With its blowout of Denver in the NCAA men's Division I semifinal, Virginia got a chance to rest some of its starters throughout the second half, especially in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter. With the championship being played Monday, the extra rest could help the Cavaliers.

The Maryland-Duke matchup in the second semifinal is expected to be a better matchup, a game that many believe will go down to the final minute. Regardless if it's Duke or Maryland as the winner, either team will have played a much tougher opponent than Denver in a semifinal game.
