If there is any indication of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee revealing their early Top 16 seeds on Saturday, it’s that RPI Top 50 wins matter.
The Virginia Tech Hokies (16-7, 5-6 ACC) will look for their second Top 50 win of the season on Sunday afternoon as they look for the season-split against 12th-ranked in-state rival, Virginia (18-5, 8-3 ACC), at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg. Squarely on the tournament bubble, a win in this spot would do wonders for the Hokies’ tournament hopes with less than a month to play before Selection Sunday.
Virginia Tech dropped the first meeting to Virginia on February 1st in Charlottesville, a game in which the Hokies shot 3-for-20 from three.
