No. 13 Furman delivered the first major upset of the 2023 men’s NCAA tournament in spectacular fashion, knocking off No. 4 Virginia after a chaotic final sequence.
With the Cavaliers leading 67–65 and time winding down, UVA point guard Kihei Clark turned the ball over with a wild pass, allowing Furman guard JP Pegues to drain a three-pointer to take a 68–67 lead with 2.4 seconds remaining.
Reece Beekman got a shot off on the ensuing Virginia possession, but it rimmed out, sealing the win for Furman and delivering the first memorable March Madness moment of the year.
