NCAA Tournament Play-In Games: Cheering Guide for Virginia Fans

The real NCAA Tournament doesn’t start for another couple of days, but we get some teaser action this evening with two play-in games, or “First Four” games, as the NCAA likes to call them. Tonight’s two East bracket contests could potentially have an impact on Virginia — it’s unlikely, but we’re still paying attention.

Here's how Wahoo fans should be cheering tonight. Check back later this week for a cheer guide for the rest of the East bracket.

Game 1: #16 Mount St Mary vs #16 University of New Orleans
Hoo To Root For: UNO
Why: Although no 16 seed has ever beaten a #1 seed, it is bound to happen at some point.
