It was a busy week in Memphis basketball-land.
With the release of the preseason AAC coaches’ poll, AAC Media Day and the Hoops For St. Jude Tip Off Classic for both the men’s and women’s teams, there is a lot to unpack.
The Tigers lost to North Carolina 84-76 on Oct. 15, while the women’s team lost to defending national champion South Carolina 106-63 in the nightcap.
On this week’s episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, host Jonah Dylan and beat writer Jason Munz react to Penny Hardaway’s squad being picked second in the preseason poll and UAB star Yaxel Lendeborg’s comments about Memphis, discuss the biggest takeaways from media day and dissect the exhibition games.
Also, you’ll hear excerpts from Munz’s exclusive interview with Hardaway from media day.
