State or 12th-seeded Charleston on Saturday.
