Memphis has started the season strong with a couple of wins, but early victories against teams like Missouri and UNLV, while impressive, aren't enough to establish a solid tournament resume. The upcoming games against tougher opponents such as San Francisco and Connecticut are critical; winning those could significantly boost their credibility. However, they also face challenges against Arkansas State and Clemson, which, if lost, would harm their standing. Additionally, the defense hasn't shown the consistency needed to inspire confidence on a larger stage, highlighted by their struggles against teams with a higher offensive prowess. Overall, a mixed bag of opportunities and risks keeps Memphis on the outside looking in for the tournament right now.
