Memphis HC Ryan Silverfield did it again… this time, as 23.5 point favorites against UAB (2-4)🤦‍♂️😂 Don’t forget Silverfield is 11-17 against teams above .500 and is 3-11 against teams above .500 on the road. No Gameday. Very slim chance of CFP Playoffs + AAC title game.

Recap + Film from Memphis MBB’s private scrimmage ⬇️⬇️ - Ashton Hardaway was the most impressive tonight; led all scorers and was extremely effective in spot-ups + high post area - Zach Davis has a chance to be the best defender in the AAC; extremely impressed by what he was

Memphis is by far the more physical and connected team thus far, leading 22-11 against #14 Arkansas. Zach Davis transition three ➡️ Curtis Givens III steal + layup Ball movement + switching have been really impressive… two things that teams normally struggle with in the

To be fair, Arkansas does have roughly 3x the NIL budget for basketball that Memphis has. I think Memphis will be good and will be a tournament team. But to compete with the big dawgs you gotta be able to spend with the big dawgs. That’s just how it is these days. 💁‍♂️

One of the lone bright spots for Memphis in this exhibition game against Auburn has been Memphis G Sincere Parker (SINN). Corner three ➡️ tough up-and-under Nice to see Parker being aggressive early, especially as he didn’t shoot much last game against Arkansas.

Memphis HC Penny Hardaway on November 5th: “We finally put in our defensive packages, and we just started putting in our offense right now.” For context, most programs start installing their offense/defense systems in the summer… five months ago. Memphis plays in 4 days 🤦‍♂️

Memphis G Sincere Parker (SINN ) had a very good debut in their win over San Fran. 15 PTS 6-11 FG 6 REB 2 AST 2 STL Parker struggled at the line, but other than that, he was extremely effective all over the floor today. Looks poised to be the go-to bucket getter for

Memphis F Ashton Hardaway (Ashton Hardaway) also impressed in the road loss to Ole Miss. 16 PTS 7-11 FG 4 AST 3 REB in 24 minutes Hardaway seemed to always be in the right spot to make plays on the offensive end. He did more than his typical catch and shoot role, creating good

Memphis football now has losses to East Carolina and UAB this season. Absolutely unacceptable. HC Ryan Silverfield is quickly undoing the work of Norvell/Fuente and sending this program into irrelevancy and the fanbase into apathy — despite resource supremacy in the AAC.

Hey Ryan Silverfield, do you still think you can get the job done at Memphis? - ZERO AAC title game appearances in your SIX seasons as HC at Memphis. - 12-19 against teams above .500. 3-12 against teams above .500 on the road. cc: Ed Scott, Ph.D. Just asking for the fans who

UNLV just went on the road without three starters to beat Memphis, 92-78. This team looks like the least talented and most unorganized team Penny has ever coached. I find it hard to believe this team is an at-large NCAA tournament team. It doesn’t help that the two highest paid
