The Memphis basketball team's season has been interrupted twice in less than a week by its opponents' issues with COVID-19 testing. 

After beating South Florida on Dec. 29, the Tigers do not have a game scheduled until Jan. 14, when they are set to host SMU at 6 p.m. at FedExForum. 

On this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast, beat writer Jason Munz and sports columnist Mark Giannotto recap the latest developments, dissect the team's new offense, discuss how the extended layoff might affect the Tigers and get into what has to happen if they want to have a legitimate shot at an NCAA Tournament berth.
