Anthony Gill led the way with 19 points and seven boards as No. 1 Virginia cruised past No. 19 Hampton, 81-45.
The Cavaliers will advance to face No. 9 seed Butler in the second round.
There was a scary moment near the end of the first half, as UVA head coach Tony Bennett collapsed on the sidelines:

Bennett spent a couple of minutes sitting on the bench with the game stopped before heading back into the locker room. He returned for the second half.
“I jsut was crouched down and was a little dehydrated, got up and blacked out a little bit. But I’m OK,” Bennett told truTV after the break. “I just think I was crouched down in that spot, got up quick and got a head rush.”
And in case you were worried, the other Tony Bennett is OK, too:
I wanted to let all my fans know that Im ok. Glad to hear UVA coach Tony Bennett is fine after his fall. Congrats @UVAMensHoops on the win!
