The eight NCAA men’s basketball teams in Memphis for the NCAA Tournament are in action today.

After having covered every part of the Hardaway era, John Martin offers three suggestions to help Penny Hardaway get the Tigers back to the NCAA Tournament.

Young, a 6-foot-2 backup point guard, averaged 2.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 11 minutes per game for the Tigers.

Griff Aldrich, whose Lancers are in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years, is in Memphis with a story even Houston coach Kelvin Sampson loves.

The Cougars, the No. 1 seed in the South Region, have never won a NCAA title in the history of their program.

The Lancers can become just the third No. 16 seed ever to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if it wins against Houston.

The senior tossed 6.1 shutout innings against his team’s Mississippi foe March 11.

The No. 8 seed Cornhuskers have never won an NCAA Tournament game. They’ll look to change that when they play No. 9 seed Texas A&M in a first-round matchup Friday.

The NCAA Tournament attracts all types of visitors to Memphis: eight teams and a blimp.

“A lot of people didn’t think we would be here today,” said point guard Wade Taylor, who averages 18.9 points and 4.0 assists per game. “We just (want) to continue to keep working, and we want to thank God for putting us in the position.”

Mike Bibby is the uncle of Jaelen House, a 6-foot senior point guard for the New Mexico Lobos, who play Friday night at FedExForum.

Coach Brad Brownell’s Tigers lost their first game of the 2023-24 season to Memphis in mid-December at FedExForum after a hot start to the campaign. Now, they’ll begin their March Madness journey in the same building.

The No. 11 seed Lobos out of the West Region are among the trendiest double-digit seed picks to make a deep March Madness run.

Since winning the NCAA title in 2021, Baylor hasn’t made it past the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament. 

The No. 14 seed Raiders will play in their fifth NCAA Tournament in the past six seasons.

Eight teams are in town, starting a journey to what they hope will be a 2024 Final Four appearance — and maybe a national championship. Follow reports on all eight here, updated regularly after representatives from each team speak.
