Memphis basketball believes it belongs in the NCAA Tournament.

But the Tigers also know there's still work to be done. That work continues Thursday, when Memphis travels to Dallas to face SMU and, then, returns home to host No. 1 Houston on Sunday.

On this week's edition of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, beat writer Jason Munz and columnist Mark Giannotto look ahead to those two games and discuss the implications attached to each one. They also give their respective interpretations of Memphis' wins over Wichita State and Cincinnati last week and weigh in on whether some of the players' lack of NCAA Tournament experience will hurt or could benefit the team.
