4. Under Hardaway, Memphis Again Can Have Hometown Heroes - Friday, April 6, 2018

Headline from the future: “Alex Lomax Leads Memphis Tigers into the Sweet 16.”

A certainty? Of course not. But it’s a possibility because Lomax has committed to Penny Hardaway and the University of Memphis. You know, as opposed to staying with his earlier choice of Gregg Marshall and Wichita State.

5. Last Word: Moot Points in Orlando, EDGE Responds and A Mayoral Forum - Friday, March 9, 2018

The Tigers basketball post season continues to a Friday game with Tulsa the day after the Tigers beat South Florida 79-77 in the AAC tournament in Orlando. But all of this seems to have been rendered a moot point by the all-but-official exit of coach Tubby Smith with Penny Hardaway, and probably much if not all of his staff, waiting in the wings.

6. Third School’s the Charm - Friday, March 9, 2018

When Nick King signed with the University of Memphis, he had dreams of being the player he was at East High School: an impossible mismatch all over the floor.

10. Making History - Wednesday, September 6, 2017

13. Chuck Berry's Influence on Rock ‘n’ Roll Was Incalculable - Tuesday, March 21, 2017

Rock n' roll was more than a new kind of music, but a new story to tell, one for kids with transistor radios in their hands and money in their pockets, beginning to raise questions their parents never had the luxury to ask.

14. Too Big To Ignore: The SEC and Its Ever-Growing Football Media Days - Saturday, July 16, 2016

HOOVER, Ala. – The SEC football preseason always has been loud. More than 30 years ago, the noise came via the Skywriters Tour and the rattle and roar of a DC-3 propeller plane carrying rumpled, hardworking – and often hard-drinking – sports writers to the 10 Southeastern Conference campuses for essentially unfettered access to the league’s coaches and players.

15. Last Word: No Bern, Say No More and The Daily Mail Comes For A Visit - Tuesday, January 19, 2016

23. U of M Hoops Looking Less Than Stable - Friday, March 27, 2015

So Josh Pastner is transferring to Arizona State, Tom Bowen to Cal, and Nick King and Pookie Powell to points unknown.

24. Having It Both Ways: Pastner Says Tigers Don’t Get Any Breaks - Friday, March 6, 2015

Sometimes a single word says a lot. For this University of Memphis basketball season, that word might be “despite.”

As in: “Despite tonight’s loss, Memphis still holds a 12-6 series lead in the series with SMU.”

25. Nichols Out Two Weeks With Ankle Sprain - Tuesday, February 10, 2015

An MRI on Sunday confirmed that University of Memphis sophomore forward Austin Nichols sustained a moderately sprained right ankle in last Saturday’s 61-60 loss to Temple.

27. Grizz Atop Southwest Division Despite Challenges - Thursday, January 29, 2015

Playing without starting point guard Mike Conley (left wrist sprain) and swingman Tony Allen (left ankle sprain), the Grizzlies pounded the Mavericks 109-90 Tuesday night, Jan. 27, in Dallas and perhaps delivered a message to the rest of the Western Conference:

28. On Trial: Tigers Basketball Has Much to Prove - Friday, December 5, 2014

30. Tigers’ Season Starts as a Hoops Nightmare - Friday, November 21, 2014

The comments on Twitter during the Memphis Tigers’ dreadful season debut against No. 11 Wichita State were shallow, cynical and, yes, spot-on.

31. New Look - Saturday, November 15, 2014

A new season brings optimism – or marketing, if you want to be cynical about it – but also some reflective truth-telling.

Go back to this time last year for the University of Memphis basketball team. They were going to be really good, or maybe even great, because of the four senior guards. Those guards – Joe Jackson, Chris Crawford, Geron Johnson and Michael Dixon – were going to be leaders, defensive dynamos and 3-point sharpshooters.

33. Tigers Seek Consistency From Goodwin, Nichols - Friday, July 25, 2014

Last season, any basketball doctor examining the state of the Memphis Tigers would have started by taking the pulse of the backcourt.

Typically, the Tigers needed at least two of their four senior guards to be pumping out points, energy and defense or the team was going to flounder.

34. Tigers Season Ends On Common Theme - Tuesday, March 25, 2014

RALEIGH, N.C. – Senior guard Geron Johnson had guaranteed the Memphis Tigers would win two NCAA Tournament games. But in the wake of their 78-60 loss to top-seeded Virginia Sunday night in the round of 32, Johnson looked a reporter in the eye and offered a revised declaration.

The 17th-ranked Tigers came through the first 10 games of the season – the first chapter, if you will – with an 8-2 record overall and a 1-2 record against ranked opponents. They suffered a lopsided loss to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., beat the Cowboys on a neutral court, and had what NCAA bracket analysts would term a “good loss” by two points to Florida at Madison Square Garden.

Senior guard Geron Johnson: “One (free-throw) attempt a game last year, I mean that’s terrible if I’m supposed to be some tough guy.” He shot one free throw – and missed it – in 24 minutes in Stillwater.

41. Guards, Balance Key Tigers’ Tuneup - Monday, November 18, 2013

44. Overcoming Adversity Key to Tigers Season - Friday, November 8, 2013

47. New Tigers Prepare for Year-Round, 24/7 Attention - Friday, July 12, 2013

Technically, they are next season’s Tigers basketball team. Truthfully, University of Memphis basketball is never out of season.

This being the summer, talk from practice sessions at the Finch Center is mostly for the good. People are excited that coach Josh Pastner finally appears willing to really use the press. People are encouraged by the early positive reports on freshman big man Austin Nichols (Briarcrest). Tiger Nation is, well, so glad.

54. When it Comes To Cooper’s Proposed Restaurant, Questions Abound - Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Judging by his living circumstances alone, it would be difficult to argue the topless club business has been anything less than wildly profitable for Steven Craig Cooper.

Cooper, reportedly a high school dropout and later a self-made entrepreneur who built a network of successful adult entertainment clubs, splits his time between Phoenix and Memphis. The Bluff City is where he keeps a nine-room stucco home in an upscale neighborhood that currently is appraised at more than $700,000.
