Virginia had appeared poised to pull away midway through the second half, before Furman reeled the deficit back in courtesy of consecutive three-pointers. Moments later, with 6:25 to go, Mike Bothwell, the Paladins’ leading scorer, picked up a fifth personal foul. Virginia led by six after the subsequent free throws, but the Paladins then mounted a furious rally, sparked by Slawson, a fifth-year senior, taking their first lead with just more than 5 minutes remaining.
