Memphis coach Penny Hardaway explained earlier this week during press availability that he thought some other coaches were "jealous" given the Memphis staff's makeup of NBA oriented coaches. Penny's quotes were picked up nationally as he responded to a tweet from former Texas (Houston) coach Tom Penders. (Listen to Penders discuss it Tuesday on 92.9 FM ESPN here). Combine the national conversation about Penny ignoring what "others say about him" and the Memphis staff, and a Memphis team that hadn't lost any games they were favored in, it's likely Wednesday night's result means the "haters" will double down.
Final: Tulsa 95 Memphis 79
