Virginia Tech's win over Mississippi Valley State is a little deceptive looking at the final score..
V-Tech is 7-1 & undefeated at home and MSVU is 0-6 and playing poorly and VT should have blown MVSU out right from the start but MVSU actually led late into the first half, and was only down 6 at half.
Tech didn't safely have a double digit lead until the final 13 minutes.
We can't take any game lightly.

BTW - they only drew 4900 at Virginia Tech by far their worst home crowd - almost 3000 fewer than their last home game...and one of their worst home crowds in a decade...
(BTW - VT has a nice, color downloadable media guide)

My wife and I will be headed for Vegas early Wednesday morning. We already have our tickets.

Any chance the Saturday games will be streamed online?

Any chance the Saturday games will be streamed online?

I do not know, but it seems unlikely. The rights are owned by the tournament organizers, and I can't see that they have ever been streamed in past tournaments.
