The University of Virginia has a chance to avenge its shocking first-round loss in last year's NCAA basketball tournament, and only one team stands in the way.

Kyle Guy was fouled on a three-point attempt with less than a second left in Saturday's game, and had to hit all three free throws to pull off a thrilling win against Auburn.

The Cavaliers face Texas Tech in the championship game tonight. If they win, it would be Virginia's first national title, and the third championship in the last five years by an ACC team.

Both Duke and North Carolina entered the tournament as number one seeds, but neither made it to the Final Four.

Duke did get some good news over the weekend, though. Freshman standout Zion Williamson was named the Associated Press Men's college basketball player of the year.

He's widely expected to be taken as the first pick in the NBA draft in June.
