The Tide she’s a turnin’ but we are not talking about Alabama like you would naturally think!
The Memphis Tigers are about to fall to .500 after a 5 – 0 start to the 2021 season and the line setters seem to agree with that.
Remember? November 25th and the headlines were all about how dominant this Memphis Tigers program looks out of the gate? Yeah, December 13th, and now this Memphis team is absolute shit and floundering in its own juices in the lockerroom.
Alabama comes into FedEx Forum with a 4-game winning streak in tow as they look to build on their 8 – 1 2021 campaign.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Tide’s only loss in 2021 is to that stout Iona program run by Coach Pitino in New Rochelle… Yeah, sorry, I had to take the opportunity to mention the city I was born in because those chances only come with Iona, obviously.
Anyway, Alabama is certainly aware of the confidence factor for Memphis, or lack thereof in this case. Hey, Memphis is calling for whiteout on Tuesday at FedEx Forum so that will help the Tigers figure it all out!
Oh, stop it, LoL!
Do you think Alabama saw Gonzaga as more intimidating than Memphis? This is a program that handed the Zags their only loss of this season and they backed it up with an 83 – 82 win over Houston last time out to boot.
Jaden Shackelford has seen it all in 3 years here and he almost led this Tide program to win over UCLA in last year’s big dance. The dude has only been getting better and now he is putting up nearly 20-points a game. Jaden’s average is up 5 points from his sophomore campaign in Tuscaloosa and he has nearly doubled his rebounding production at only 6-3.
Shackelford is not asked or required to hang out inside and work the glass but he leads this team in rebounding overall. Keep in mind that the Tide are not the tallest team in Division 1 and it’s really only when you see #10 on the floor that you see more of an interior presence.
Charles Bediako is a 7-footer seeing about 19 minutes off the bench and he is just a freshman with this team. That is the difference between Alabama and Memphis.
The Tide wants to spread the wealth and have a complete team while the Tigers upperclassmen want all of the minutes with no real support from the incoming class.
Memphis Tigers
You know you read it because you read all of my previews, don’t you? Yes, someone right here has been calling for this to happen for two weeks and no one can argue with me now.
All the headlines around the web are pointing to a discontent locker room and a coach trying to put it all back together. It’s not working, and now a 4-game losing skid is the result of a team that is simply not together.
Penny Hardaway has his hands full and the more losses that mount up the closer he is to losing the entire program and the fans along with it. I personally am shocked that Penny has lost the team’s attention and maybe you don’t remember but people have been shot arguing over if Hardaway knows a damn thing about coaching, LoL
Now that is some fucked up shit so maybe I shouldn’t get all crazy talking about how I think Penny isn’t exactly cut out for the big time either. Coaching at Memphis and never wanting to leave for a bigger program is likely a result of his lack of confidence. Being content in Memphis is easy as long as no one fires you and you don’t look bad in the end game.
Penny got his team to a halftime lead against Murray State favored by 10 points last time out. You saw me right here tell you to take those 10 points and stick em where the sun doesn’t shine as we cashed the Racers easy! Hell, they won outright for God’s sake and I am still reading articles about this team’s ‘Pressure of the World’ crap surrounding it.
Penny seems to think that everyone is watching him all the time and dude? No one cares, man, just coach your team and worry about The INSIDE OF YOUR LOCKER ROOM! The more this team focuses on the outside chatter, the more the voices in your head make you start to doubt yourself… again and again and…

Free Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Memphis Tigers NCAAB Betting Prediction:
I insisted my boys that are a part of my discord channel get this Alabama -3 in before the line moves. Alabama was -3 when the lines came out and that could jump as the game gets closer to tip-off. I see the Tide rolling… wait, did I just get a chance to say that? It is already up to 3.5 and it might be 4 or more by morning.
Why yes, yes I did! ROLL TIDE!
