The Cavaliers have battled through their fair share of close games this season, including two overtime games in University Hall. In each of the OT games, Dave Leitao drew up a pair of plays where Virginia had a chance to win at the end of regulation. Throw in the last-second win over Wake Forest and there have been three examples of final play opportunities for the Hoos at home. Leitao said game situations determine what kind of play he goes to late in games.

“It depends on what team it is, the circumstances, the situation, who may or may not be playing well, who you want to have the ball in their hands, that kind of thing,” Leitao said early this season. “Obviously, a lot of it runs through Sean [Singletary], not just because he’s a really good player, but because he’s the point guard too and that’s where it has to start. We’ve got a number of different things we can go to, but it’s dependent on situation, time, and personnel.”

Let’s take a look at the three late-game scenarios this season at U-Hall.
