On the Bluff: Kendric Davis, Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Tigers

Welcome to On the Bluff EP 2! Join Christian and Kenny as they discuss the Memphis win over VCU in their 2022 home opener on Sunday, November 20th.

Kenny and Christian discuss the changes Penny made to the lineup and scheme coming into the VCU game after giving up ninety points to SLU. Penny changed the starting lineup and added two defensive players in Jayden Hardaway and Chandler Lawson.

They also described how Kendric Davis looked more comfortable coming off his offseason ankle injury. Kendric led the Tigers with 26 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. They also discuss senior PG Alex Lomax and his role with the Tigers. Alex has been polarizing figure during his time at Memphis, but Kenny asserts that Tiger fans need to change their view on what a successful game for Alex is. Alex’s role with the Tigers has transitioned to being a defense first, ball distributor that helps Kendric with the ball handling duties while he’s on the floor.
