With the their convincing win over Marshall in the Conference USA Championship Game, the Memphis Tigers secured yet another bid to the "Big Dance." The West region #8 seeded Tigers open up tournament play against #9 St. Louis in Columbus, OH on Friday at 5:50pm CST on TBS. It's pretty safe to say that every bar in Memphis will be carrying the game. Recommended viewing spots: Bayou, Next Door and Max's.
A couple of side notes about the tournament.
- How is Memphis only an 8 seed? Based on their season, especially the way the peaked toward the end, they should have been a 6 or 7 seed.
- C-USA added a second team to the fun this season. Southern Miss is a 9 seed in the East region. UCF and Marshall also qualified for the N.I.T.
