If volleyball beat Cinci they would have made the NCAA tournament . (If the ref would have made the correct call tulane would have won 15-13 not lost by 2).
Also, if the AAC has a conference tournament Tulane is playing the best ball in the AAC and would have likely made it to the NCAA’s that way BUT the conference tournament doesn’t start until next year.
So now these last 2 matches are big to secure a spot in the NIT AND Tulane would likely host.
For this program in their development this would be hugh!! It is great experience for this very young team and for recruiting any post season is a big seller.
Beat ECU!

It really is incredible what this team has done this season. Picked 10th and in the top 3. With 4 freshmen in the line up. Wow.

Now today is a scary match for Tulane coming off the emotional match vs Cinci. On the road vs ECU today and it will be a test since this team hadn’t lost a match since September.
Roll Wave to Post Season!!

Big win on the road vs ECU!
They play like a veteran team not the young team they are.
Big chance on hosting now!

Just saw online that the NIVC (NIT for VB) just announced their 7 automatic qualifiers and Tulane was one of them!
This is really great!! First time in the NIVC and first post season since 2009. Only 2 post season years in history.

There is still a very slim chance they could be offered a NCAA bid. There RPI is around 58. But will likely be part of the last 8 out. The NIVC will be a great tournament for this program. Great way to develope for NCAA runs in the next several years.

Tulane sweeps Memphis 3-0 on senior day. Their #5 ranked defense in the country held Memphis to a .000 hitting %.

25th win of the season and a record 13th AAC win. Finished on a 13-1 run. This all but locks up hosting for the NIT. Probably a couple of rpi points away from the NCAA.

25-8, winning 13 of last 14, and #5 defense in the country, and that DOESN'T make the NCAAs? That sucks.

A strong finish like that could well get them in. Have to hope there are few if any upsets in conference tournaments.
