''The Memphis Tigers' basketball team plays in the American Athletic Conference. This conference features 12 member programs, most of which are based in the Midwest or South.'
'As head coach of the Memphis Tigers' basketball team since 2018, Penny Hardaway has completely turned the program around. When Coach Hardaway took over the Memphis Tigers, it had been four years since the team had qualified for the NCAA Tournament. In the 18 months since Penny Hardaway took over, he has helped lead the Memphis Tigers basketball team back onto the map. Today the Memphis Tigers are one of the most talked-about basketball teams in the NCAA. Hardaway had previously lived in Memphis and played on the Tigers basketball team himself. After a successful NBA career, Hardaway was honored to return home to coach the Memphis Tigers.'
'
The Memphis Tigers basketball team's biggest rivals are the
Lousiville Cardinals
and
Tennessee Volunteers
. The Memphis Tigers and Lousiville Cardinals compete at the NCAA Division I level in various sports, with basketball and football being the most competitive rivals. Since coach Hardaway has taken over, the team's longtime rivalry with the Tennessee Volunteers was also reinstated. The anticipation of awakening the six-year sleeping rivalry between these teams has been highly desired by both players and fans alike.
