Hunter made a 3-pointer with 53.1 seconds left and Virginia protecting a 60-56 lead. It turned out to provide just enough cushion to keep the Cavaliers (5-0) in control and send them into the title game Friday against No. 25 Wisconsin.

Josh Cunningham led Dayton (4-1) with 15 points.

In the first semifinal, D’Mitrik Trice set career highs with 25 points and a tournament-record seven 3-pointers to help Wisconsin beat Oklahoma 78-58.

Trice started 7-for-7 from behind the arc, the last coming when he pump-faked a defender and stepped to his right to bury the shot for a 66-47 lead with 6:22 left. He finally missed a 3 less than a minute later to finish 7-for-8 for the Badgers (5-0).

Ethan Happ had 14 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, Kobe King had 14 points and Nate Reuvers added 12 in the victory.

Christian James scored 18 points for the Sooners (4-1).
