March Madness 2021: How to watch Virginia vs. Ohio in the First Round
How to watch Virginia vs. Ohio in the First Round originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
No. 4 Virginia (18-6, 13-4 ACC) kicks off its NCAA Tournament on Saturday in a first-round draw with No. 13 seed Ohio (16-7, 9-5 MAC).
The Cavaliers earned an at-large bid to the Dance, despite their ACC Tournament coming to a premature close due to a positive coronavirus test. The defending national champions were the last of the 68 teams to arrive in Indianapolis as they continued to quarantine.
Question marks still linger over the number of players Virginia will have available on Saturday, but the Ohio squad lined up against the Cavs won't take pity. The MAC champions haven't met Virginia since 2003, but they lead the all-time series 2-1.
With all the uncertainty headed into this game, this matchup could prove to be a wild card.
