Calkins: Western Kentucky teaches Penny Hardaway a hard lesson — yet again
Western Kentucky’s Charles Bassey grabs a rebound over Memphis’ Moussa Cisse during the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Thursday, Nov. 26. As in 1993, during the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers were outworked, outsmarted and out-coached by Western Kentucky. (Photo by Dave Eggen/Inertia)

Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. He is host of "The Geoff Calkins Show" from 9-11 a.m. M-F on 92.9 FM. Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
The Memphis Tigers lost to a less talented team Thursday. Let’s hope there is a valuable lesson in that.
