Memphis 84-72 Final Congrats to the Tigers

Memphis would make sense as would Birmingham. And hello New Orleans! This should be a slam dunk in beignet town. Las Vegas is for all the western based conferences. I don’t get it. Thank you Fort Worth time for a change. Why not San Antonio? GMG

I told some Memphis fans on the way out yesterday, “you’ll win by 10 or more tomorrow.” UAB is athletic and long, but they’re not quality

The Boise bracket would be tough. Just win one game at a time! GMG p.s. - it’s funny because the tournament becoming the SEC invitational is not the best thing for it. They are a deserving conference but 13 or 14 teams if Texas sneaks in begins the demise. Power to the leftover tournaments. There will be serious interest elsewhere which is exactly what they don’t want. Let’s see how these brackets play out. GMG

(from the Memphis paper) FORT WORTH, Texas — Memphis is one of four sites the AAC is considering for the 2026 men's basketball conference tournament, AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti said Sunday. Memphis is one of at least five sites that bid for the tournament. The other three are Wichita, Birmingham and Tampa. Those three sites bid for both the men's and women's tournament, but Memphis only bid for the men's tournament, Pernetti said. Jacksonville also put in a bid, but Pernetti said the conference is "focused on" the four other bids.
