Tigers in 20 - Ep. 97: Tulsa breakdown, Nesbitt enrollment & biggest issues moving forward

In episode 97 of GT247's Tigers in 20, host and lead writer Christian Fowler and GoTigers247 digital content producer Kenny Stubblefield discuss the latest in Memphis football and basketball. To begin the episode, Fowler and Stubblefield quickly recap the news of Jordan Nesbitt and his early enrollment at Memphis. Nesbitt is already on campus taking classes, and he will be eligible to practice and play for the remainder of the season. Next, the duo recaps Memphis' one-point loss to Tulsa. Although the Tigers played well in the second half, they couldn't find a way to finish out the Golden Hurricane. Memphis finished the game with a season-high 21 turnovers, which was the biggest reason they couldn't win the game. The GT247 crew explains how and why Memphis has had trouble finishing out games all season. Memphis has played in close games all year, but they seemingly can't find a way to win in the last 5-7 minutes of a game. This has been a recurring issue for Penny Hardaway and the Tigers all season, and they will continue to struggle if they can't figure something out. Finally, Fowler and Stubblefield take a look forward to Memphis' upcoming game against Wichita State. The Shockers have been surprisingly good this season despite firing head coach Gregg Marshall and losing multiple players to the transfer portal. Wichita State currently sits at second in the American Athletic Conference as Tyson Etienne and Alterique Gilbert have led the way for the Shockers. With the way they've played this season, this will likely be another close back-and-forth game for the Tigers.
