We definitely have representation in the NCAA Tournament for Virginia – but those are going to get plenty of press.

So, for the local fans, we have three other Virginia schools playing in the NIT – Unfortunately, two of them play each other so we will be down to 2 by the end of the night.

Tonight at 9 pm on ESPN2, the Richmond Spiders (23-9) will travel to Blacksburg to play Virginia Tech (18-14)

Then, Wednesday at 9 pm on ESPN2, the VCU Rams (22-13) get their chance as they travel to Philadelphia for a battle with Villanova.

Obviously, living in Richmond, I am more rooting for the two local Atlantic-10 schools (it is always more fun when the smaller schools win). But if the Hokies win tonight, I will happily cheer for them as well – lets see if one of them can bring a NIT Championship back to Virginia!!!
