What Hardaway and the Tigers discovered: They can hang with the best
Tigers head coach Penny Hardaway walks off the court after falling to Gonzaga on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at the NCAA tournament in Portland, Oregon. “I hope this shows people that Memphis is back,” he said after the game. “Where we were in prominence years ago, we’re getting it back to where it needs to be.” (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
Against Gonzaga, the Tigers did not play like a team that was just 9-8 in January.
