Area basketball fans interested in seeing the No. 8 Notre Dame men’s basketball team play Virginia Tech on local television are out of luck.

WMYS-Channel 69, will not air the Notre Dame-Virginia Tech game at 7 in favor of the North Carolina State-Miami (Fla.) game that tips at 8 p.m. And after an early round of calls from the SBT, no one seems to know why.
