From Brooklyn to Philadelphia to Tampa to Salt Lake City.

No, this isn’t a connecting flight schedule at Richmond International, it’s Virginia Commonwealth University’s postseason travel itinerary.

And don’t put away the suitcase …. they may not be done.

Coach Ryan Odom’s Rams kept their season kicking March 24 with a 70-65 win at South Florida in Tampa in the NIT second round.

With the tense victory before a full house and national TV audience, VCU advanced to face Utah late Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.

If the Rams are able to defeat Utah, they would fly to Indianapolis for the NIT semifinals April 2 at famed Hinkle Fieldhouse (where the final scene of “Hoosiers” was shot).

The NIT championship will be April 4.

The road trip all started at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where VCU won three games before bowing to Duquesne in the title match.
