Though they had to wait for all of the NCAA Selection Sunday shows to end to discover their fate, the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team shall ride again.
The Bearcats are a No. 4 seed hosting Virginia Tech of the Atlantic Coast Conference at 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Tickets at reasonable prices went on sale Monday morning. It's UC's 45th postseason appearance and their first in the NIT since 2010. The Bearcats and Hokies were conference mates in the old Metro and last played during the first two seasons of the Bob Huggins era.
