M emphis Tiger Men’s Basketball began with a winning season (27-7-1) in 1920-21. Of course, the school was then called West Tennessee State Normal School and focused on teacher education, and the team played in the local “Scholastic League,” (1) with a schedule consisting mostly of area high schools (which were often destroyed by the college players) and the Memphis Y Rangers and UT Doctors, both of whom had the Tigers’ number

people really still dont know that a normal school wasnt college like we know it now? normal schools were considered a junior college but did not have collegiate status - they were the equivilant of todays grades 11-12 with some grade 13 thrown in as well. these werent 21 year olds playing 15 year olds - they were age equivilant. the UT Docs WERE college age
