Iowa State to play Memphis for 2026 season

Iowa State and Memphis. A tale as old as time
I guess at least we are not playing them in a neutral court game in FedEx Forum.
Would love playing an annual game here. Not that excited about Memphis though. It'd be sweet to play Nebraska, Creighton or Minnesota there.
Yeah, that's a proud program that has lust a good chunk of its luster the last couple of years.
I have to think that they will have a new coach next season. I'm pretty sure from the outside looking in that Penny is on the proverbial 'hot seat'.
Surprised we're not playing them at the Liberty Bowl with a basketball court on top of the field
I first read this as “football” and was about to lose my god damn mind.
Well Memphis was down right dreadful this year and who knows if Penny will be there. If he is, I imagine they'll have about 10 new players as they have every year through the portal under him.
To be fair, in the 8 years Penny has been there this is the first season they haven't won 20 games and haven't won at least 10 games in conference. Last year they won 29 games and both the conference regular season title and conference tournament.
Its fair to say he is on the hot seat after a really disappointing season, but it would be somewhat surprising if they fired him unless there are other things going on behind the scenes (which is always possible).
