What a ride for the University of Virginia’s men’s basketball team during the 2019 NCAA Championship.
From this in 2018 …
UMBC stuns Virginia to make NCAA tournament history as first No. 16 seed beat No. 1 seed [1]
… to this one year later [2].
It’s the first ever NCAA Championship for UVa [3]. The long road to victory [4] has a particularly nice flavor.
The official celebration will be held this Saturday, March 13, at Scott Stadium at 2:00 p.m. Gates will open at 12:30 with free parking in lots surrounding the stadium and free admission to the event. For more info, check the Virginia Sports website [5].
Congratulations to Coach Tony Bennett and the UVa men’s basketball team for a fantastic season!
