Memphis Basketball: Damaria Franklin update, preseason takeaways and a look at Vandy
The regular season is finally upon us.
In less than a week, the Memphis basketball team will make the short trek to Nashville, where it will meet Vanderbilt (7 p.m., Monday, Memorial Gymnasium). Before we get there, though, there are still a few things to unpack from the Tigers' preseason showings. There are also some new details with regard to UIC transfer Damaria Franklin's pursuit of immediate eligibility.
On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, beat writer Jason Munz and columnist Mark Giannotto dive into those two subjects, before attempting to sort out the relative lack of buzz surrounding the program, then getting into what Memphis is going up against on Monday against the Commodores.
