Without Lipsey and Toure in the lineup, Iowa State is NOT a Top 25 team.

A silver lining here:

Memphis played what will almost certainly be its worst game all year and still nearly lucked into a win anyway.

Conference title appearance is still very much on the table if the Tigers can take care of business moving forward.

The Grizzlies have three preseason games under their belts. And I’ve noticed a few things…

1) GG has ARRIVED 🏆
2) T Henny has leveled up💪🏻
3) No point guard? No problem 🎯

Oh… and Cam Boozer is good at basketball. If you weren’t aware 🤷🏼

Memphis is 5-1. Six games left. And the College Football Playoff dream is still alive. 👀🐯

The Tigers are +1300 to make the CFP, but the road runs through the AAC championship game for them — and there’s ZERO margin for error.

What has to happen for Memphis to make a run? I break down every remaining game, the path to the CFP, and what the Tigers need from the rest of the Group of Six.
