Tulsa (16-14) lost the tiebreaker with East Carolina (14-17) and is the ninth seed for the American Athletic Conference tournament. On Thursday, the Golden Hurricane take on the Pirates, who won the No. 8 seed with that tiebreaker, in a second round game at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. But the teams couldn't be coming into the American tournament from more opposite directions. Tulsa has won its last two games, including a victory over conference champion South Florida on Sunday, while East Carolina has dropped five games in a row. Both teams will need to win the conference tourney to have a chance at an NCAA tournament bid. The Golden Hurricane last played in the Big Dance in 2016, while the Pirates haven't been a March Madness participant since 1993.
