An early progress report and reactions to the AAC's preseason poll

Coming off back-to-back home wins, and having won five of its last six games, Penny Hardaway recently declared his Memphis basketball team has finally turned a corner. 

Can we trust him? Is it safe to even entertain the thought that the Tigers may, in fact, be "back" after they responded to a disappointing loss at FAU by beating Temple and UTSA in wildly different fashions? 

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan unpack that whole scenario during a segment dedicated to fielding listener-submitted questions. In addition, they discuss the strange and unusual portion of ESPN2's broadcast of the Memphis-UTSA game that featured Maroon 5 and Michael Buble'. Munz and Dylan also tackle some Tiger football topics and look ahead to the basketball team's next few games, which are setting up to be pivotal.

Are the Tigers 'back' and is ESPN the new MTV? 

Memphis basketball was knocked off its perch, tied atop the American Conference standings, in deflating fashion Jan. 11.

That's when the Tigers were beaten handily by FAU, sending some fans' emotions into a tailspin. Not necessarily because the team lost one game. But largely because the same issues that plagued the team in ugly losses to UNLV and Louisville reared their head again. 

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan discuss whether coach Penny Hardaway has any more buttons left to push to turn Memphis' season around (and wonder whether or not part of the problem is the amount of button-pushing that's already taken place). Also, Munz and Dylan dissect and analyze the loss to FAU, then look ahead to the Tigers' home game against Temple.

Are there any buttons left for Penny Hardaway to push with these Tigers?

The Tigers are 2-0 in American Conference play, which is good enough for a first-place tie with Tulane and Temple. 

It's an encouraging start for Penny Hardaway's team, especially considering how shaky some other teams' starts were. But how much does the next nine weeks matter in the grand scheme of things for the Tigers, all things considered? 

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan sift through the many layers of that topic. In addition, they reveal their primary takeaways from the team's win at Rice, answer some listener-submitted (some football transfer portal-related) questions, preview the upcoming game against FAU, and celebrate the return of the Tiger Basketball Insider text group.
