Basketball, St. Pat's, Random Protest Pic, Diana Ross

As expected the Memphis Tigers will be playing in the NIT after losing in the Conference USA Tournament. The Tigers will host St. John's on Wednesday night at FedEx Forum at 8pm. If they Tigers win, the second round game could be against Ole Miss (assuming the Rebels can get by Troy).

The Memphis women's basketball team will also be in post season play in the Women's Basketball Invitational. The Tigers will host Missouri-Kansas City on Thursday night at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse at 7pm.

With the NCAA tournament kicking off tonight, employers can look forward to less than productive work weeks from entry to executive level staffers Long lunches will be in order for Thursday and Friday mid-day games.

It's safe to say that most bars will have some kind of St. Patrick's Day activities tomorrow night. Your best bets for good crowds will be Celtic Crossing and Dan McGuiness. Kooky Canuck will have great specials, including $2 34oz green Bud Light.
