You're just trying to stir shite up. 
Much as I hate to say it, Tennessee will most likely win Saturday. Wiseman's out as is Lester Quinones.

Depends on how you look at it
UT leads the series
Memphis has more post season success
Memphis is currently ranked higher (current polls are meaningless btw)
UT will most likely win Saturday

Memphis is the better name but Tennessee ought to be the better program. UT has underachieved over the years and UM has overachieved.

Memphis I guess, even though they’ve had to vacate more shite than any other college basketball team I’m aware of. Their Wikipedia page is hilariously full of asterisks

Memphis ... hands down.

Memphis as long as Penny's at the helm and the players continue to make bail before tip off.

All Time: Memphis
As far as which program is easier to win at now, I think it is essentially a wash. You can win big at both schools in the modern era.
Here are numbers since 2000 which is really when VOLS basketball woke up from a couple decades of total incompetence. This also includes both schools greatest long term sustained runs which essentially happened simultaneously
Head to Head: 6-6
Final Fours: Memphis 1, Tennessee 0
Elite 8s: Memphis 3, Tennessee 1
Sweet 16s: Tennessee 6, Memphis 4
Tournament Appearances: Tennessee 11, Memphis 10
Weeks Ranked: Tennessee 140, Memphis 137
Weeks Ranked #1: Tennessee 5, Memphis 5
All Americans: Tennessee 2, Memphis 2

Memphis is so historically dirty I've got to get to Tennessee. Let's not kid ourselves, Penny's over there slangin bills right now.

In all seriousness, I'd say Memphis.
NCAA Tournament Appearances:
22- Tennessee
20- Memphis
Sweet 16 Appearances:
8- Tennessee
6- Memphis
Elite 8 Appearances:
1- Tennessee
4- Memphis
Final Four Appearances:
1- Memphis
0- Tennessee
NCAA Runner-Up
1- Memphis
0- Tennessee
Memphis has been to a Final 4 and has 3 more Elite 8 appearances.... I'd take that over two extra trips to the NCAA Tournament and/or Sweet 16.

UT fans trying to say they are the better program, are the same as the couple Bama fans trying to say they are better historically than LSU in baseball and basketball.

I know who the better team is gonna be Saturday
Posted on 12/12/19 at 8:37 am to pioneerbasketball
Tough call, but I'd pick Memphis because they're better during tourney time

Better program all together? Tennessee hands down.
Hotter program for now? Memphis.
Pio, you should know better.
