So Far So Good For Pastner, Big Test Tomorrow Night

It looks like Josh Pastner and the Memphis Tigers have picked up where the previous staff left off. The Tigers beat Jackson State on Friday night to get their first win of the season and it looks like Pastner has secured one of the top recruiting classes in the country. This class includes four of the top 50 recruits according to Rivals.com.

The Tigers have a big test Tuesday night against the top ranked Kansas Jayhawks. Yes, the same team that broke Memphis fan's and player's hearts in the NCAA championship game two years ago. The game will be broadcast nationally as part of ESPN's 24 hours of basketball Tuesday evening at 9pm.
