LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Malcolm Brogdon and Anthony Gill each scored 13 points and No. 11 Virginia used stifling defense to rout No. 16 Louisville 63-47 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory.

The Cavaliers (17-4, 6-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) needed no late-game heroics after rallying from 10 points down in the final 1:23 and beating Wake Forest 72-71 Wednesday on Darius Thompson's 3-pointer at the buzzer. They were simply thorough on both ends, holding the Cardinals to season lows in shooting (33 percent) and points nearly a year after losing 52-47 to Virginia last year in Charlottesville.

The Cavaliers also shot 58 percent from the field.
