GG Jackson said he found out that Taylor Jenkins had been fired while he was brushing his teeth.
A bunch of people called him, but his immediate response was that they “got Centel’d.”

- GG Jackson: "When I first saw D-Rose, I called him, 'Sir.' And he got mad at me."
- Anthony Edwards: “The fans was dead. I’ve never played in Memphis like this. This is my first time being in Memphis and not having the crowd into the game. So it’s kind of hard to get into it...I was surprised. They usually be amped up. I’m guessing because Ja out, probably.”
- Replying to @darrenrovellWhat's incredible here is that you were so offended by a commercial that dared to celebrate women's sports that you went back, filmed it, then tried to find a way to explain why it was unacceptable to you. At the absolute very least just be upset about it and move on.
- The announced attendance for this game was 20,197. I've seen plenty of ridiculous announced attendance numbers, but I'm sorry. We live in a society.Stadium backdrop? Very good. Attendance? Not so much.
- One Memphis player stayed out on the field longer than everyone else for early warmups. Koby Drake — the only Tiger left from the 2019 team that Mike Norvell coached.
- LeBron James says he watched GG Jackson at Peach Jam and has followed his career since then. “He’s gotten better and better every time he’s stepped out on the floor for this ball club.” Also says he tried to reclassify (like GG did) and go pro after junior year of high school.

- Brooks Monaghan on Memphis getting a 7-seed in the NCAA tournament despite being the only undefeated team in the country: “I don’t want to sit here and fuss, but I feel like we’re kind of used to, when you’re in Memphis, not always getting the benefit of the doubt on seeding.”
00:00 - Luka on Vince Williams Jr: “He was just talking s— the whole time. I told him I wish they’d let me him play one on one. That’s when I got a tech. So I don’t know — the refs gotta just let us talk. It’s part of the game. I love it. I think he’s a great defender.”
00:00 - Ryan Silverfield: “We want to continue to see that leaping Tiger, that Memphis logo, on national television, week after week after week. People talking about it in a positive light, not only this athletic department, this football program, but our great city.”
00:00 - The FedEx St. Jude Championship paused at 2:59 p.m. to honor FedEx founder Fred Smith, who passed away in June. Here’s a FedEx plane flyover, with Smith’s initials on the bottom.
00:00 - John Calipari on Memphis: "They don't need to be kind to me. And they were. And I truly appreciated it."
- Draymond Green: "I'm disappointed in Jaren, because that's my Spartan dog. He's too good to still be getting into foul trouble." "To see him get some of those fouls that he's picking up, he can't do that. His team needs him out there."
