Lots of notable Virginia alums were at U.S. Bank Stadium to be part of Cavalier basketball history on Monday night when the program captured its first NCAA Final Four championship.

Any more questions, America? After falling to the depths of college basketball during the madness of last March, becoming the first No. 1 seed in history to lose to a No. 16 seed, and suffering the scorn of the American sporting public, Virginia rose from purgatory to paradise Monday night.

It was a moment that Virginia fans, players and coaches have dreamed of, and it was magical. In the end, the confetti rained orange and blue as chants of “U-V-A” and “Wahoowa” were heard from every direction.

Here’s a collection of coach and player quotes from both Virginia and Texas Tech ahead of Monday night’s National Championship game.

When Virginia’s basketball team arrived in Minneapolis a few days ago, each person was presented a boat paddle emblazoned with the message: “The Road Ends Here.”

When Kyle Guy was fouled with sixth-tenths of a second remaining in Saturday night’s national semifinal, the junior guard headed to the sidelines with his Virginia teammates while game officials reviewed how much time officially remained on the clock.

Yes, Virginia. There is a national championship game Monday night, and thanks to three Kyle Guy free throws with just six-tenths of a second on the clock, the Cavaliers will be one of the participants.

When Virginia made the Final Four in 1984, no one would have guessed it would be 35 years before the Cavaliers would grace the Big Dance again.

When Virginia tips off against Auburn in tonight’s Final Four at U.S. Bank Stadium, both the Cavaliers and Tigers can say that at least they’ve had a few opportunities to practice and get a feel for the court, which essentially is sitting atop a football field.
