At least MSU and UCLA only got first four.

memphis, that sucks

Lack of a Q1 win killed Memphis it seems

Agreed. Clemson/Rutgers is an incredibly fortunate 2nd round match up.

I love Huggins but that wvu team really struggles in defense. They're a 3 seed and not even a kenpom top 25 team.

They also drew SDSU as their #6 seed and they've been on an absolute tear. I thought for sure we were going to get paired with Texas.

Ugh, Memphis not even on the replacement list.

Uconn wouldn't even get looked at if they were in the aac. Conference affiliation at it's finest.

Utah state and Syracuse were the biggest shocks to me. Not sure how they avoided first four

Disappointed. Must be a 2 seed NIT. What could have been...

Memphis not even 1st 4 out? ******* stupid

When I saw 'Cuse in, I told my buddies we were out.

Glad for the Wheaties, though.

Sorry memphis...only a matter of time and you'll get the respect you deserve.

yeah and y’all got cheated imo

Dang. I really thought Memphis had done enough to be solidly on the bubble---at the very least a replacement team. At this point, I guess I should just be happy the AAC remained a multi-bid conference. On the upside---the future looks very bright for AAC basketball. Memphis, Cinci, SMU, and Wichita all appear to be on the rise and back to fielding NCAA bid worthy squads. The last piece to cement the AAC as a power league next season is for Tulsa to go ahead and hire Pitino.

By the way, I love this Aresco quote from the tournament---"I'm bullish on our prospects." He adds: "We are at a crossroads ... we have to get out of Group of Five. We don't belong there."

Curious if Oregon State and Georgetown don't steal a bid if Memphis would have been first four out.

Hey, don't be helping Tulsa any...GEEZ...

I appreciate the sentiment, but we did not meet the selection criteria. However, I believe the Tigers today would beat some of the at-large schools.

We'll know at 8:30 pm ET on ESPNU. NIT Selection Show.

If a top two 2 seed, then yes.

Agreed on both counts.

Disagree. We were 16th overall in kenpom. That's a tourney team regardless of conference

I hope Memphis schedule 5-6 ooc to beef up schedule. In a conference where only one team is a quad 1 opp you have to get most of your opportunities ooc.
