In the Midwest Region of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, No. 3 Virginia will open against No. 14 Wright State, playing the first round game in Philadelphia Friday, March 20 at 1:50 p.m.
Virginia (29-5) is coming off a loss to Duke in the ACC Tournament championship. Virginia fell 74-70 to the Blue Devils, but that came just two weeks after losing to Duke by 26 points in Durham. Virginia is ranked No. 9 in the latest AP Top-25 rankings.
Wright State (23-11) won the Horizon League Tournament, erasing a 12-point deficit to beat Detroit Mercy 66-63 and earn a spot into the NCAA Tournament.
It's the first meeting between the two teams.
The winner of this game will play either No. 6 Tennessee or No. 11 Miami Ohio/SMU, one of the First Four games. Michigan is the top seed, while Iowa State is No. 2 and Alabama is No. 4.
Virginia won the 2019 national championship, but has failed to win a game in the tournament since then. Virginia has missed the tournament twice since then, including last season, losing in the ACC Tournament to Georgia Tech and finishing the year 15-17.
Wright State will play in the NCAA tournament for the fifth time. The Raiders are 1-4 in March Madness with its lone win coming in a 2022 First Four game over Bryant.
TV: TBS
Play-by-play Andrew Catalon, analyst Steve Lappas and reporter Evan Washburn will have the call.
Also watch on NCAA's March Madness Live
The opening round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament game between Virginia and Wright State will be available on the Virginia Sports Network. John Freeman handles play-by-play and Jimmy Miller is the analyst. WINA 98.9 FM/1070 AM is the flagship station of Virginia sports.
