With NCAA Tournament berth hanging in the balance, SMU to take on AAC’s sleeping giant Memphis | JoeJHoyt
SMU head coach Tim Jankovich, left, and members of his staff look on at play in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Houston in Dallas, Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022.In terms of analyzing his Sunday opponent, SMU head coach Tim Jankovich went ahead and acted as an American Athletic Conference spokesman.
There was no doubt or lack of confidence in Jankovich’s take on Monday, which is an impressive hat tip to Memphis, considering the conference also hosts No. 14 Houston, a reigning Final Four participant. It’s also a little nerve-rattling if you’re an SMU fan, because Jankovich is saying this without the full, firsthand experience.
After the loss to SMU, Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway was asked if he’d “lost faith” that he could “get this thing done” at Memphis, and if his team’s first-half performance was “embarrassing.” Hardaway responded with an expletive-laden, frustrated rant centered around one point. Memphis also hasn’t lost a game since the loss to SMU, including back-to-back road wins over Houston and Cincinnati. In the last five games, the Tigers are out-rebounding their opponents by 7.8 boards per game and holding their opponents to 33.9% shooting from the field.
