Tiger Basketball Podcast

The Memphis basketball offseason is usually a fun ride. This year is no exception. Of course, Penny Hardaway has rebuilt his entire roster from scratch - a task that takes into account the transfer of All-American guard PJ Haggerty. There is also the ongoing wait for star big man Dain Dainja's eligibility ruling and the news that Memphis missed out on hosting any of the next three AAC basketball tournaments.  But it all pales in comparison to the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement and the new era of revenue sharing being ushered in as a result.  On the latest episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan break it all down. From evaluating Hardaway's new-look roster to Dainja's situation to why Memphis might be in a class all its own with regard to the House settlement, Munz and Dylan hit those topics and more.

The Memphis basketball team's offseason began sooner than most expected.  And it began sooner than any Tiger or Tiger fan hoped it would.  But last week's March Madness loss to Colorado State means this chapter is closed and a new one has already begun.  On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan examine where things went wrong at the NCAA tournament in Seattle and how they view the abrupt ending. They also discuss the biggest "what ifs" of the Penny Hardaway era, where Hardaway and the Tigers go from here, and what the future holds for PJ Haggerty.

The Memphis Tigers are facing the Colorado State Rams Friday in March Madness. Both teams are very good. Both teams are very hot. Both teams have superstar-level talent. Both teams won their conference tournaments. Both teams are well coached. Memphis is a 5-seed, while Colorado State is a 12-seed. But it's the Rams who are favored to win. And it's the Rams that so many are predicting will win.  On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan explain why that is -- and why it's ridiculous. Also, Munz and Dylan dissect the AAC tournament championship and hit on many other topics.

PJ Haggerty went off Friday at the AAC tournament.  Memphis' All-American guard dropped 42 points against Wichita State and the Tigers advanced to the semifinals of the AAC tournament.  From Fort Worth (deep inside the bowels of Dickies Arena) Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan react to Haggerty's performance, update Dain Dainja's shoulder situation and look ahead to Saturday's semifinal game versus Tulane.

March Madness is upon us. Sure, the Tigers still have their regular-season finale on Friday against South Florida. But, with the AAC tournament up next and the NCAA tournament after that, Memphis is ready for the Madness. On this week's Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan break down the week that was for Memphis, as it defeated UAB and UTSA. Munz and Dylan also highlight the seniors on the team who will be playing their final games at FedExForum in Memphis uniforms, look ahead to the AAC tournament, wonder whether the Tigers will be one of the most dangerous teams in the field of 68, and examine the different eras within the Penny Hardaway era.
