After Tulsa's 22-point loss to Memphis in the American Athletic tourney, no bracketologist worth his salt had the Golden Hurricane (20-11) in the field of 68. But the folks who mattered -- namely, the NCAA selection committee -- looked at Tulsa's résumé side by side by with the résumés of fellow bubble teams South Carolina, Syracuse and Monmouth and deemed the Golden Hurricane worthy of one of the last Big Dance invites. The 11th-hour invite means Tulsa will be appropriately in an 11-seed play-in game against fellow last-second invite Michigan. Now in the Dance, Frank Haith's team will go as far in the tournament as their gifted backcourt duo of James Woodard and Shaquille Harrison. The Golden Hurricane own wins over Wichita State, Oklahoma State, UConn, Temple and SMU. Will Tulsa's prolific guards make enough big plays in the play-in game to help them justify their NCAA tournament selection and advance to face Notre Dame?
