Questions, concerns and criticisms as Memphis basketball season opener nears

Penny Hardaway’s Memphis basketball team has turned its attention toward Missouri after a pair of trying exhibition games against North Carolina and Alabama.

While the regular season tips off at FedExForum Monday (7 p.m., ESPN+), there is still plenty to digest from a preseason that featured two 8-point losses.

On this week’s episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jonah Dylan and Jason Munz put a bow on the Tigers’ preseason exhibition games, examining the top takeaways and concerns, and breaking down the potential strengths and weaknesses. They also explain their expectations for the regular-season opener against another Tigers team that might have only won eight games last season (and gone winless in SEC play), but is expected to bounce back and afford Memphis a nice opportunity for an early-season resumé win.
