It wasn’t pretty, but the tenth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team did just enough to pull out a 57-55 win over fellow No. With the win, Virginia will advance to face seventh-seeded Georgia in the Round of 64 on Saturday. “[Kymora] belongs on the big stage,” Coach Mox prophesied. Though she was just 4-of-17 from the field and 1-of-7 from 3-point range to that point, Johnson didn’t blink in the game’s biggest moment. Between four seasons’ worth of ACC Tournaments and a 2024 WBIT run, Virginia was just 2-5 in postseason contests under Coach Mox entering Thursday evening.
