Ten days ago, the Memphis Tigers were 5–0 and ranked No. 9 in the AP poll. Now, it feels as if its season is on the brink of disaster—at least, according to its head coach.
In an interview with The Athletic's Seth Davis, Hardaway was brutally honest about what he described as a "miserable" stretch in what was a once-promising season. Hardaway offered pointed criticism at the team's veteran players, who he described as being selfish and jealous of the younger players on the roster, including freshman phenom Emoni Bates.
“We’ve got so much negativity in our locker room with veterans being jealous," Hardaway said.
