Well here we are, in the big dance! It has felt like a lifetime since Brad Brownell’s first team, which was led by the great Demontez Stitt (RIP) and Jerai Grant, pummeled Alabama-Birmingham in the First Four before running out of gas against West Virginia (after a ridiculous turnaround of travel/game time, which has since been modified for play-in winners).
The Tigers march into this game with WAC champion New Mexico State being picked by a majority of media pundits to lose.
