The VCU Rams upset the No. 1 seed Villanova in the opening round of the NIT. The USF Bulls also pulled off an upset, taking down the No. 4 UCF Knights.
Now, the two unranked teams will face-off in the second round on Sunday with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line.
The Rams carry the reputation of the Atlantic 10 on their shoulders while the Bulls will try to get the bad taste of a Conference Tournament collapse out of their mouth after having nothing to show for a 16-2 regular season in the AAC.
