VCU to host Princeton in first-round NIT game on Tuesday

VCU will play postseason basketball for the 17th time in 19 years.

The Rams (21-9) accepted an invitation to the NIT Sunday night and will host Princeton first round on Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at the Stuart C. Siegel Center. That game will be broadcast on ESPNU.

VCU will be making its sixth all-time appearance in the NIT and first since 2008. Led by All-Atlantic 10 First Team selection Vince Williams Jr. (Toledo, Ohio) and Second Team pick Ace Baldwin Jr. (Baltimore, Md.) VCU placed second in the A-10 with a 14-4 mark and won 20-plus games for the 13th time since 2007.

Princeton (23-6) captured the Ivy League regular season title before falling to Yale in the conference’s championship game Sunday. The Tigers are led by Ivy League Player of the Year Tosan Evbuomwan (15.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 5.0 apg).

VCU and Princeton have met once previously, an 81-70 VCU win on Nov. 29, 2016 at the Siegel Center.
