TSU will be making its 11th NCAA Tournament in program history.
The previous two seasons, TSU was selected to play in a First Four game. The Tigers won both and advanced to play a No. 1 seed before bowing out of the tournament in the first round.
Last season, TSU defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 76-67 in the First Four. Kansas rolled past the Tigers 83-56 in the first round. Coach Johnny Jones’ Tigers were hampered by injuries throughout the season, resulting in a less-than-stellar 7-11 SWAC record. The Tigers lost each of their first five games in league play as well as their final three games.
