The Virginia Tech Hokies open the Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Thursday, November 20th against fairfield (MAAC) on ESPNU, the channel U never watch and no one gets. This should’be an easy win for the Hokies and take them to a semi-final match-up against the winner of xavier vs. missouri on Friday. The championship game is on Sunday (Saturday is an off-day so you can enjoy VT smash duke in football).
The other side of the bracket includes ut-chattanooga, NCAA Tourney runner-up memphis, seton hall, and usc (the trojan-usc, not the cock-usc).
Here is the full bracket.

I have a solution that can help ESPN make money. If they don’t offer ESPN-U in certain cable markets, they should put those games on ESPN Game Plan… it’s not the best situation for the cable comany (generally, Comcast), but they can at least make money on pay-per-view events. I would buy ESPN Game Plan just so I could see my Hokies play.
