After a season of tumult, the Memphis Tigers defeated Houston Saturday. You should have seen the smiles.

The NCAA is the bad guy in the James Wiseman story. But Wiseman is the one who chose to walk away. 

For the first time in 26 years, Ginge Robinson missed a Memphis home game. Her absence — Robinson died over the weekend at the age of 84 — reminded us why Memphis basketball matters.

It's ridiculous — and ungrateful — for Memphis fans to criticize Penny Hardaway in this calamitous year. 

It's crazy to say Memphis is "the biggest disappointment" of this college basketball season. But it's not at all crazy to start worrying about next year. 

It was another miserable night in a miserable season for Memphis. Sometimes, that's just the way that sports goes. 

The Memphis Grizzlies finished off the first part of the season by beating the Portland Trailblazers Wednesday night. If they continue to play that well after the All-Star break, they'll be in Los Angeles when the playoffs begin.

The next few months will be a test of Penny Hardaway. Not as head coach but as basketball CEO.

Zach Kleiman and the Grizzlies front office earn the benefit of the doubt.

Memphis suffered a crushing loss to South Florida Saturday. But it's not some big secret why this season has gone bad.

The Grizzlies aren't settling for a playoff run this time around. Be grateful they have bigger things in mind. 

The Grizzlies signed Dillon Brooks and traded a 36-year-old player who wanted no part of Memphis for a 23-year-old player who can't get here fast enough. What a difference a year makes! 

Ja Morant is a killer — on and off the court.

Dillon Brooks says he wants Andre Iguodala to be traded so he can play him "and show him what Memphis is really about."

DJ Jeffries is going to miss 4-6 weeks with a knee injury. But Memphis can still make the NCAA Tournament if they do this one thing. 

After dominating the Denver Nuggets Tuesday, the Grizzlies are just one game away from .500. No, really. Don't look so surprised.

My father died the other day. Age 99. He knew just how lucky he was. We kids were lucky, too.

The New Orleans Pelicans ruined MLK Day by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies. But Jonas Valanciunas has a brilliant plan to make it right.

If you see some of the old Memphis Grizzlies in the Tennessee Titans, that's not an accident. The offensive coordinator is native Memphian Arthur Smith. 

Ja Morant loves Murray State. Murray State loves Ja Morant. There is a hopeful lesson for Memphis in this, too. 

Upsets are a part of basketball. Especially this year. But that doesn't seem to apply to Memphis coach Penny Hardaway, whose Tigers defeated Cincinnati Thursday, and who keeps winning all the games he's supposed to win.

Ja Morant took on James Harden and the Houston Rockets on a night that helped define the new Memphis Grizzlies.

It's time that Memphians come together to support the Tennessee Titans. Because we shouldn't hoard all the joy. 

On the day James Wiseman was supposed to return from suspension, the Memphis Tigers rallied to beat South Florida by refusing to give up. 

On the same day ESPN proclaimed Memphis to be an NCAA Tournament "bubble team," the Tigers looked like one in losing to Wichita State.
