Jaren Jackson Jr. got 8 blocks as the Grizzlies defeated the Atlanta Hawks last night. The win improves Memphis’ record to 18-9 and they remain second in the Western Conference, 0.5 games behind New Orleans.
Tonight, however, our basketball attention turns to the Memphis Tigers. They hit the road to face 4 Alabama in a huge game. It’ll be on ESPN2 at 8 PM.
The Tigers just missed the top 25 in the latest AP poll. A win against Bama and they’re surely in.
