Hardaway: Memphis win over UConn biggest of his career
“I’m not taking any of this for granted, because I know how hard it is to win, and especially beat a team like that,” Memphis Tigers head basketall coach Penny Hardaway said. “But I’m so excited for our university and our city more so than anything, because we need more positivity. We need more of this.” (Lindsey Wasson/AP)
Penny Hardaway’s Tigers were again among the biggest stories in college basketball on Monday morning in Hawaii. And, for the first time in at least 11 months, it wasn’t because of any scandal or drama or firings or controversy of any sort.
