James Wiseman, Precious Achiuwa, Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Grizzlies all had a big night at the NBA draft.

John Kilzer died in March 2019. Not long ago, a striking mosaic of his likeness appeared in Overton Square.

Yes, he quit on the Memphis Tigers. But Memphis fans should be rooting for him, anyway. 

Jonathan Shuskey spent the past two decades serving his country, including four tours in Afghanistan. His path has taken him to college and a different kind of team.

When he was in the sixth grade at Presbyterian Day School, Cameron Kinley wrote an essay about what makes Navy athletes special. Now he’s showing us in real life.

You can’t blame Associated Press voters for leaving the Tigers out of the preseason poll. The program has a recent history of underachieving. This is the year to flip that around. 

It was a year ago this week that Memphians crammed on to Beale Street for “College GameDay.” When can something like that happen again? I talked to the experts. You may not like what they said. 

The Bearcats crushed Memphis, 49-10, which shouldn’t have been all that surprising. For reasons largely beyond their control, these Tigers just aren’t that good.

One Memphis family decided they wanted to really frighten people with their Halloween display this year. So it features Donald Trump. 

This time, the Tigers defeated the Temple Owls, and it was sweet for Joey Magnifico and Memphis fans everywhere.

Bill Turner dropped at the seventh green, felled by a heart attack. His friends say “he was gone.” What happened next is the best Memphis golf story of the year. 

Jaren Jackson Jr. was voting for president for the first time. 93-year-old Beverly Nash was not. But they crossed paths Wednesday at the Agricenter voting station. And it was beautiful. 

It may not have been the single greatest win in program history, but the Memphis Tigers’s 50-49 victory over UCF Saturday was as emotionally satisfying as any in recent memory. Small wonder Memphians went just a little bit crazy when it was over. 

The Tigers had every reason to quit against UCF on Saturday. Instead, they put together the biggest comeback in the history of the program. 

Joey Magnifico is moving rocks.

After 13 straight losses to UCF, it’s time for the Memphis Tigers to end that streak. 

The former king of Memphis spent the first 28 years of his life in a basketball bubble. Now he’s trying to find a real job. 

Tommy Pacello died Monday, Nov. 16. Not long ago, he talked about his diagnosis, his city, his family and his gratitude. He wanted this column as a gift for his daughters. That’s the kind of wonderful dad he was. 

Tammy DeGroff, as integral to Memphis athletics as you can get, is another casualty of the economy.

Nearly every weekend, Laura Elliott picks up a collection of rescue dogs that can’t find a home in Memphis and drives them to Illinois, where there are families waiting to adopt.

A year ago, Cameron Pryor was on a winning team. On Monday, he was killed trying to carjack an SUV. His shooting may have been ruled justified, but the path that took him to that Kroger was a civic tragedy.
