2021 NCAA BRACKET

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – VCU will dance again.
 
The Rams are headed to a second consecutive NCAA Tournament after they were selected as an at-large berth Sunday. VCU is seeded 10^th in the West Region and will take on seventh-seeded Oregon in the first round on Saturday in Indianapolis. Tip-off times and television network information will be available shortly.
 
VCU and Oregon have faced each other once previously, when the Rams topped the Ducks 77-63 in the 2014 Legends Classic at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
 
It will be the 18^th NCAA appearance in school history and the 12^th since 2004. VCU last appeared in the tournament in 2019 when they took on Central Florida in the first round. The 2020 NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Led by fourth-year Head Coach Mike Rhoades and A-10 Player of the Year Bones Hyland, the Rams (19-7) placed second in the A-10 Conference this season and reached the league’s championship game.
