The 24th-ranked Memphis Tigers, coached by NBA legend Penny Hardaway, blew out American Athletic Conference foe UAB 100-77 on Sunday.
Penny Hardaway knows he sounds like a broken record, repeatedly vowing that his Memphis basketball team will soon stop committing so many turnovers.
Penny Hardaway has made a change to the Memphis basketball starting lineup for the UAB game. For the first time in 16 games, Dain Dainja will get the starting nod of Moussa Cisse at center Sunday (noon, ESPN2), Hardaway said during a pregame radio interview with play-by-play man Dave Woloshin.
Bracketville's Dave Ommen has Memphis in his latest bracket as a 5-seed against McNeese State in Denver. Meanwhile, On3's James Fletcher III has the Tigers slotted as a 6-seed versus facing either North Carolina or BYU in Providence.
The four-time NBA All-Star is complimentary of Aaron Fearne’s program after it prevented the nationally ranked Tigers from pulling away late.
Hardaway has a long-held, deep-seated belief that Memphis does not get the same benefit of the doubt that many other programs around the country do. The Tigers still have one of the more decorated March Madness resumès in the nation, with five Quad 1 wins, a 9-3 record in Quads 1 and 2, and just one loss outside the first two quadrants.
