After a first look at the 2023-24 Tigers in their three exhibition games in the Dominican Republic, here’s how the group’s rotation might shake out.

The Tigers officially unveiled their loaded 2023-24 non-conference slate, including at least eight Power 5 opponents.

“I’m going to focus my attention on what should be an exciting basketball season. Penny Hardaway has assembled his best roster yet, and the Tigers have both the non-conference schedule and on-court potential to make their deepest run in 15 years.”

After what Memphis experienced this past week in the Dominican Republic, the Tigers certainly hope their trip yields tangible results.

Jordan Brown led the Tigers with 23 points and 11 rebounds in their third and final exhibition game in the Dominican Republic.
