The Virginia Cavaliers will be hosting No. 3 seed Mississippi State in the 2022 National Invitation Tournament on Wednesday March 16th at 7:00PM. The game will be televised on ESPN2. The winner will face the winner of No. 2 seed North Texas vs. Texas State, sharing a bracket with top-seeded Oklahoma.
Despite being unseeded, Virginia will be the host due to construction at Mississippi State, per 247Sports’ Jacquie Franciulli.
The Cavaliers are 1-2 all-time against Mississippi State, all happening on neutral courts, but the two teams haven’t seen each other since 1988, a 86-84 loss to the Bulldogs.
