In episode 106 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, the duo recaps Memphis' first round win over Dayton on Saturday. The Tigers out-rebounded the Flyers 44-to-26, and they also had 15 more offensive rebounds which is one of the main reasons they came out with a win. One of the biggest matchups to watch in the game was Memphis' guards vs. star guard Jalen Crutcher, and the Tigers shut him down. Fowler and Stubblefield break down how Memphis held him to six points and 3-of-10 shooting. Next, the GT247 crew shifts the focus to Memphis' upcoming game against Boise State. The Broncos defeated SMU by one point last week, and they will present a very difficult test for the Tigers. Boise State has a ton of length on their roster, and Derrick Alston Jr. and Emmanuel Akot are both long, skilled players who can give Memphis' defense trouble. Penny Hardaway and the staff will have to come up with a very solid game plan to slow down the Broncos' high powered offense. For the year, Boise State averages 76 points per game, so Memphis will have their hands full on Thursday night. Currently, the Tigers sit at a 4.5-point favorite, so it will likely be a tightly contested game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
