OMAHA, Neb. – It's not the NCAA Tournament, but the University of Memphis is thoroughly enjoying its first postseason play since 2014 and hoping it eventually leads them to New York.
That's where the National Invitation Tournament plays its semifinals and final. For the Tigers to spend early April in the Big Apple playing at Madison Square Garden, they'll have to continue advancing in the NIT, which takes them to the CHI Health Center at 7:30 p.m. Friday night for a second-round matchup with Creighton.
"I'm very happy for these guys," said Tigers coach Penny Hardaway.
