By all accounts Memphis Madness was a smashing success last evening. Sure, Justin Timberlake and Drake were no shows, but Yo Gotti sang a breathtaking rendition of “Rake it Up” and something called “Blocboy JB” also performed.
Front and center at the FedExForum taking it all in was five-star center James Wiseman. Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway was going to do whatever it took to make sure Wiseman was in the building for the Tigers’ special evening.
But, there was one issue; the Tigers committed an NCAA violation. Memphis showed James Wiseman on the jumbotron, who received a standing ovation.
