Watching the Tigers this season has been a frustrating experience for some Memphis fans. 

The team is 4-3 after another disappointing loss, this time to Auburn. Coach Penny Hardaway took to social media Sunday night, writing in part: "I appreciate the fans who are being patient. It is a marathon and not a sprint."

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, beat writer Jason Munz and columnist Mark Giannotto discuss how criticism of Hardaway and his team is warranted in some ways, while not in others. They also dive into the issues still plaguing the Tigers – most notably the lack of an effective point guard and a continued inability to execute consistently.
