Tigers in 20 - Ep 105: NIT breakdown, Jalen Crutcher and spring practice

Tigers in 20: A Memphis Tigers Athletics podcast

In episode 105 of GT247's Tigers in 20, host and lead writer Christian Fowler and GoTigers247 digital content creator Kenny Stubblefield discuss the latest in Memphis football and basketball.

To begin the episode, Fowler and Stubblefield quickly recap the loss against Houston in the AAC tournament and move on to discussion revolving around Saturday's matchup against Dayton.

Penny Hardaway and the No. 1 seed Tigers will match up against the No. 4 seed Dayton Flyers, and it's a very interesting game to look at. Memphian Jalen Crutcher had an incredible season for the Flyers, and the duo breaks down how he is the most important matchup of the game.

Memphis is known for shutting down top guards on opposing teams, and they need a solid defensive performance against Crutcher. Fowler and Stubblefield also discuss other important matchups in the game, including the rebound and defensive battle.

Anthony Grant is a brilliant head coach, so he and Hardaway will likely be in a chess match of coaching on Saturday. Both coaches have shown that they are very capable of making in-game adjustments, which will likely make this an interesting coaching matchup.

Following the basketball discussion, the crew begins talking about Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield and the football team. The Tigers began spring practice on Sunday, and Fowler lets fans know where they can get the latest.

Finally, the duo discusses former receivers coach John Simon and pro day, which includes Brady White, Kenneth Gainwell and Damonte Coxie among others.
