Memphis Tigers Gear Up for Baha Mar Championship with Eyes on Purdue Match-Up
Penny Hardaway is excited about his new roster but is still waiting for an update on big man Dain Dainja's eligibility waiver. Without Dainja, the team lacks size in the frontcourt, with Aaron Bradshaw being the only player with significant length. Despite this, Hardaway is optimistic about the skills his big men bring to the team, emphasizing their shooting abilities and versatility on the court.
The University of Memphis has officially announced its participation in the 2025 Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, with a match-up against Purdue to kick off the tournament. The Tigers will face off against the Boilermakers, who are considered a top contender in the country, on November 20th. The tournament will also feature Texas Tech and Wake Forest on the other side of the bracket.
Overall, Hardaway is confident in the potential of his revamped roster and looks forward to the upcoming challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the team.
