2025 Tournament PreviewCoach Penny Hardaway struck gold in the transfer portal this season, picking up one of the country's best scorers in PJ Haggerty (21.8 ppg), an elite big man in 6-9 Dain Dainja (14.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg), a double-digit scorer in Colby Rogers (10.8 ppg) and an experienced point guard in Tyrese Hunter (13.7 ppg, 3.6 apg), though the latter missed the AAC tournament final with a foot injury. The result is an offense that plays fast (28th in tempo, per KenPom) and can close gaps quickly with a top-20 three-point percentage. On the other hand, the Tigers are prone to turnovers (308th) and struggle from the foul line (244th), which is partly why their offense ranks just 71st in KenPom's efficiency metric. But Memphis has shown it can hang with anyone, collecting impressive wins over Michigan State, UConn, Clemson, Ole Miss and Missouri, in addition to winning the AAC regular-season and tournament titles. Predictive metrics don't love Memphis, but the results say Hardaway has the firepower to win a few.
