What happens when the No. 1 high school basketball prospect in the country asks everyone on Twitter what college he should attend?

Running back Tyler Badie is a Tiger. He was probably always going to be a Tiger. It’s just that at the last moment, he changed his stripes and flipped from Memphis to Missouri.

Memphis quarterback Brady White stepped to the line in the Tigers’ win over Connecticut and quickly scanned the defense. The original play call didn’t look good so the redshirt junior checked, or called an audible, into a run play that ended in a Darrell Henderson touchdown.  

If Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway was offered a chance at $125,000 to skip a year of college and go to the G-League, he would decline.  

In the aftermath of the 31-30 loss to UCF last Saturday, Memphis quarterback Brady White went straight to the aggravating bottom line: “We should have won that game, no doubt.”

Memphis cornerback Jacobi Francis sat in the film room with head coach Mike Norvell to analyze the redshirt sophomore’s performance in his first career start against Tulane.  

When Memphis quarterback Brady White stepped to the UCF 40-yard line after a 10-second runoff late in Saturday’s game against UCF,  the redshirt junior – in a perfect scenario – would have spiked the ball with 15 seconds left on the clock.  

If Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway could look back at his career and tell himself one thing it would be to leave everything on the line against opponents.

Memphis (4-3, 1-3 American Athletic Conference) fell to No. 10 UCF (6-0, 3-0) in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The 31-30 loss marks coach Mike Norvell’s first with a losing conference record.   

When women’s basketball head coach Melissa McFerrin signed her original contract with the University of Memphis in 2008, she immediately wanted to make changes, particularly to the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.  

By the end of the first quarter, Memphis running back Darrell Henderson had rushed 12 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. Whatever the team’s fate Saturday against No. 10 UCF, there was not going to be any chance that second-guessers could point to the nation’s leading rusher not getting the ball enough.

The Tigers blew a 13-point halftime lead to No. 10 UCF at home. The Knights shut Memphis out in the second half and avoided an upset in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

Memphis (4-2, 1-2 American Athletic Conference) enters Saturday’s matchup against No. 10 UCF (5-0, 2-0) looking to prove the Knights aren’t the only ones in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium with a high-powered offense.  

In 2017, UCF had the most prolific offense in the land – leading the nation with 48.2 points per game. After that undefeated season, head coach Scott Frost was off to Nebraska. Josh Heupel, who had been offensive coordinator for the high-flying Missouri attack the previous two seasons, replaced Frost.

You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers, about Memphis vs. UCF.

The UCF  Knights might have become America’s latest college football darlings (see State, Boise, and the Jan. 1, 2007 overtime victory against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.)

Memphis forward Raynere Thornton took a pass at the 3-point line of the Laurie-Walton Family Basketball Center practice floor. A dribble later Thornton moved the ball to the opposite corner where guard David Wingett was open for a three.

When Memphis kicker Riley Patterson stepped into the team bus after the Tigers 62-55 loss to UCF in the American Athletic Conference Championship Game, he wasn’t sure what to expect.   

Just because 10th-ranked UCF is headed to town this weekend has not caused Memphis to change its focus from the normal, daily routine. Preparing for the Knights (5-0, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) involves learning from past mistakes and following a process three years in the making.

You know what is unfair to Brady White?

The University of Memphis planned – and even promoted – this Saturday’s game against No. 10 UCF as a white-out event.

UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton has the Memphis defense preparing for the extraordinary going into this Saturday’s matchup at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.  

Head coach Mike Norvell led his Memphis Tigers team onto the field Saturday night against the Connecticut Huskies wanting to “put the throttle down.” The Tigers did just that in their 55-14 win over the cross-division American Athletic Conference foe.  

Darrell Henderson took the handoff, headed left, and what happened next was pure wizardry.

The Memphis Tigers bounced back Saturday night from an uncharacteristic performance last week against the Tulane Green Wave
