Only two other states are sending as many Division I basketball programs to the Big Dance as Virginia. Virginia schools account for five teams in the NCAA Tournament’s field of 68, tied with Texas and New York for the most from a single state. The University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth, Liberty and Old Dominion all punched their tickets to the tournament. The commonwealth has not had more than three programs make the bracket since 2011, when mid-majors George Mason, Hampton, Old Dominion, Richmond and VCU all played.
