Why this Memphis basketball team is not at all like last season's Tigers

Update: 2024-12-03

Description

Memphis is riding high after another fast start.

The Tigers are 6-1 and ranked No. 15 in this week's USA TODAY Coaches Poll - their only loss to No. 2 Auburn.

Who can forget how things played out last season, when Memphis fell apart down the stretch after becoming a top-10 team in January? On this week's episode, Jason Munz and Jonah Dylan explain why this season will not at all suffer the same fate as the Tigers did last season.
