The Highlanders will play Villanova on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. Here’s the 411 on the boys from Virginia.

As you well know by now, the Villanova Wildcats are set to enter the 2018 NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed. ‘Nova earned the right to be a 1 seed after another strong effort in the 2017-18 season, and capped it off by winning the Big East Tournament this past Saturday.

‘Nova had to wait until Tuesday night to find out who they would be playing in the Round of 64. After a tussle in Dayton, the Radford Highlanders emerged victorious in the First Four. The Highlanders defeated the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds, and with the win, the Highlanders are the 16 seed the Wildcats will face Thursday night.
