The Memphis basketball team's "ceiling" is 19 wins, a third-place finish in the American Conference and no March Madness appearance, according to ESPN.
On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan share their unfiltered reactions to such a take and explain why recent history suggests Penny Hardaway and Co. could be in for a far better outcome than that.
Munz and Dylan also dive into Hardaway's recent comments about the amount of pressure on him going into the 2026-27 season, touch on the eligibility status of Nemanja Popović, and sit down with Memphis assistant coach Sean Mock.
