When Memphis paused its men's basketball season Feb. 10 due to COVID-19 issues within the program, coach Penny Hardaway hinted it might be a while before the Tigers could play again.

"We look forward to getting back into action when it is determined to be safe," he said. "We are absolutely committed to ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved."

Memphis' coronavirus break lasted 10 days and four games, but it ended Saturday with the team's first full practice. The Tigers will return to the court Wednesday night with an American Athletic Conference home game against Tulane.
