Memphis moved into the AP Top 25 after playing college basketball blue bloods in the Maui Invitational.The Tigers defeated-then No. 2 and two-time defending national champion Connecticut as well as perennial NCAA Tournament power Michigan State before losing to then-No. 4 Auburn.No. 16 Memphis (7-1) hosts Arkansas State on Sunday, and head coach Penny Hardaway is looking for his team to play up to its ranking regardless of the name recognition of the opponent.”If you’re in the rankings, then act like it,” Hardaway said. “Let’s stop reading the text messages about how great we are and let’s buy into what we’re trying to do every single night.”The Tigers had to battle for 40 minutes before shaking off visiting Louisiana Tech in an 81-71 victory on Wednesday.”They know that if you start letting your guard down against certain teams that don’t have a big name, that you can actually get beaten, and we can’t afford that,” Hardaway said.Louisiana Tech had lost just once before facing Memphis, and Hardaway knew the Bulldogs would be strongly motivated to face the only team on its schedule that is ranked.That game occurred in a tricky spot for the Tigers, who were playing their first game since the trip to Maui and also their first outing in seven days.”The hangover from Hawaii, to me, still stood in the way even though we knew what the game meant to them,” Hardaway said. “It needed to mean more to us and we still pulled it out. We didn’t play our best and still pulled it out.”When you have that time off, it does hurt you, especially if you’re not coming out and being aggressive from the beginning. We’re going to get better, but that rust did hurt us.”We’re not far off.”Hardaway expects Arkansas State (6-3) to present a similar challenge as a worthy opponent despite not being a big name.
