  • Most underrated podcast

    You guys are the best. Love the UTSA vs. college of biblical studies bit and always love the rassling tangents even tho I don’t like rassling myself. I’m a cleveland sports fan but have adopted the Tigers as tied for most beloved team with my dear and sweet cleveland browns.

  • Very Informative

    Appreciate the podcast guys! Very informative. You guys do a great job giving unbiased opinions, stating the facts unemotionally, and giving people room to form their own opinions. Question — if you were inserted into Penny’s shoes and got to lead the program knowing what you know about the current state of the program, what are the top 5 things you would do differently in terms of practice structure, game strategy, core basketball philosophies?

  • Wrestling, Records, & a Splash of Tiger Basketball

    Very informative podcast by that exceptionally talented CA reporter and the other guy who writes for the CA. The quality of wrestling and record shop information is unparalleled on any college basketball podcast.

    The occasional snippets of Tiger basketball news keep me coming back for more.

    Keep up the work, fellas! 😋

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What we're looking for when Memphis basketball faces Mississippi State
Q: Do you expect any pushback from Fred Smith if he doesn't play this season?
Munz expects Smith to get some minutes but notes he is injured and may need several weeks before he can return. The hosts say Penny Hardaway must prioritize the current season and manage a deep roster, even if some players are unhappy about limited playing time.
What we're looking for when Memphis basketball faces Mississippi State
Q: Is Nemanja Popovic going to be eligible to play for Memphis this season?
Jason Munz expects Popovic to play for Memphis this season, but neither host knows whether he will be eligible for the Iowa State opener. They say the NCAA has not publicly explained its decision or timeline.
Memphis basketball, at 1-4, is not a pretty sight. But sit tight
Q: Do you think Memphis should stick with the same starting lineup for the next game?
I believe they should consider who is back from injury, especially Tierno Silla, but they could also choose to keep Simon Majock in the starting lineup based on his recent performance.
Memphis basketball, at 1-4, is not a pretty sight. But sit tight
Q: What do you think about Aaron Bradshaw's role and whether it needs to be reduced?
It's tough because while he has potential, consistency hasn't been there due to foul issues. Coaches have to make decisions that may involve adjusting his playing time to benefit the team as a whole.
