Memphis Tigers a 9 seed with a date with Gonzaga waiting in round two.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops
We could see a Mark Few-Leon Rice matchup in the second round … if Boise gets past Memphis. – 6:02 PM

INJURY UPDATE: @Charlotte Hornets at OKC 3/14
Hayward (L Ankle) out
Bouknight (Neck Soreness) out

Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Houston assistant Kellen Sampson just approached the Memphis radio crew unprompted to say this:
“Memphis pushed us to a place we wouldn’t have gotten to without them. We’re both about to go on a run.” – 5:52 PM

Memphis team soon to be here to see what’s next. pic.twitter.com/vzrkHwqD38 – 5:47 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Taylor Jenkins on adjustments against OKC, who beat them last time: Transition defense, and staying in front of their guys as well — multiple players that can beat you off the bounce or the 3. Free throws were a big turning point – 5:38 PM
Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
UH played that game like a bunch of guys who were terrified of what Sampson had in store for them if they lost a third straight game to Memphis – 5:38 PM
Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
That’s it. Houston 71, Memphis 53. But for the first time since 2014, y’all can watch the Selection Sunday show with anticipation. Let’s see where this journey goes next. – 5:37 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
No surprise here, but Taylor Jenkins opts against making the Dillon Brooks return official.
He said Brooks will go through warmups first. – 5:37 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
The @UHCougarMBK win the @American_Conf tourney crown by beating Memphis 71-53. Cougars are 29-5 & will await their @MarchMadnessMBB seed & opponent w/ selection show coming up soon. – 5:37 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Taylor Jenkins thinks Ja Morant uses his body well on drives, and it’s a huge boost for offense because of his unpredictability on drives, and he thinks it makes it tough on defense as well – 5:36 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Taylor Jenkins on gameplaning for SGA: They’ve studied him a lot, and he’s hurt them a lot. He’s hoping the team is up for the challenge of stopping him – 5:36 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Dillon Brooks is going through pregame warmup and is trending in a good direction, per Taylor Jenkins. He’s done an “unbelievable” job preparing for his return. They know how important he is to the team – 5:34 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Still no update on Kenrich Williams (left knee sprain).
We’ve had clarity on every Thunder injury except that one. – 5:33 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Aaron Wiggins (flu-like symptoms) is a late scratch tonight, per Daigneault.
Tre Mann (left ankle sprain) will play.
Daigneault is withholding his starters. – 5:28 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Tre Mann will play tonight.
Aaron Wiggins is out tonight with flu like symptoms. – 5:28 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Tre Mann is available tonight, Aaron Wiggins is OUT with flu like symptoms. – 5:28 PM
Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Earl Timberlake giving Memphis a spark in the second half again. – 4:54 PM

Isn’t it excellent that Memphis didn’t have to win this to get an NCAA bid? – 4:35 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Sorry, let’s try this again. At 37-30, the Raptors became the FIFTH team to hit the over on their preseason win total (36.5), joining Cleveland, Memphis, Phoenix AND Minnesota. They still have 15 games left. – 4:34 PM

Feels like SMU win took a lot out of Memphis. Need to find legs soon.
Formula in the 2 wins over Houston was turnovers and rebounding. Houston has just 5 turnovers (compared to 19 and 20 in first 2 games) and already has 7 offensive rebounds (compared to 9 in first 2 games). – 4:19 PM

Jalen Duren makes a jumper at the buzzer to …. start the comeback? Houston 36, Memphis 24. – 4:12 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Pistons 40, Clippers 23 | 7:17, 2nd | … Clippers lost to Memphis in February by 27, which I believe was their most lopsided of the season so far. – 3:49 PM
Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Chattanooga and Tennessee won their tournaments. Memphis next? #ForThree! – 3:10 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
#Hornets are practicing in Oklahoma City in advance of tomorrow’s game against the Thunder. James Borrego said Gordon Hayward got some shots up today and is still progressing. Next step is some live action. Guessing it could come sometime during upcoming 5-game homestand. – 1:36 PM
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
27-PPG Club update… LeBron was just under in November, now he’s right in there.
This is such a great list, a few others came close but couldn’t hang on last 2-3 years of their career. Iverson came the closest: his last Memphis/Philly season dropped him from 27.1 to 26.7. pic.twitter.com/ce4S0oPj1H – 1:07 PM

Sunday night against the Grizz!
