We will host as the higher seeded teams host.  Not sure why they can't pick a date and are waiting on the results of the game.

Guess they feel it's about ratings and maybe one of the teams would be better for ratings on a Sat primetime. Completely guessing here.

[ADLER]

Either way is good.

Saturday will give our guests less time to prepare...Sunday will get us our students back.

[CMJ]

I like Sunday to give more time to sell tickets and to get the students back in town.

UVA looks pretty good early.

Here come the bulldogs.

MS ST is hanging in there.  

VA looks scary good in the paint where we are sorely lacking in every game since Abu's performance in the Rice game.

VA 60-57 final

The spread and o/u are going to be interesting. 

[CMJ]

Gonna be a tough game.

Hosting the 2019 National Champions in Denton is pretty cool.

According to Sports Reference, we played them once on the road in 2012, and lost 80-64.

The teams have played before but it was Benford time. This time much different. Once in a lifetime! Person divided!! NIT record for low total points in a game in serious jeopardy!!! Love it!!!!
