About the episode
In episode 95 of GT247's Tigers in 20, host and lead writer Christian Fowler and GT247 digital content producer Kenny Stubblefield discuss the latest in Memphis football and basketball. Memphis coach Penny Hardaway and the Tigers got a massive one-point victory over South Florida earlier this week, and Fowler and Stubblefield break down the positives and the negatives from the conference win. As far as positives go, the duo breaks down performances from Alex Lomax, Lester Quinones and DeAndre Williams. Lomax has been bad for the majority of the season, but he was the biggest reason Memphis escaped with a victory. Lomax was a massive presence on the defensive end of the floor, and Quinones and Williams combined for 19 points in the second half alone. The duo explains why these three players were so important and how important their energy and effort were during the game. Another positive Fowler and Stubblefield took away from the game was Hardaway's decision to shorten the rotation late in the game. Instead of trying to play nine or 10 players, Hardaway only allowed seven players to touch the floor late in the game, which is another major reason the Tigers won the game. Next, they begin discussing the negatives from the game, which center around the player of Landers Nolley and DJ Jeffries. Nolley hasn't been great offensively over the past several games, and he was nonexistent down the stretch against the Bulls. Jeffries has also struggled over the past two games offensively, and the duo explains why they believe he hasn't been as effective on offense. Finally, the GT247 crew gives their full synopsis from the 2020-2021 football season. Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield and the Tigers finished the year with an 8-3 record, and Memphis got their first bowl victory since the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl against BYU. Fowler gives grades for Silverfield's first year as a head coach, the outlook for next season and more.
