Memphis basketball surges in national rankings after torrid start

Memphis basketball is being rewarded for its torrid start, storming up the national rankings on Nov. 9. The Tigers (2-0) received the second-most votes out of every team outside the top 25 of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll , essentially landing at No. 27, behind Kentucky. In the Associated Press Top 25, Memphis got the most votes of all unranked programs, essentially coming in at No. 26. The Tigers missed cracking the AP Top 25 by five voting points. Nebraska is No. 25 with 101 points, while Memphis finished with 97 points. One AP voter ranked the Tigers as high as No. 10, according to collegepolltracker.com. Penny Hardaway's team did not receive a single vote in either preseason poll. Only once in program history has Memphis gone from unranked in the preseason poll to a spot in the first Top 25 of the regular season. It happened in 1987, when Memphis moved into the AP poll at No. 20 after wins over Jackson State and Washington. Penny Hardaway's team defeated Iowa State and VCU to open the 2026-27 season. It is currently the only program in the country with multiple top-60 wins. Next up is a date with No.

No. 22 Vanderbilt focusing on defense as it hosts Memphis

After watching his No. 22 Vanderbilt team win its first two games by an average margin of nearly 35 points, head coach Mark Byington finds that a good part of his focus is on his club's defense. The Commodores will play the third of six consecutive home games to open their new campaign when they face cross-state foe Memphis on Tuesday night in Nashville. The Southeastern Conference team has clamped down so far: It allowed 47 points to Bellarmine before giving up four more to Wake Forest in a 74-51 drubbing of the Atlantic Coast Conference program. "I thought our defense the first two games has been really good, and against different styles," Byington said. "Bellarmine holds the ball and we were getting shot-clock violations. (Wake's) guys were trying to go. So it's different styles, and you've got to win different ways." Vanderbilt (2-0) held Bellarmine to 37% shooting from the field, while the Demon Deacons managed just 35%. The two opponents combined were 11-for-47 (23.4%) from beyond the arc. The hope is the defensive mindset pays dividends on the road in the SEC when baskets are hard to come by. "You get to the end of the season on

Jayden Reid's emotional heroics and more takeaways from Memphis basketball's win vs. VCU

Memphis basketball star Jayden Reid has had big performances at FedExForum before. On March 7, 2025, for example, he dropped 20 points — for South Florida. But things were a lot different on Nov. 7. In his first home game as a Tigers player, Reid pounded VCU to the tune of 32 points en route to leading Memphis to a come-from-behind 89-88 victory. He scored the team’s last six points, five of which came in the final 1:19, including a pair of free throws with 5 seconds on the clock that first tied the game, then put the Tigers (2-0) ahead for good. The emotions poured out of Reid, who teared up during his postgame ESPN+ interview. Dozens of happy Memphis fans cheered him on as he walked off the court. He was still getting hugs from teammates and others when he walked out of the locker room about 15 minutes later. “You know, I prayed every day for moments like this, to be in positions like this,” Reid said. “I was just so thankful. Everybody’s story is different. My story is unique for me. God has never failed. “This is my third school and just trusting (God). Once I
