Round one is in Richmond, VA. We'll see if we can get a little Memphis rooting section there (I'm probably driving down).

Let's get them qualified!

Bump. Looking better for our guys..

Bump. At tenth. Top nine go.

Richmond regional will be on VCU's home court. Good news is that we should be on opposite sides of the bracket using the latest power rankings. We're looking at a top four seed I'm guessing (1 seed last run)

Link to vote in OP. Let's help our alums qualify for $2m!

Done. Next?

I see they are 10th, but 2 of the teams ahead of them in the South are ineligible. So, how does that play into it?

Those teams in front of us will qualify. All it means is that they haven't finalized.their rosters.

Need to be top 9.

I'm probably driving down. This is a very cool event.

Done. Now at 674 supporters and 9th place in the South.

Good job 1983.

However, we're back down to 10th. About 40 out of 9th.

1. Use my link, sign up.
2. Get your link, email / tweet your link.
3. Get paid if the Tigers win. Fans get 10% of the $2 million...

Really need to get in the top 9. They pick at large squads, but that is only four. And we get the defending champs (Overseas Elite will be the one seed and they are 19-0, having won the last three and never losing. I saw them beat Ram Nation at the regional final in Brooklyn).

This region will be tough. Here is last year's region:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basket...rlotte,_NC

1 seed Overseas Elite will be the top seed as the returning champ and they are in.

2 seed will almost assuredly be Ram Nation again (the region plays on the VCU home floor too, so they have home court). PLus Eric Maynor and Reggie Wiliams are going to run again.

Once we're looking 3-4-5 seeds, that's where we come in. Wake will get eligible. Memphis will be right there (most experienced team).

Very important to get that 3 seed, want to avoid Overseas as long as possible.

I'm assuming it looks like:

1. Overseas Elite
2. Ram Nation (VCU Alum)
3-4-5-6 pretty close
- Memphis State Alum (us)
- Wake the Nation (Wake Forrest Alum)
- Brothers Dat Ball (last year's 6 seed)
- Purple and Black (KState Alum, not set yet, but a big fan base, they can get 1,000 votes in a day).

It's a mess, really need to get that 9th voted in spot. The TBT committee picks the at large squads on quality, but also story line.

We've got story lines in our region, including the UMBC alums.

Tell your people to vote

Update, there is one week left, and we're in 10th... with 9 spots available via fan vote.

We are 69 votes out of 9th, with one week to go:

Quote:TBT website:
72 teams (18 in each region) will play for $2,000,000. Winner-take-all. The nine (9) teams with the most Supporters in each region as of June 1 @ 12p ET get in. Four (4) teams in each region will be chosen at-large.

Do we get in as an at large? Probably?

We got a week, get on this if you haven't...

I set up my account a week ago. I go to the link now but I only see the information on joining again, etc. but no icon or anything to actually vote for the team. What am I missing ? How do I actually vote ?

As of this moment, we are #11 in Region. Top 9 get auto invite. Come on folks, get you friends to go select Memphis. We need more people to pick Memphis as their team. Use twitter, use Facebook, use everything you've got!!

Who was the person here that could setup voting bots?
