In many of the past 15 years, you never knew when Virginia would play its last home basketball game.
They might make the NCAA tournament, but it was more likely an NIT or other college tournament bid that kept the arena going into March. The scheduled regular season finale wasn't going to be the final home contest.
Not this year.
