RE: Memphis Alums are trying to qualify for The Tournament (TBT) - LINK
OK, we did not get the votes to qualify. So we need to hope for one of the 4 at large berths.

https://thetournament.com/teams?region=south&page=1

These are teams of note that did not qualify and the TBT committee will be picking from:

10th in vote: Showtime (been at multiple TBT tourneys, might be let in on experience, connections)
11th: Memphis State Alumni, 2nd highest experience rating of those not in, a likely, but not guaranteed pick
12th: JMU alumni, short drive, fan base might travel
14th: ODU alumni, see above
15th: Brothers Dat Ball, Josh Selby and the most experienced team in the South at large pool, also Wayne Chism. A likely lock
16th: UMBC alums, if they want that story.
19th: Purple and Black (KState): No Jacob Pullen this year, but an experienced, quality team.

The rest don't look that interesting or good to me. So I'm picking from above. 4 out of 7

If I'm them, I rank them (not just on quality, but on draw / story as well):

1. Brothers Dat Ball (a lock I think)
2. Showtime (a virtual lock I think)
3. Memphis State Alumni (we sweat, I'm only confident in the top 2)
4. ODU / JMU / UMBC (a story or travel pick)
--- cut line ---
5. Purple and Black (no Pullen, no votes)
6-7: the non picked ODU / JMU / UMBC pack

I feel okay about this, but not great...

Three seed. Decent Draw, if you're traveling to Richmond to watch, I'll see you there.

The Vultures have a 7' footer from Texas... who covers him?

Otherwise we got this.

Varnado has him. Having a couple non Tigers is helpful.

Team DRC might be an issue, but should be okay to Atlanta.

VcU and then Overseas Elite is a doozie.

That's good for this format. So is size that can shoot. Adonis and Spoon are very key.
