Virginia Tech women’s basketball is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. As a result, the Hokies got to host the First and Second Rounds.

Unlike the men’s game, the top 16 seeds host the first weekend of the women’s NCAA Tournament.

You know what they say: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
And it looks like Tyler Hansbrough made a new friend.
Just after the Tennessee Volunteers took down the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament Saturday, Hansbrough tweeted his support for Big Orange.
“I will give my all for Tennessee today.”

As a former North Carolina Tar Heel, Hansbrough’s hatred for Duke runs deep.
Geographically, the schools are 10 minutes apart.

The Philadelphia center continued his incredible performance Saturday.
Sixers center Joel Embiid is in the midst of the best season of his esteemed career, averaging a league-leading 33.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. It is the second consecutive year he is the league-leader in scoring average and the sixth straight season that he is averaging a double-double.
His consistent 30-point scoring has peaked in March. Embiid scored 31 points Saturday against the Pacers, marking the seventh straight game in which he scored over 30 points on at least 55% shooting.
