Best Virginia to Face Herd That in First Round of TBT

In-state rivals set to clash in opening round of The Basketball Tournament

Best Virginia basketball is back and ready for another crack at the one million dollar cash prize tournament in the TBT. Originally, the squad was set to host a regional in Charleston, but due to complications of the coronavirus all games will be played in Columbus, Ohio at Nationwide Arena.

Last year, Best Virginia won their first round game against Seven City Royalty 79-63 before falling to Overseas Elite 80-68.
