The NCAA men's field was announced Sunday night. 5 teams from Tennessee made the field. No other state, other than California, has more teams in the field than Tennessee. The University of Memphis is a number one seed in the South Region. Tennessee is a two seed in the East Region. Vanderbilt is a 4 seed in the Midwest. Belmont (Nashville) and Austin Peay (Clarksville) also made the field.
Both Memphis and Tennessee have excellent shots at advancing deep into the tournament and even possibly winning it all. Both have tough draws though. Memphis has Texas as its number two seed and the regional finals would be played in Houston. Tennessee is in the same region as number one overall North Carolina and if they make it that far would have to beat North Carolina in Charlotte.
We're also proud of local area teams Mississippi State and Arkansas for making the tournament. There certainly is a lot of great college basketball in and around Memphis.
Go Tigers! and Go Vols!
