The Virginia basketball team will not be enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with their families as they will be in Brooklyn taking on the Vanderbilt Commodores in the ESPN NIT Tip-Off. Both the Austin Peay (93-49) and Monmouth (73-53) victories were also part of this event. Vandy played Austin Peay, winning 73-54, has beaten UNC-Asheville (also part of the event), and lost to Belmont and #10 USC. The USC loss was their most recent game, and it was a home game that went into OT before the Commodores fell 93-89.
This Commodore team is led by a trio of seniors who are 1-2-3 in scoring.
