Power rating not correct on this team. They will blast Tennessee Tech out of the gym. Not only is this team gonna finish higher than their rating but this is the first regular season home game with Penny Hardaway as coach. Shit will be nuts.

[jjgold]

will keep it in mind man

good luck

[slo mo]

I’m not sure that Memphis’ roster is ready to blast opponents just yet. I will definitely keep an eye on them this evening.

[DOM_Toretto]

I will say that I’ve read there will be more fans at this game than any game last season.

Memphis is excited about Penny.

Line keeps going up......

[Tigers1230]

I’m a Memphis homer. The place will be sold out and LOUD all night. The city has been so damn excited for this season. Lots of young talent but hoping Martin and his experience will lead them. I just don’t have any idea the style of play Penny is going with, as in run and gun, but he will be going small ball with 3-4 guards at times. A lot like a Villanova team

[Heltah Skeltah]

The real question is will Penny Hardaway be on time for the game..everything out is that he been coming to practice very late and when he does eventually arrive he basically just sits on the bench wth mike Miller and other guys talking on the bench. Hardaway has always been bout himself

[Tigers1230]

Penny hasn’t busted his ass recruiting just to sit on a bench and not coach. Just don’t know how quickly they will all click together since there are a lot of new players

Actually, Tyler Harris and Alex Lomax are two top recruits that he got as well as a top kick transfer the recommitted from New Mexico

Yeah like when he took over coaching a middle school team when his friend died. Really selfish of him.

[texhooper]

From Wikipedia:

In 2011, Hardaway took over for his friend Desmond Merriweather as a coach for his middle school alma mater, Lester Middle School, while Merriweather was undergoing treatment for colon cancer. [My note: the guy died.] With a goal to have each of his players graduate from college, Hardaway instituted a mandatory tutorial program. He coached the Lester Lions to the West Tennessee State title 58–57, finishing 28–3 for the season.

Man what a piece of shit that Penny Hardaway is. Only about himself

[Tigers1230]

Guy is worth like 50mill but he wants to coach and bring his alma mater back to greatness. Terrible dude.

oh, and Lomax played for him on his AAU team so I would say that top 50 recruit is 100% his guy

[texhooper]

Well we’re at -16.5 now. Not as thrilled with that if you are still debating it, though I do expect Memphis will win by 20+

[jjgold]

Everybody’s tailling here

[Darkside Magick]

Late to the party here.... Line is off.. Should be around - 26.... Tailing

Memphis U -16.5 -105 vs Tennessee Tech

[Tigers1230]

I got it at 14 when it came out. I’m just excited it starts tonight!

[texhooper]

Push. Tiger guy won though. Second half was very sloppy. Should have easily won by 20+

[ex50warrior]

Disappointing 2nd half

[Tigers1230]

Proof of a young team. Up big at half and can’t continue the intensity for the second. Hopefully that’s a big point they focus on going forward or else it will bite them later.
