Ill-timed gaffes cost Louisville the signature win it needed to secure an NCAA bid
To bag the signature win it needed to all but secure an NCAA tournament bid, Louisville merely had to protect a four-point lead with less than a second to go. Louisville’s Darius Perry needlessly gave Virginia life when he fouled guard Ty Jerome on an otherwise meaningless 3-point attempt with 0.9 seconds to go. When Louisville forward Deng Adel ignored a referee’s warning that he was not allowed to run the baseline to create space to throw the ball in bounds, the ill-timed traveling violation gave possession back to Virginia with no time coming off the clock. The Cavaliers then made the Cardinals pay with a buzzer beater worthy of the first day of March. When Perry sank two foul shots to put his team up four with seven seconds to go, Virginia was all but dead and Louisville was all but celebrating.

Hunter's 3 helps No. 1 Virginia edge Louisville 67-66
Next came the dog pile of delirious players celebrating in front of the Cardinals' bench, with Hunter lost somewhere in the middle of it all. "I just knew I had to get a shot off quick," said Hunter, standing in a boot with his right knee wrapped in ice after turning it in practice this week. I just forgot I couldn't take an extra step and I was just trying to get it to Darius." Hunter delivered with that final chance to help Virginia make ACC history as the first team to go 9-0 on the road in league play. The loss spoiled the home finales for Cardinals senior Quentin Snider (13 points) and Anas Mahoud, whose two quick fouls in the second half sent him to the bench with four. Shooting 56 percent in the second half helped along with holding Louisville to 36 percent after halftime.

Virginia coach Tony Bennett, coaching in his 300th game for the program, said he did talk to the referees about watching for a possible travel on Adel’s fateful turnover. When Jerome saw the ball come out of the redshirt freshman’s hands, he knew it was going well left of the rim. As he came out of the locker room to talk to the radio broadcasters, a couple hundred Virginia fans in attendance stuck around to give him another ovation for the first buzzer-beater in his basketball career.

Armed militia plans anti-immigrant Virginia rally this weekend
Members of the 'Three Percenters' militia carried military-style rifles on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia during the August 2016 deadly clashes there between white supremacists and counter-protesters; authorities in a nearby town expect the group to march in a nearby town on Saturday Members of the group can be identified by uniform patches that include the Roman numeral 'III' Dr. The state of Virginia allows residents over the age of 18 to openly carry loaded rifles in public without a special license. Nexus CEO Mike Donovan claimed Monday in a press release that the group stands for 'the right to accumulate weapons of war, and the nationalistic attitude preventing immigrants from preserving their rights.' The militia's decision to target a company offering immigration bonds without collateral to federal detainees – those who are willing to wear GPS monitors and pay a monthly fee – appears intended to provoke. The minimum bond about is $1,500 but the amounts can skyrocket beyond many people's ability to pay. After the clashes in Charlottesville, the group issued a 'stand down order,' blaming Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters for 'show[ing] up to counter-protest against alt-right white supremacists and Nazi groups.' The Three Percenters take their name from a mythical 3 percent of colonists who fought against the British during the American Revolution.
