Hardaway's blunt dunk advice after Almodovar's scary fall in loss to No. 22 Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis coach Penny Hardaway had one crucial piece of advice for senior guard Luke Almodovar after slamming backward onto the court at Memorial Gym on Tuesday night. Hold onto the rim when throwing down a dunk. “You can’t let that rim go,” Hardaway said. “Just the way he jumped, a lot of momentum going forward. You got to keep the rim, fell and kind of hit the back of his head. It’s an ugly fall, but just good to see him come back out on the court.” The nasty fall Hardaway spoke about came with 10:27 left in a 105-81 loss to No. 22 Vanderbilt . Almodovar silenced the gym when he went up high and dunked only to land awkwardly on his head with such a thud that silenced the gym. He stayed prone on the court for a couple minutes before sitting up with help, then going to the locker room. Almodovar returned to the bench a few minutes later and wanted back in the game. He stayed on the bench even with a game-high 21 points by the transfer from Southeast Missouri State. Seeing how hard Almodovar landed brought back a scary memory

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.

Frerichs returns to state championship as sophomore

MEMPHIS — Henry Frerichs had to change his training regimen this year. But the Sweetwater sophomore was still able to reach the Class AA State Championship. Frerichs ran a time of 17:53.22, placing 63rd in Friday’s race at Shelby Farms in Memphis. “It means a lot. This year, coming as an individual, I think that means a little more to me,” Frerichs said. “It shows that I can do it even though I would love to go with my team. Last year was a little more enjoyable since I had my teammates with me.” Frerichs qualified as an individual this year, after being a part of the Sweetwater team in last year’s race. Two members of that race team a year ago played a role in Frerichs’ return to the state championship — Nicky Pierce, a senior who was injured this year, and 2026 graduate McCade Frye, Sweetwater’s runner who placed 11th in his senior season. “I believe he was going to go, but he got injured. It was sad to see that he did not get to come with me. I am glad to be here,” Frerich said of Pierce. “It has definitely been a struggle for me. Losing
