Memphis has won six of seven and is 8-3 in league play for the first time since the 2013-14 season. 

But, if the Tigers are going to have a legitimate shot at an at-large bid and get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since that same 2013-14 season, they have to beat Cincinnati at 6 p.m. Thursday. 

Only after that should Memphis start looking toward Sunday's matchup at Houston. 

Tiger basketball beat writer Jason Munz and columnist Mark Giannotto discuss that, as well as break down the win over East Carolina, talk Penny Hardaway's discovery of his best lineup and preview the Bearcats on this week's episode of the Tiger Basketball Podcast.
