The Memphis Tigers lost to Tulane on the road yesterday, 81-79. That’s Memphis’ second bad loss in a week. The Tigers were AP number 10 and a projected 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. Predictions as to how far they’ll drop?
Some are saying Memphis will be out of the Top 25 and on the tournament bubble. I think that’s too drastic. I’m gonna guess AP number 24 and a projected 8 seed. But I do agree, the Tigers need to fix their chemistry and execution issues pronto or they will play themselves right into the NIT.
Three big dates on the Tigers’ calendar:
- Sunday, February 18 at SMU
- Sunday, February 25 vs. Florida Atlantic
- Saturday, March 9 at Florida Atlantic
These are Memphis’ remaining Quadrant 1 games and the best chances to impress the NCAA seeding committee.
