No. 1 Virginia completed one of the most improbable come-from-behind victories in recent memory on Thursday at Louisville.

Not only did the Cavaliers come back from 13 points down against Louisville, but with 0.9 seconds remaining on the clock they broke the Cardinals' heart with a bank-shot 3-pointer that defied all logic.

De'Andre Hunter barely had a chance to take a shot, but he had just enough time off the inbounds pass from Ty Jerome that he got it up in the air and said a prayer. The plea was answered and the shot fell.


What made it even worse for the Cardinals and their fans though was they had possession of the ball with less than a second to play, but a turnover by Deng Adel gave the ball back to Virginia and the rest is history.


Louisville still has a chance to make the tournament with a 19-11 record, but their berth would have been all but guaranteed with a win over the No. 1 team in the country.
