Tigers look to beat ‘the king’ this week
Is this the biggest game of Silverfield era?
“They were picked to finish first, and we weren’t,” Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said. “And the only way you could ever get to that is by beating the king, and that’s what they are right now. … Our guys understand what Tulane is capable of but also what we are as well.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said the only way to reach the top of the conference is to beat the team that’s already there. That would be the preseason favorite Tulane, whom the Tigers face on Friday.
