Excerpt:

Memphis is ranked No. 17 and in the Top 25 for a third straight preseason. The Tigers embark on their farewell tour through Conference USA as the favorite to win the league again. Pastner now hopes the preseason accolades translate into surpassing two hurdles since he took over — beating a Top 25 team finally and winning an NCAA tournament game because getting there is not enough at Memphis. Fans remind Pastner of both shortcomings regularly since the Tigers 61-54 loss to St. Louis in the last NCAA tournament. The coach says he gets the fans' frustrations. Pastner also has a strong core of returning players to help Memphis deal with both issues.
