Selection Sunday is over, and the Virginia Tech Hokies know their destination. Virginia Tech missed the Field of 68, but that was no surprise. The Hokies entered Sunday knowing they weren't even on the bubble despite winning 18 games and going 10-10 in the ACC. While Tech had some good wins, it had some difficult losses, too.
Instead, the Hokies will remain in Blacksburg this week and host the Richmond Spiders in the first round of the NIT.
The Spiders (23-9, 15-3) looked poised for an NCAA Tournament all season, finishing in a first-place tie with Loyola-Chicago in the Atlantic-10.
