Welcome to Tigers Untapped Episode 2. In this episode, TJ and Trey are joined by former Tiger basketball player, Will Coleman. Will, TJ and Trey break down the Tigers' performances against St. Louis University and their home opener against VCU. The Tigers are 2-1 on the season so far and after giving up an obscene 90 points against SLU came out against VCU and shut them down. Memphis beat VCU 62-47, holding VCU to a paltry 29% shooting from the field. The guys discuss how the Tigers' athleticism and defense will keep every game close, but they discussed the need for a proven third scorer behind All-American Kendric Davis and senior Deandre Williams will be vital to the Tigers winning the challenging matchups they have coming up in December. Will highlights the talents of redshirt freshman Johnathan Lawson and shares how he fully expects Johnathan to be a force for the second unit coming off the bench this year. The guys discuss the role that Johnathan should play, either as a ball dominant point guard or a catch and shoot wing player. Will makes a comparison to a former Tiger great as he describes Johnathan's game. In the final segment, Trey and TJ discuss the Memphis Tiger football team's win over the University of North Alabama, and the upcoming matchup against SMU to close out the season. The Tiger defense has developed into a formidable group over this season under first year defensive coordinator Matt Barnes, but they will go up against a potent offense in SMU led by quarterback Tanner Mordechai and star receiver Rashee Rice. TJ and Trey give their predictions on "Players of the Game" and the final score. ABOUT TIGERS UNTAPPED Tigers Untapped is a Bluff City Media podcast for Tigers fans by Tiger fans.
