NIT Tournament: ‘Noles face Valparaiso in Second Round

FSU basketball will be playing in the second round of the NIT tournament for the first time since 2014 after defeating Davidson on Tuesday night to earn their 20th win of the season.

They’ll be taking on the Valparaiso Crusaders from the Horizon League who went (26-6, 16-2) on the season and defeated No. 8 seeded Texas Southern on Tuesday night.

The ‘Noles will have to travel to Indiana where the Crusaders have only lost one home game all season (Wright State by two points).

Valparaiso is one of the best rebounding teams in the country at 42.
