Coming into this season, there were whispers about Penny Hardaway’s job security.
The Tigers are 24-5 (14-2 in AAC) this season, and what stands out is their performance against power conferences.
SEC: 2-2 (Wins over Ole Miss and Missouri)
Big East: 1-0 (Win over UConn)
Big Ten: 1-0 (Win over Michigan State)
ACC: 2-0 (Wins at Clemson and Virginia)
The only nonconference loss that can be considered bad was a home loss to Arkansas State. The Red Wolves are 22-9, good for first place in the Sun Belt.
The Tigers responded with back-to-back road wins at Clemson and Virginia.
If you think this is a fluke, you’re wrong. Memphis was 8-2 against power conference foes last season.
So what is the issue?
