This is the furthest a Memphis team has every advanced in the tourney. The 1985 Tigers were upset by Villanova in the semis.

Other than Vincent Askew, who enjoyed a decade in the NBA, whatever happened to that talented team?

Keith Lee washed out of the NBA in three years due to bad knees, and it gets worse. Baskerville Holmes murdered his girlfriend then turned the gun on himself. Aaron Price was shot and killed and his murder was never solved. His potential unfulfilled due to an affinity for cocaine, William Bedford washed out of the NBA and is in federal prison in Texas.

Geoff Calkins of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal details the sad story.
