About This Game
In a defensive chess match that went the distance, Virginia claimed the national championship by outlasting Texas Tech 85-77 in overtime—a battle decided not by three-point marksmanship but by execution at the foul line and control of the glass. Texas Tech's potent offense kept pace through regulation, sinking 17 field goals to Virginia's 16, yet the Red Raiders couldn't find separation. Virginia's defense held firm while the Cavaliers dominated the boards (40 rebounds to 33) and, crucially, converted 20 free throws against Tech's 13—a 7-point advantage that ultimately proved decisive. Both teams struggled inside the arc in this gritty affair, combining for 73 missed shots and showing the kind of defensive discipline that defines championship basketball. As overtime arrived, Virginia's composure prevailed, turning a game that could have gone either way into a coronation. This is the kind of moment—the tension, the rhythm, the final crescendo—that deserves to live on your wall. Every possession, every defensive stand, every clutch shot is captured in a Gameprint.
