Memphis G Quante Berry (@quante_berry ) was impressive in their win over San Fran. 17 PTS 6-8 FG (4-6 3PT) 4 REB 1 STL in just 25 MIN Berry’s shotmaking helped kill San Fran’s zone today and seemed like it came at the most crucial times for Memphis. He capitalized on open looks
Memphis G Sincere Parker (@SincereParker8 ) had a very good debut in their win over San Fran. 15 PTS 6-11 FG 6 REB 2 AST 2 STL Parker struggled at the line, but other than that, he was extremely effective all over the floor today. Looks poised to be the go-to bucket getter for

Memphis HC Penny Hardaway on November 5th: “We finally put in our defensive packages, and we just started putting in our offense right now.” For context, most programs start installing their offense/defense systems in the summer… five months ago. Memphis plays in 4 days 🤦♂️
Penny says Memphis is just now installing its offensive system. Tigers played on the fly during both exhibitions. Installed defensive packages last week.

Memphis is down 25 to Auburn at the half. 17 turnovers. 15% from 3PT. No answer for Auburn’s zone. Think I’ll be turning the game off and hitting the gym. Hope to see a few other Memphis fans in there.
Memphis is down 20 with 9:34 left in the first half to Auburn. They have 12 turnovers already. I don’t even know what to say.

WOW… Memphis F Ashton Hardaway (@ash_hardaway) with a poster dunk over an Auburn defender !! Did not know Ash had that in his bag…
One of the lone bright spots for Memphis in this exhibition game against Auburn has been Memphis G Sincere Parker (@SincereParker8). Corner three ➡️ tough up-and-under Nice to see Parker being aggressive early, especially as he didn’t shoot much last game against Arkansas.

Memphis G Dug McDaniel (@AyooFlyy) looked like one of the best players on the court in their exhibition against a loaded Arkansas team. 19 PTS 6 AST (3 TO) 3 STL 5-11 FG (3-5 3PT) 6-8 FT It looks like Penny has another gem in the backcourt. McDaniel looked extremely comfortable

Memphis G Quante Berry with an impressive and-1 to beat the halftime buzzer. Memphis up 45-42 at half over Akransas. Guard play has been impressive for Memphis for most of the half, outside of Curtis Givens III.
Memphis F Hasan Abdul-Hakim with his first points as a Tiger. As he gets healthier, he should carve out a pretty important role on this team. Very athletic and strong at the forward position. Arkansas starting to hit some shots though, cutting the lead to 38-33.

Memphis is by far the more physical and connected team thus far, leading 22-11 against #14 Arkansas. Zach Davis transition three ➡️ Curtis Givens III steal + layup Ball movement + switching have been really impressive… two things that teams normally struggle with in the

NEW: Memphis HC Penny Hardaway has offered local star 2027 6’0” G Justin Frison (@JustinF_2027), his agent Zach Lucchesi (@coachzlucchesi) of @SportsNetLLC tells me. Frison is the #1 player in the class of 2027 in the state of TN, per PrepHoops. His recruitment has really picked
NEWS: Two of the top 2027 prospects in TN — 6’0” G Justin Frison and 6’8” wing Jordan Myles — took unofficial visits to Murray State today, their agent @coachzlucchesi of @SportsNetLLC tells me. Memphis, Ole Miss, Miami OH, and UT Chattanooga have been involved with the two

Memphis HC Ryan Silverfield did it again… this time, as 23.5 point favorites against UAB (2-4)🤦♂️😂 Don’t forget Silverfield is 11-17 against teams above .500 and is 3-11 against teams above .500 on the road. No Gameday. Very slim chance of CFP Playoffs + AAC title game.
Ryan Silverfield is 8-17 against teams above .500 as head coach at Memphis and just received a contract extension. Memphis was the preseason favorite in the AAC and competing for a CFP slot. Now, they won’t even be playing in the AAC title game. Inexcusable.
