Memphis is one of four sites the AAC is considering for next year's men's basketball tournament, AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti said Sunday.

While Memphis was a lock to make the NCAA tournament even before tipping off in the American Athletic Conference Tournament championship game, coach Penny Hardaway and the 16th-ranked Tigers got another trophy on the way to Seattle.

FORT WORTH, Texas — For the second time in as many weeks, Memphis basketball is lifting a trophy. The Tigers beat UAB 84-72 on Sunday afternoon at Dickies Arena, winning the AAC tournament title and denying the Blazers a spot in the NCAA tournament in the process.
