Tigers Plot Unexpected Comeback After Crushing Defeat by Owls—Can They Turn the Tide?
Memphis is really struggling this season. They are a team that I fully expected to perform better and keep improving as the year’s went by. It isnt’ that the Tigers have been bad, they seem to be a fringe top-25 team most seasons, but head coach Anfernee Hardaway (better known as Penny) doesn’t seem to have the ability, or talent on the roster to get his team over the top. This season, Memphis is not even a bubble team, they won’t make the NCAA Tournament unless they turn it around. They are 9-10 for the year and are 4-3 in conference play. I suppose a win here would be a big deal, considering that they would get to 5-3 and the Owls would be 6-3. They have had some very bad stretches this season, losing four straight games to Ole Miss, UNLV, Purdue, and Wake Forest. This was a blend of home, road, and neutral sites. Then they won three straight before dropping three straight against Louisville, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State. The other three losses have come in the past five games, losing to this Florida Atlantic team on the road, and then to Tulsa and Wichita State, also on the road.
