LAST YEAR’S MEETING

Memphis 80 • Rice 68 Jan. 16, 2010 • Houston, Texas

Memphis set the all-time NCAA mark for consecutive conference regular-season victories with an 8068 win over Rice. The 52-straight league wins moves the Tigers past Kentucky’s previous mark of 51-consecutive conference victories from 1950-54.

Memphis also tied the all-time NCAA mark for consecutive overall conference wins, which includes both regular season and tournament victories, with 64 wins. The mark ties Kentucky’s streak from 1945-50.

Elliot Williams, who came up one short of his career high with 32 points, led the Tigers. R oburt Sallie put up an impressive 12 second-half points to help pace the Tigers after the break. The junior guard also scrapped for six rebounds. Sallie hit a career-high six free throws in the second half.

Wesley Witherspoon, who suffered an injury early in the first half, came back to tie Pierre HendersonNiles for the team lead in rebounds with seven. Witherspoon tied a career high with four blocks against the Owls. Willie Kemp chipped in with 11 points, including three treys.

Rice was led by Trey Stanton’s 18 points and seven rebounds. Stanton came into the game averaging just 8.3 points and 3.9 rebounds. Arsalan Kazemi recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Tigers went into the locker room at the half with a 39-29 lead over the Owls. Williams led the way for the Tigers in the first half with 14 points. The soph-

omore guard tallied 10 of Memphis’ first 14 points in the game.

Memphis led by as many 13 points at the start of the second half before Rice rallied with a 13-4 run from the 17:33 mark to the 13:21 mark and pulled to within four points at 51-47.

The Tigers then went on a 18-9 run from the 13:21 mark to the 5:50 mark to extend their lead back to 13 points and put the contest out of reach.

MOST WINS FIRST TWO YEARS Of course, head coach Josh Pastner will pass on credit to the current players, former players, current assistant coaches, former head coaches and, yes, even Tiger Nation. But, what’s on the horizon is that Pastner is close to becoming the winningest head coach in Tiger hoops history for the first two years.

The following shows the head coaches’ win totals for the first two seasons since World War II:

Last year, Pastner brought his Tigers to Houston twice and split the meetings with Rice (80-68 win) and Houston (92-75 loss).

First 2 Years Wins Total 2000-01, 2001-02 48 1986-87, 1987-88 46 2009-10, 2010-11 44 1974-75, 1975-76 41 1970-71, 1971-72 39 1956-57, 1957-58 39 1951-52, 1952-53 35 1962-63, 1963-64 33 1997-98, 1998-99 30 1979-80, 1980-81 26 1966-67, 1967-68 25 1948-49, 1949-50 23

PASTNER VERSUS BRAUN Yes, Saturday’s game is the only the second meeting of Josh Pastner and Ben Braun as head coaches, but the two have a history in their days in the Pac-10 Conference. Braun served as the California Bears’ head coach from 1996-2008, and during that same time, Pastner was an Arizona Wildcat (first as a player, then staff member and assistant coach).

In those 12 years in Pac-10 play, Braun’s Bears and Pastner’s Wildcats met a total of 26 times, and Arizona won 22 of those encounters (22-4 record).

In Pastner’s time as an assistant coach at Arizona (2002-03 to 2007-08), the Wildcats were 11-2 against Braun and his California squads.

Ironically, Braun’s first victory over Arizona in the 1996-97 season (79-77) was the Wildcats’ final setback of that campaign. After that loss to California, the Wildcats won six-straight NCAA Tournament games to claim the national title.

A HOMECOMING FOR COACH PASTNER For the first and only time in the 2010-11 regular season, head coach Josh Pastner returns to his hometown area. Pastner is a Kingwood, Texas, native, and Kingwood is a suburb of Houston. In fact, Pastner grew up fewer than 25 miles from the Rice University campus.

Pastner, who attended Kingwood High School, coached the Houston Hoops summer ball team during his high school and collegiate (Arizona) days.

WILSON RETURNS TO ALMA MATER There will be a little emotion on the Tigers’ bench when Memphis plays at Rice Saturday. Tiger assistant coach Willis Wilson makes his second return trip to his alma mater where he also served as an assistant coach and head coach for the Owl program.

Wilson was a four-year letterwinner for the Owls from 1978-82 and served as the team’s cocaptain his senior campaign. He served two stints as an assistant coach from 1985-86 and 1987-91, and

TIGER STAFF VERSUS ALMA MATERS For the final time in the 2010-11 regular season, a member of the Memphis hoops staff is facing his alma mater. On Saturday, Tigers’ assistant coach Willis Wilson is pitted against Rice, where he graduated from in 1982.

Wilson was a four-year letterwinner for the Owls from 1978-82 and served as the team’s cocaptain his senior campaign.

The Memphis basketball staffers have a 6-2 record against their alma maters (2009-10, 2010-11 seasons), and the following shows that: Staffer/Pos. Alma Mater Result/Year Sebastian/Ops SMU, 1994 58-64, L/2010-11 76-63, W/2009-10 60-70, L/2009-10 Wilson/Asst.

FAMILIAR FACES NOW FOES When Memphis assistant coach Willis Wilson looks to the other bench on Saturday, he will see four familiar faces — former players that he coached in his final season as the Owls’ head coach in 2007-08.

The four Rice players are seniors Bryan Beasley, Suleiman Braimoh, Cory Pflieger and Trey Stanton.

ANOTHER HOMECOMING? Well, not to the city of Houston, but back home to the state of Texas for this Tiger. Freshman D.J. Stephens is from Killeen, Texas, which is just under 200 miles northwest of Houston. Stephens is the lone Tiger player from the state of Texas.

HOUSTON MEMORIES No matter the outcome of Saturday’s game or future encounters Memphis plays in Space City USA, the city of Houston will always hold a special place in the hearts of Tiger Nation. That fondness for Houston comes from the 2008 NCAA Tournament when the Tigers won the South Region at Reliant Stadium.

Memphis started its run to the NCAA title game in Little Rock, Ark., with the tournament’s first two rounds. Then, the Tigers moved on to Houston, where they defeated Michigan State and Texas en route to the Final Four.

MORE HOUSTON MEMORIES Last year’s trip to Rice provided more great memories for Tigers fans, as the 80-68 win over the Owls put Memphis in the NCAA record books.

The victory gave the Tigers the NCAA Division I record for the most-consecutive regular season wins in league play at 52 straight. The victory also tied the NCAA Division I mark for most-consecutive overall league wins (including postseason tournament) at 64 straight. Memphis shares that record with Kentucky.

NO SATURDAY HOME LOVE FOR TIGERS THIS MONTH February is the month for love with Valentine’s Day, but Memphis received none from the schedulemaker when looking at the Tigers’ weekend home schedule this month. Memphis plays three of the four weekends in February on the road with games at Gonzaga Feb. 5, Rice Feb. 19 and UTEP Feb. 26.

The Tigers’ only Saturday home contest was last Saturday (Feb. 12) versus Southern Miss.

CLOSE CALLS UNDER PASTNER The Tigers played another nail-biter in their 62-58 Conference USA win over UAB Feb. 16, but Memphis fans should be familiar with close-call contests. In just under two years in head coach Josh Pastner’s tenure, the Tigers have played 28 singledigit outcome games, and have a 20-8 record (.714 winning percentage) in those contests.

In games decided by four or fewer points, Memphis is 11-3, winning 11 of its last 12. This season, the Tigers have a 13-2 record in single-digit outcome games.

SINGLE-DIGIT WIN HISTORY Tiger Nation is enjoying the wins this season, but the victories by single-digit margins are causing most fans to remain on the edge of their seats. Memphis has played 15 single-digit outcome games this year and has a 13-2 record in those contests.

However, the 15 single-digit outcome games so far in 2010-11 are not even in the top-10 for most games of its kind since the 1970-71 season. The following lists the top-10 years with single-digit outcome games and the top-10 years with single-digit wins (since 1970-71): Top-10 Since 1970-71 Most Single-Digit Most Single-Digit Outcome Games Wins 1. 20 (1986-87)^ 1. 14 (1984-85)@ 2. 19 (2000-01) 2. 13 (2010-11) t. 19 (1996-97) t. 13 (1986-87)^ t. 19 (1992-93)# t. 13 (1977-78) t. 19 (1990-91) 5. 12 (1994-95)# t. 19 (1977-78) t. 12 (1992-93)# 7. 18 (1991-92)# t. 12 (1991-92)# t. 18 (1987-88)# 8. 11 (7 seasons) .t. 18 (1984-85)@ . .

Since Conference USA realigned in 2005-06, Memphis has made two trips to the Owls’ on-campus facility and won both meetings by an average margin of 8.5 points (84-79 in 2005-06; 80-68 in 2009-10).

This season, the Owls have played C-USA foes especially tough at home. Rice is 1-4 in league home games, but its four setbacks were by an average margin of 5.0 points.

THREES NOT A FALLIN’ SATURDAY Three-pointers may be hard to come by in Saturday’s Memphis-Rice Conference USA match-up in Houston. The Tigers (11th; 33.7 percent) and Owls (12th; 32.4 percent) are at the bottom of Conference USA in three-point field goal percentage. In three-pointers made per game, Memphis is sixth in C-USA (6.3) and Rice is 12th (5.2).

NEW C-USA SCHEDULE FORMAT IN 2010-11 Well, the league’s schedule-maker likes a little tweaking after five years, so the 2010-11 Conference USA slate takes on a different look with divisional play without separating into divisions.

What remains the same in C-USA are the one division standings and the 16-game league schedule for all teams. However, the change comes in who plays who.

This season, C-USA basketball plays a schedule based on divisions similar to the set-up in football.

Teams in the East (East Carolina, Marshall, Memphis, Southern Miss, UAB, UCF) and West (Houston, Rice, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UTEP) play each other twice. The teams cross over and play squads in the other division once.

Conference USA regular season standings with a 13-3 league mark. The 13 C-USA wins were tied for the fourth-most for a season in school history, only trailing the three 16-win campaigns (16-0 record) in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. The 2009-10 team’s 13 C-USA wins tied the 2002-03 (13-3 record) and 2005-06 (13-1) squads for the fourth-most league victories in a campaign.

Memphis won its first outright C-USA regular season title in 2005-06, and followed that with outright regular season crowns in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. Memphis also tied for the C-USA regular season crown in 2003-04 (12-4 record) and 1995-96 (11-3).

Memphis also won three National Division titles in 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2002-03, and captured

MEMPHIS IN CONFERENCE USA The Tigers have an all-time record of 185-60 (.755 winning percentage) in Conference USA play.

Memphis posted double-digit league wins in 12 of its previous 15 seasons in Conference USA, including a school-record and league-record tying 16 games in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09.

month of January (78-20; .796 winning percentage) since 1999-2000, February hasn’t been too bad either over that same period of time. Since 1999-2000, Memphis has a 68-19 record (.782 winning percentage) in February.

Last year, the Tigers posted a 6-2 record in February. Memphis has won 39 of its last 43 games (.907 winning percentage) in the month of February, with the four setbacks to No. 2/2 Tennessee 66-62 on Feb. 23, 2008, No. 17/13 Gonzaga 66-58 on Feb. 6, 2010, Houston 92-75 on Feb. 24, 2010, and Tulsa 68-65 on Feb. 2, 2011.

difference when Memphis shares and doesn’t share the ball:

TIGERS’ TRIFECTA DEFENSE While the Tigers are fifth in Conference USA in three-point field percentage at 31.8 percent, Memphis has picked up its “game” in defending the arc the last 10 contests. In the games since Jan. 15 (Marshall twice, Southern Miss twice, UAB twice, UCF twice, Tulsa, Gonzaga), the Tigers have held opponents to 24.9 percent shooting (46-of-185) from the arc, and the following shows that: Opponent 3P-A Opponent 3P-A Marshall.............4-18 Tulsa................. 4-19 @USM..............5-13 @Gonzaga........ 6-20 @UAB..............2-23 @UCF.............. 8-16 UCF...................1-15 USM................. 4-18 @Marshall.........7-22 UAB.................. 5-21

CHANGING IT UP It’s not a surprise that head coach Josh Pastner has had to juggle his starting lineup in 2010-11 with injuries, additions and subtraction of players and the overall youth of the squad. According research by USC Upstate SID Alex Edwards, the Tigers are third in the nation in using different starting lineups this year, and the following shows that (top five teams listed below): Team No. of Different Lineups Pepperdine..........................................15 Georgia State......................................15 Memphis............................................14 Saint Louis.........................................13 USC Upstate......................................13 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: SHARE THE BALL During the 2010 portion of the 2010-11 schedule, the Tigers had a couple of games where they racked up 20 or more assists and that translated into victories. So, head coach Josh Pastner was hoping to see his Tigers share the ball more often in the new year.

Memphis has shared the ball on occasion, but when the young Tigers don’t dish out the dimes, it shows in the final score. The following shows the

DID YOU KNOW? The Tigers have the most newcomers on the team for the first time since the 1972-73 season.

Memphis has eight newcomers on its roster (seven freshmen, one transfer) in 2010-11. The 1972-73 Tigers had 10 newcomers on their roster, and many of those were available because 1972-73 was the first year of freshmen eligibility.

That 1972-73 Memphis squad advanced to the NCAA national title game.

TIGER CUBS LEAD THE WAY With Memphis starting three freshmen most games and playing five newbies a lot of minutes, it is expected that over 50 percent of the scoring is falling on their shoulders. Well, it is.

Game #27 • Memphis vs. Rice • Page 10 Hall Transfers To Memphis

6-foot-8 forward from Memphis can practice immediately with Tigers Head coach Josh Pastner announced the transfer of Ferrakohn Hall to the Tigers basketball program Jan. 6. Hall, a transfer from Seton Hall University, is eligible to practice with the team immediately, but will sit out from game action the next two semesters (spring and fall 2011).

Hall’s first practice was Jan. 6. The Memphis, Tenn., native’s first game will be at the conclusion of the 2011 fall semester, which is Dec. 15, 2011.

“We are welcoming home one of the city’s products in Ferrakohn to the Tigers program,” said Pastner. “Although he can’t suit up for a game until the end of the 2011 fall semester, I expect the addition of Ferrakohn to the squad to provide an impact for our team at every practice, starting Thursday and moving forward.”

In his one-and-a-half seasons at Seton Hall, the 6-foot-8 forward played in 39 games and made two starts. Hall averaged 2.9 points and 2.1 rebounds, while shooting 52.2 percent from the field.

This season, Hall played in all 10 games and averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds, before announcing he would transfer from the Seton Hall program in mid-December. He played in his final game in a Pirate uniform on Dec. 19 versus NJIT and had eight points and four rebounds in 23 minutes. Hall scored a career-high 15 points in the Pirates’ 104-79 win at UMass on Dec. 11. He also had lations graduate assistant Ryan Powell, Memphis is one of three schools in NCAA Division I to get over 60 percent of its scoring from freshmen. To be exact, the Tigers are getting 62.7 percent of their points from freshmen.

The following shows the three NCAA Division I schools getting over 60 percent of their scoring from freshmen and also the total points from freshmen: School Pct. Freshman Total Pts North Dakota 65.4 1,068 Kentucky 64.1 1,237 Memphis 62.7 1,220 TIGERS SEVENTH YOUNGEST IN NCAA No one wants to hear how young the 2010-11 Memphis team is anymore with more than half the season gone by. However, entering the campaign, the Tigers had the seventh-youngest squad out of 346 NCAA Division I programs, according to kenpom.com.

Memphis is one of only four teams to be ranked in the top-25 national polls at some time this season with a top-50 youngest team. Connecticut (12th), Kentucky (36th) and North Carolina (40th) are the other three schools with a top-50 young team that was also ranked in the top-25 of the national polls at some point during 2010-11.

career bests for field goals (5), free throws (5) and free throw attempts (7) versus the Minutemen. In a Dec. 8 setback to Arkansas in the SEC/Big East Invitational, Hall earned his second collegiate start and played a season-best 26 minutes. He grabbed a career-high seven rebounds versus the Razorbacks.

As a freshman in 2009-10, Hall played in 30 games, averaging 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds and shooting 58.8 percent from the field. He scored a season-best nine points versus Navy and pulled down a season-high six boards versus Hartford.

In his first collegiate start at Georgetown, Hall had eight points and three rebounds.

Prior to his collegiate career in South Orange, N.J., Hall was a 2009 Tennessee All-State first team pick at White Station High School. As a senior in 2008-09, he averaged 15.4 points and 9.7 boards in helping the Spartans to the 2009 TSSAA Class AAA state crown, the school’s first championship since 2004. In that 2009 title game, Hall grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. For his efforts, Hall was an All-District 15 pick and a Commercial Appeal “Best of the Preps” first team selection.

In his two seasons at White Station, Hall helped lead the Spartans to a 58-20 overall record and back-to-back appearances in the TSSAA Class AAA title game (champion in 2009; runner-up in 2008).

Entering his senior season in 2008-09, Hall was rated one of the nation’s top forwards. Rivals.com ranked Hall the country’s No. 46 power forward, while ESPNU.com rated him the nation’s No. 38 small forward.

The next youngest team in Conference USA is UCF at 102. Saturday’s foe, Rice, is the 223rdyoungest team in the nation (the sixth-youngest team in C-USA).

330. UTEP WITHERSPOON RETURNS TO COURT For the first time since Jan. 12, Wesley Witherspoon saw game action in the Tigers’ 62-58 win over UAB Feb. 16. In 15 minutes versus the Blazers, Witherspoon was 3-of-3 from the field for six points.

The 6-foot-9 forward last played in the Tigers’ setback at SMU Jan. 12, but afterwards, was suspended for an internal matter. He did not play in the

Jan. 15 Marshall and Jan. 19 Southern Miss contests.

Head coach Josh Pastner announced Jan. 20 that Witherspoon was reinstated to the team, but would not be immediately available to play as a result of lingering soreness in his knee. The Atlanta, Ga., native remained sidelined until Feb. 7 when he returned to the practice court for limited drills.

In the Tigers’ Feb. 14 practice, Witherspoon went through the entire session, including contact drills. It was his first full practice since before the Jan. 12 SMU game.

On Dec. 10, Witherspoon underwent surgery for a right knee meniscal tear and was expected to miss up to five weeks of action. He, however, returned 13 days later and played in the Tigers’ Dec. 23 game versus Georgetown.

BARTON A LATE-GAMER If head coach Josh Pastner had his choice, he’d prefer Will Barton get his motor going a little earlier in games. However, later is better than never, and that’s what the 6-foot-6 guard did in the Tigers’ wins over Southern Miss twice, UAB twice and UCF, and the following details that: UAB • Feb. 16 • Scored seven of his 17 points in the final 7:37 • Hit a jumper with 7:37 left during a 16-4 run that turned a 40-33 deficit to a 49-44 lead • Scored a key layup with 3:43 left to extend a 50-48 Memphis lead to 52-48 • Hit two free throws with :58 left for a 58-52 lead Southern Miss • Feb. 12 • Scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half • With under a minute to play, hit two clutch runners in the lane to help lead the Tigers to the win • First runner came at the :58 mark and extended a 61-58 Tigers’ lead to 63-58 • With :22 remaining, hit another running jumper to increase the Memphis lead from 63-61 to 65-61.

UCF • Feb. 9 • Scored five of his 15 points in final 9:12; also grabbbed two boards and dished out two assists in the final 9:12 • Hit a three-pointer with :58 left to tie the game at 60-all • Assisted on Antonio Barton’s game-winning trey with :02.6 left UAB • Jan. 22 • Netted 10 of his 17 team-high points in the final 7:57 of regulation and overtime • Hit two huge treys late in the second half — the first to cut a UAB lead to 58-56 with 5:10 left and the second with 54 seconds left in regulation to give Memphis a 68-66 lead • Just prior to the trey to give Memphis the lead, assisted on Tarik Black’s layup • Baseline floater with :47 left in overtime gave the Tigers a 73-68 advantage Southern Miss • Jan. 19 • Netted 10 of his team-best 15 points in the final

Game #27 • Memphis vs. Rice • Page 11 9:23 of the game • Scored five points (jumper, trey) in a 9-4 run to turn a 62-60 deficit into a 69-66 lead • His three-pointer in that spurt gave Memphis its first lead of the game at 69-66 with 3:17 on the clock • Two minutes later, had a put-back dunk to keep the Tigers in the lead at 73-70 with 1:26 left “BIG SHOT” BARTON Robert Horry went down in NBA lore as “Big Shot Bob” because of his ability to hit the clutch basket. Well, he’s just a freshman, but Antonio Barton has proven he can hit the big basket in his short time as a Tiger. The following details the big shots Barton hit the last two games: UCF • Feb. 9 • With time running down, received a pass from his brother, Will, in the right corner and buried a threepointer with :02.6 left • His trey was the game-winner in the Tigers’ 63-62 win Gonzaga • Feb. 5 • Hit running jumper in lane to put Memphis ahead 60-58 with :35 left in the game • Connected on two free throws with :01.9 left to secure the 62-58 win “MOOCH” TO THE RESCUE If you talk with people that followed Sun Belt Conference hoops the past two years, they’ll tell you Charles Carmouche’s clutch performances for the Tigers this season are nothing new. The following chronicles what “Mooch” has done for Memphis in crunch-time situations this year: UAB • Feb. 16 • Scored five of his 10 points in the final 8:02 • Hit free throw at 8:02 mark to give Memphis a 4544 lead; Tigers didn’t trail rest of the game • Connected on both free throws with 3:19 left to extend lead to 54-48 • Followed up a Chris Crawford miss with a tipdunk at the 2:11 mark for a 56-50 lead Gonzaga • Feb. 5 • Hit clutch three-pointer with 1:44 left in regulation to tie game at 56-all, setting up the Tigers’ chance to win the game • His trey ended a 10-2 Gonzaga run • In first half, scored eight points (layup, two treys) to help turn a 20-15 deficit into a 25-all tie Southern Miss • Jan. 19 • Hit three-pointer with :01.2 on the clock to give Memphis the 76-75 win, completing the Tigers’ comeback from 18 points down in first half Austin Peay • Dec. 16 • Single-handedly brought Memphis back to give the home team an opportunity for the win • With the Tigers down 43-28 with 13:35 left, scored 11 of his squad’s next 22 points to give Memphis a

50-49 lead at the 5:23 mark • Also had three assists that led to seven points in the run, essentially giving him a hand in 18 of the Tigers’ 22 points in the spurt • In addition to the points and assists, pulled down four of his team-high seven boards during the run DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE For the fifth time this season, a Memphis player recorded a double-double. The latest was senior forward Will Coleman’s 11-point, 10-rebound performance in the Tigers’ 68-65 loss to Tulsa Feb. 2. The following tracks the Tigers’ double-doubles throughout the 2010-11 campaign: Player/Opponent Dbl-Dbl Coleman/Tulsa............................................. 11-10 Coleman/Marshall....................................... 19-11 Witherspoon/Lipscomb............................... 28-14 Stephens/Western Kentucky....................... 13-11 Witherspoon/NW State............................... 24-12 CALL HIM “MR. CLUTCH” Well, freshman Chris Crawford saves his best for last, or at least, for late in the game. In seven of the Tigers’ victories this season, the 6-foot-4 guard has made big plays late, and the following chronicles those: Southern Miss • Feb. 12 • Hit a jumper with 9:08 left to pull the Tigers to within three at 51-48 • Assisted on back-to-back D.J. Stephens’ dunks in a 33 second span to give Memphis a 57-54 lead with 6:27 left • Came up with two clutch defensive rebounds in the final 2:20 of the game • Was 4-of-4 from the free throw line in final two minutes to seal the win UAB • Jan. 22 • Hit a three-pointer to pull Memphis to within one at 48-47 with 10:30 left; the trey halted an 11-1 run by the Blazers that turned a 43-37 deficit into a 4844 lead • Nailed second three-pointer with 3:04 left in regulation to tie game at 62-all Southern Miss • Jan. 19 • Hit two second-half treys in a 16-11 run that cut a 51-44 Southern Miss lead to 62-60; also had a steal and a layup in the Tigers’ spurt • Stole the Southern Miss inbounds pass with :01.2 left to preserve the win East Carolina • Jan. 8 • After Joe Jackson hit a FT to put Memphis ahead 61-58 with :03 left, East Carolina quickly moved the ball up court, but Crawford intercepted the pass intended for Brock Young at the three-point line; his steal preserved the victory Austin Peay • Dec. 16 • Hit two three-pointers in a 19-4 run in the second

The Tigers were led by freshman Antonio Barton, who scored 17 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He also had five steals and four assists in 23 minutes of action.

Fellow freshman Chris Crawford was also perfect from the field, finishing with 16 points on a perfect 6-of6 from the field in just 13 minutes. Angel Garcia netted 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting and a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe. He also grabbed five rebounds.

#19/19 Memphis 72 • Miami (Fla.) 68 Nov. 15, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

In a game that had 58 fouls, 13 ties and 15 lead changes, No. 19/19 Memphis scrapped its way to a 72-68 nonconference victory over Miami (Fla.) to tip off ESPN’s 24 Hours of Hoops in front of 17,783 raucous fans at FedExForum.

Trailing 63-59 after a three-point bucket by Malcolm Grant at the four minute mark in the second half, Wesley Witherspoon intercepted a pass near mid-court and fed a streaking Chris Crawford to narrow the margin to 63-61.

After a missed shot by Miami, Witherspoon drew a fouled and calmly stepped to the line and knocked down two from the charity stripe to even the mark at 63 with 2:26 to play.

Miami countered as Durand Scott drew another foul and made two free throws to put the Hurricanes back in front 65-63. Crawford again answered the bell, this time with a corner trifecta that sent FedExForum into a frenzy and put Memphis ahead 66-65.

Scott went back to the line on the next possession, this time making one of two to again tie the ballgame at 66.

Charles Carmouche and Joe Jackson would each make a pair of free throws to keep the Canes’ late push at bay before Antonio Barton’s free throw with 1.5 seconds left put the game out of reach 72-68.

Jackson finished with 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting to lead the Tigers, who won despite shooting just 33.9 percent and getting dominated 51-31 on the glass. C armouche added 13 points, including 8-of-10 from the charity stripe, and five steals in a team-high 31 minutes. Witherspoon (12) and Antonio Barton (10) were the only other Tigers that finished in double figures.

The Miami backcourt of Scott and Grant, which came in averaging a combined 43 points, didn’t disappoint. The duo combined for nearly half of Miami’s points. Scott finished with 20 on 5-of-11 field goals and 9-of-11 free throws, while Grant finished with 18 points. H urricane center Reggie Johnson, who was limited in the first half due to foul trouble, found a rhythm after the break and finished with a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Memphis held Arian Foster, who led the ACC in three-point shooting last season with a mark of 42.1 percent, scoreless in 22 minutes of action. Foster finished 0-of-4 from the arc, and Miami shot just 15.8 percent as a team from three.

Wesley Witherspoon netted his first career doubledouble with 24 points and 12 rebounds and Will Barton added 22 points, including 11-straight in the second half, to lift Memphis past Northwestern State 94-79.

Led by 14 first-half points from Witherspoon, the Tigers took a 57-44 lead into the break, but the Demons countered with a 21-9 run to open the second half and take the lead 63-61 at the 13:12 mark.

The Tigers responded immediately. Joe Jackson found an open Barton in the corner for a trifecta to put the Tigers back on top 64-63. Barton then picked Devon Baker’s pocket near midcourt before gathering the ball and going up for an emphatic two-handed jam to extend the Memphis advantage to 66-63.

The Demons’ William Mosley answered on the other end with a layup to narrow the gap to 66-65, but Barton countered again with another three-pointer to extend the Memphis advantage to 69-65. From that point, the Tigers closed the game on a 25-14 run.

Barton finished with eight boards and three steals to complement his 22 points in 31 minutes of action. Tarik Black scored all of his nine points in the second half and was a presence inside for Memphis. Fellow big man Angel Garcia also added nine points, all coming in the first half.

Jackson, who led Memphis against Miami with 17 points, finished with eight points and three assists.

Will Pratt led Northwestern State with 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in 30 minutes of play. Devon Baker (15 points) and Louis Ellis (11) were the only other Demons to finish in double figures.

After being outrebounded by 20 in its previous game against Miami, Memphis dominated the Demons on the glass 42-28. The Tigers pulled down 19 offensive rebounds and converted them into 20 second-chance points. It was the highest rebounding margin (+14) since Memphis outrebounded UCF by 14 on Feb. 10 of last season.

Behind Wesley Witherspoon’s 20 points, No. 19/19 Memphis showed grit and tenacity on its way to a 70-61 victory over LSU in front of 7,941 fans at BancorpSouth Arena in the Global Sports Challenge. It was the largest crowd to watch a basketball game at BancorpSouth Arena.

Memphis found itself in a first-half hole for the first time this season, as LSU took a 34-33 lead into the break on the strength of 12 first-half points from Aaron Dotson.

After the break, Memphis came out of the locker room firing and used a 6-0 early second-half run to regain the lead at 39-34 at the 17:23 mark after a Joe Jackson steal and coast-to-coast finish. LSU, though. responded with a 6-2 run to narrow the gap to 41-40 on a contested triple from Andre Stringer, who finished with a team-high 13 points.

Chris Crawford answered on the ensuing possession for Memphis, driving through the left side of the lane and using the backboard to go up and under for an “and-one” layup that keyed an 8-0 run for a 49-40 advantage.

LSU again responded. This time, the visiting Tigers put together a 12-4 run to climb within one at 53-52 at the 5:39 mark. An old fashioned three-point play by Jackson put Memphis ahead 55-52, before LSU answered with a trifecta from Ralston Turner and a layup by Stringer to take the lead 57-56.

After Tarik Black split a pair of free throws to notch the game at 57, Jackson found Crawford alone in the corner. Crawford, who had struggled finding his range throughout the game, calmly received the pass and swished home the three-ball to put Memphis in front for good at 6057 with 3:53 to play. An emphatic dunk by Witherspoon on the next Tiger possession gave Memphis a 62-57 lead with less than three minutes to play.

Another triple from Crawford at the 1:02 mark extended the Tiger lead to eight at 67-59 and put the game out of reach. Jackson iced the game in the final minute, hitting 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.

Will Coleman scored a career-high 20 points and added seven rebounds off the bench to lead No. 14/15 Memphis past Tennessee Martin 102-80 in a non-conference encounter.

Coleman, who was held scoreless in 13 minutes of action in the previous contest against LSU, responded in a big way against the Skyhawks. The 6-foot-9 junior scored on an array of crowd-pleasing and emphatic dunks, as he led the Tigers to their second 100-point plus performance of the season.

Freshman Will Barton, also coming off the bench, finished with 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, and junior Angel Garcia finished with 15 points and nine boards in a reserve role. The Tigers reserves racked up 60 points against the Skyhawks.

Joe Jackson (16 points) and Wesley Witherspoon (14) were the only other Tigers in double figures. Memphis outplayed Tennessee Martin in nearly every facet of the game, leading from start to finish and assisting on 29 of 38 baskets. Memphis also took advantage of its superiority in size, accumulating a season-high 56 points in the paint.

Witherspoon started the scoring outbreak for Memphis on the first possession of the game, as he controlled the ball at the top of the key before driving for an easy lefty lay-in.

Witherspoon scored seven of the first 11 points for Memphis, and the Tigers continued to get easy looks throughout the contest, finishing 38-of-74 from the field (51.4 percent) and converting 19 Skyhawk turnovers into 31 points.

Reuben Clayton, a Memphis native, led the way for Tennessee Martin, scoring 20 points and pulling down 10 boards. However, 15 of Clayton’s 20 points came in the opening half. Terence Smith (14 points) and Mike Liabo (10) were the only other Skyhawks in double figures. Tennessee Martin finished the game shooting 49.2 percent (29of-59) from the floor, including 8-of-17 from beyond the arc.

#14/15 Memphis 78 • Arkansas St. 71 (OT) Dec. 1, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Will Barton scored 20 points and added six rebounds in a career-high 39 minutes to lead No. 14/15 Memphis past Arkansas State 78-71 in a non-conference overtime thriller at FedExForum.

Memphis sprinted out to a 25-7 advantage after the Red Wolves made just two of their first 20 attempts from the floor and cruised to a 35-24 halftime advantage. Arkansas State opened the second half on a 9-2 run to cut the lead to 37-33 at the 17:54 mark, but the Tigers responded and quickly built the lead back to 50-40 with 14:13 to play.

The Red Wolves, however, wouldn’t go away, as they cut the lead to as few as three on three different occasions before a three-point basket by Daniel Bryant cut the Tigers’ lead to 65-64 with 2:10 to play. Bryant made one-of-two free throws with 35 seconds remaining to tie the game at 65-all and send it to overtime.

With Memphis big man Will Coleman fouled out, Arkansas State fed it down low to Martavius Adams, who converted back-to-back buckets to give the Red Wolves their first lead of the game at 69-65 with 3:52 remaining in overtime.

Memphis finally snapped out of its offensive funk and went on a decisive 9-0 run sparked by a determined drive and left-handed layup by Wesley Witherspoon to narrow the gap to 69-67. Joe Jackson stole the ball on the ensuing Red Wolves’ possession and drove for a fast-break layup to knot the game at 69-all.

Charles Carmouche buried two free throws on Memphis’ next possession after being fouled on a drive to put the Tigers back in front at 71-69. After an Adams’ missed jumper, Jackson again drove to the hole, and this time, converting a three-point play to give Memphis a 74-69 advantage and put the game out of reach.

Jackson finished with 10 points, joining Barton (20), Witherspoon (10) and Antonio Barton (1) as the only Tigers to finish in double figures.

Bryant finished with 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting to lead Arkansas State. Memphis native Donald Boone chipped in 12 points. Adams (11 points) and Malcoln Kirkland (10) also finished in double figures for the Red Wolves.

#14/15Memphis 77 • Western Kentucky 61 Dec. 4, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Coming into Saturday’s matchup against Western Kentucky, Memphis (7-0) needed someone to emerge on the inside. D.J. Stephens did just that by totaling career highs in points (11) and rebounds (13) in a series of abovethe-rim plays en route to leading the Tigers to a 77-61 victory over the Hilltoppers (3-5) at FedExForum.

Freshmen Joe Jackson (15) and Tarik Black (11) were the only other Tigers to finish in double-digits in a game that saw Memphis commit 21 turnovers and lose the battle of the boards, 43-41. WKU finished with 25 offensive rebounds, which resulted in 21 second-chance points.

The Tigers overcame that sloppy play by exploiting their size on the inside and forcing the Hilltoppers into 20 turnovers of their own. Memphis finished with 46 points in the paint and 20 points off the 21 WKU turnovers.

WKU was led by 16 points from Sergio Kerusch, who added eight rebounds in 29 minutes. Ken Brown (10) was the only other Hilltopper that finished in double figures. The Memphis defense held Juan Patillo to just six points on 1-of-10 shooting from the floor. Pattillo came in as WKU’s leading scorer at nearly 17 points per contest.

Memphis took a 47-31 advantage into halftime and was keyed by 11 first-half points from Jackson, who also provided what was perhaps the highlight of the season thus far.

The Hilltoppers refused to go away, however, as they cut the lead to single digits on two different occasions in the second half. Memphis was able to respond each time, however. Kerusch made it a 53-45 game at the 13:06 mark on a layup before Wesley Witherspoon responded with an emphatic slam for Memphis on the other end.

WKU narrowed the deficit to nine again seven minutes later, this time on Pattillo’s only field goal of the night at the 6:44 mark that narrowed the Tiger lead to 61-52.

Five straight points by Will Coleman, however, effectively put the game out of reach, as the Tigers closed the game on a 16-9 run.

Coleman and Witherspoon each finished with seven points in the contest. Black’s 11 points were a career-high, and the freshmen from Memphis, Tenn., also added a career-best four rejections.

#4/4 Kansas 81 • #13/14 Memphis 68 Dec. 7, 2010 • New York, N.Y. Jimmy V Classic

Kansas’ physical play proved too much for Memphis, as the No. 13/14 Tigers fell to the No. 4/4 Jayhawks 8168 at Madison Square Garden. The game was part of the Jimmy V Classic doubleheader.

Will Barton scored 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting and and pulled down seven rebounds in the losing effort for Memphis. Chris Crawford added 15 points, while Charles Carmouche was the only other Tiger in double figures with 12 points.

Memphis battled back from being down eight points on two different occasions in the first half and narrowed the deficit to 37-35 at halftime on the strength of Crawford’s 12 first-half points.

Tarik Black tied the game at 39-all for the Tigers with two free throws at the 18:21 mark of the second half, but Kansas countered with a 9-0 run to recapture the lead 4839 at the 16:05 mark. The Tigers narrowed the margin to 50-45 on a layup from Will Barton with 14:07 to play, but that was the closest Memphis got the remainder of the contest.

Kansas went on a 10-1 run capped by an Elijah Johnson dunk at the 10:10 mark to extend the lead to double digits for good.

Twin post players Markieff and Marcus Morris led the attack for the Jayhawks, scoring 16 points and 14 points, respectively. Tyshawn Taylor (13 points) and Thomas Robinson (10) also finished in double digits for Kansas.

Memphis struggled shooting the ball, making just 27-of-72 (37.5 percent) attempts from the floor, including 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Black and Witherspoon added eight points apiece, but went at combined 6-of-21 from the floor.

The Tigers forced 22 Jayhawk turnovers, but were outworked on the glass 44-31.

#18/19 Memphis 70 • Austin Peay 68 (OT) Dec. 16, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Despite trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half, Memphis fought back to force overtime and eventually escaped with a 70-68 non-conference victory over Austin Peay.

The Tigers committed 14 first-half turnovers and shot just 34.8 percent in the opening period, but still enjoyed a 24-19 cushion heading into the break.

Four-straight turnovers to start the second half quickly turned into a 16-0 Governors run that put Memphis on its heels. Scoring 21-straight over seven minutes that spanned both halves, Austin Peay turned a 24-14 deficit into a 35-24 lead just three minutes into the second half.

Sparked by his own four-point play at the 16:45 mark, Charles Carmouche single-handedly willed the Tigers back into the game by scoring or assisting on Memphis’ first 20 points of the second half. The Tigers finally came back to tie the contest after a corner triple from Chris Crawford that capped a 19-4 Memphis run and knotted the game at 47-all with 8:35 to play.

Memphis again was trailing in the closing minutes.

Down 56-53 with 27 seconds left, Will Barton drew a foul and headed to the line. Barton made the first and missed the second, but a fortuitous bounce off the rebound allowed Memphis to get the ball back trailing 56-54.

The other Barton brother responded this time, as Antonio took the ball on the right wing and took two dribbles before lofting a 12-foot floater up and in to tie the game at 56 and force overtime.

Clutch three-point shooting by Memphis in the extra period proved to be enough to lift the Tigers past the Governors. Crawford nailed two trifectas and assisted on another

by Will Barton, as the Tigers jumped out to a 68-62 advantage with just under a minute to play.

Austin Peay refused to lay down, tough, as triples from Melvin Baker and Justin Blake brought the Governors back within 69-68 with 13 seconds to play. After Will Barton made 1-of-2 free throws to extend the advantage to 70-68, the Tigers locked down on defense and forced a missed three-point attempt from Blake at the buzzer.

Austin Peay won the battle on the glass 51-41, and both squads committed over 20 miscues apiece (UofM 24; APSU 20).

Freshman Joe Jackson scored a career-high 23 points and Memphis survived another close call, as the Tigers hung on to beat Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 68-63 at FedExForum.

The Tigers found themselves ahead 20-14 with eight minutes to go in the first half, but cold shooting allowed the Islanders to reel off an 8-0 run to grab the lead at 2220 with 6:10 to go before the break. Memphis responded with its own 6-0 mini-run, but Texas A&M-Corpus Christi finished the first half on a 7-2 spurt to claim a 29-28 advantage going into intermission.

Memphis came out of the break and regained the lead 33-29 after a triple from Jackson and a layup from Will Coleman, who finished with 15 points, nine boards, and four blocks in a team-high 32 minutes.

The Islanders again responded and went on a 9-2 run to retake the lead at 38-35 with 12:25 remaining in the game. Memphis battled back again and trailed by only two points at 45-43 with just under 10 minutes to play.

After back-to-back layups from Jackson, Antonio Barton drove hard to the bucket for the hoop and was fouled. He converted the free throw for an old-fashioned three-point play that put Memphis ahead for good 46-45.

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi cut the lead to three on four different occasions in the final 6:14, but clutch free throw shooting and solid ball handling allowed the Tigers to keep the Islanders at bay.

Drew Barham split a pair of free throws with 33 seconds remaining to make it a two-possession game at 6561, and after his second free throw missed the mark, Chris Crawford got the rebound. Memphis played keep-away for 12 seconds until Will Barton was fouled with :21 left. He hit both charity tosses to put the game away for Memphis.

Charles Carmouche, coming off a 16-point performance against Austin Peay, was the only other Tiger to finish in double figures. The junior transfer from New Orleans finished with 12 points and six rebounds in 31 minutes.

Hollis Hill led the Islanders with 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting in 21 minutes off the bench. Terence Jones and Justin Reynolds finished with 11 points apiece. Demond Watt led the visitors on the glass with eight boards.

Georgetown’s Austin Freeman scored a game-high 24 points and Julian Vaughn posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 boards to lift the No. 10/9 Hoyas to an 86-69 non-conference win over No. 16/17 Memphis in an ESPN2 nationally-televised game from FedExForum.

Chris Wright added 19 points for the visitors.

Will Barton led the Tigers with 18 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Will Coleman had 12 points and six boards, while Tarik Black added 10 points.

After an inspiring late first-half run, Memphis opened the second half hoping to continue that momentum swing.

The more-experienced Hoyas, though, had another plan — open the second half with a spurt to put the game out of reach. And that’s what Georgetown did.

The Hoyas went on a 10-4 run to start the second half and extended their halftime lead from 40-36 to 50-40.

Vaughn paced the run with four of his 15 points. Memphis cut the Hoyas’ lead to nine at 54-45 on a D.J. Stephens thunder dunk at the 15:39 mark, but the Tigers got no closer the rest of the contest.

Memphis cut the Georgetown lead to nine points three other times, with the last coming at 67-58 with 6:20 left. From there, the Hoyas steadily pulled away for the win, outscoring Memphis 19-11 in the final six minutes.

In the first half, the game was neck-and-neck in the early going. Memphis grabbed a four-point lead at 22-18 at the 10:03 mark, but Georgetown responded with an 8-0 spurt to take a 26-22 advantage. The Hoyas did not trail again in the game.

Georgetown shot 56.9 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from the three-point line. The Hoyas had 18 assists and only 11 turnovers.

Memphis hit 39.4 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from the arc. The Tigers won the battle on the boards, out-rebounding Georgetown 36-33. The Tigers dished out 15 assists, but committed 14 turnovers.

Wesley Witherspoon posted a double-double of 28 points and 14 boards and Will Barton added 15 points, six boards and five assists to lift No. 21/22 Memphis to an 8870 non-conference victory over Lipscomb. Joe Jackson (13 points) and Antonio Barton (12) also netted double figures for the Tigers.

Jackson dished out a career-high eight assists, while Witherspoon had three boards and three steals. Will Coleman scored six points and grabbed seven boards.

Adnan Hodzic led Lipscomb with 22 points and seven boards. Josh Slater added 12 points, four boards and six assists (team high), and Brandon Brown scored 10 points and pulled down four boards.

The Tigers led 29-16 with 8:32 left in the first half and looked like they were going to pull away. The Bisons, though, put together a 16-6 rally to cut the Memphis advantage to 35-32 with 2:01 on the clock. Hodzic (10 points) and Slater (four points) paced the Lipscomb run.

After a Lipscomb 30-second timeout, Memphis closed the first half with a 7-0 spurt to take a 42-32 lead into halftime. Will Barton started the run with a dunk, and Chris Crawford struck next with a three-pointer. Antonio Barton closed the spurt with a layup.

In the second half, Lipscomb stayed within striking distance at 59-53 with 13:26 left in the game. The Tigers, though, answered with a 16-6 run to increase their lead to 75-59 with 6:52 left and put the game out of reach. Antonio Barton ignited the spurt with two treys.

Memphis shot 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from the three-point line (11-of-22). The Tigers recorded 21 assists on 34 made baskets. Memphis won the battle of the glass for the third-straight game 42-23.

The Bisons shot 46 percent from the field and 72.7 percent from the charity stripe. Lipscomb, however, managed to hit only 19 percent from the arc (4-of-21).

The Memphis defense forced 15 Bisons turnovers, but the Tigers committed 18 misuces.

Antonio Barton scored a career-high 24 points, including 20 in the second half, and No. 21/22 Memphis survived a three-point shooting onslaught to defeat Tennessee State 91-86 at FedExForum.

After defeating Lipscomb 88-70 Dec. 30, Memphis again found itself in back-and-forth affair, as Tennessee State seemed to have a long range answer for every Tiger run.

Both teams shot above 50 percent in the first half, as Tennessee State connected on 10-of-11 three-point attempts in the first 20 minutes of play. Memphis countered with solid offensive sets in the halfcourt and used its advantage inside to counter the shooting barrage.

Led by Tarik Black’s 15 first-half points off the bench, Memphis came back to tie the game at 43-all at halftime after trailing 35-28 with less than eight minutes to play. Will Barton also added 10 in the first half.

Tennessee State didn’t slow down after halftime, as the visiting Tigers came out firing in the second half and put Memphis on its heels after a layup from Kenny Moore put Tennessee State ahead 60-52 with 13:06 to play.

On the next Memphis possession, the Tigers swung the ball around the perimeter before Joe Jackson found Antonio Barton open at the top of the key. Barton took the pass and drilled the open look, and then did the same thing on the next two Memphis trips.

Barton’s three-straight trifectas brought Memphis to within one at 62-61. Both Tigers went back and forth for the remainder of the game — there were nine lead changes in the contest — before Antonio Barton’s fifth triple with 2:34 remaining gave Memphis the lead for good at 82-79.

A three-pointer by Moore with 22 seconds left brought Tennessee State back to within 87-86, but Memphis scored four-straight points to finish the game.

Moore led the three-point onslaught for Tennessee State, as the forward made 5-of-6 from deep en route to scoring 22 points. Wil Peters (17), Robert Covington (16), Patrick Miller (12) and Jacquan Nobles (11) all finished in double figures for Tigers, which was seeking their first ever victory over a ranked foe.

Tennessee made 12-of-21 from long range and led from start to finish in a 104-84 victory over Memphis at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Will Coleman scored 17 points and Will Barton added 14 of his own, but the Tigers struggled from the field (30of-65) and the charity stripe (14-of-26) and couldn’t mount a comeback against the hot-shooting Volunteers.

Melvin Goins started the barrage of trifectas for Tennessee just 44 seconds into the game when he took a pass from Scotty Hopson and drained the triple for an early 3-0 advantage.

Memphis fought back to narrow the deficit to 14-10 after a triple from Charles Carmouche at the 15:40 mark, but Tennessee responded with 10-0 run to seize control of the contest and never looked back. Despite the Tigers closing the first half on a 7-0 run sparked by five points from D.J. Stephens, the Volunteers took a 49-34 lead into the break.

Freshmen Tobias Harris led the way for Tennessee, scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 points in a double-double effort, as the Volunteers outrebounded the Tigers 41-33 and scored 42 points in the paint. Scotty Hopson went 6-of12 from the field en route to a 16-point performance, while Goins made all four of his attempts from deep on the way to scoring 15 points.

Stephens finished with nine points and six rebounds in the losing effort, while Drew Barham and Antonio Barton finished with nine points and eight points, respectively.

Memphis committed 16 turnovers which led to 23 Tennessee points and allowed the Volunteers to score 19 points in transition.

Tennessee shot 53.7 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from the arc. Memphis hit 46.2 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from the three-point line.

Despite going scoreless from the floor for the final 5:23, Memphis scrapped out a 61-58 victory over East Carolina in the Conference USA opener for both teams.

After allowing 104 points in a Jan. 5 loss at Tennessee, defense was a focal point, as Memphis held the Pirates to 5-of-17 shooting in the opening half. The Tigers out-rebounded ECU 21-11 en route to a 33-21 advantage at the half.

A slow second-half start again proved troublesome for Memphis. The Pirates outscored the Tigers 28-16 in the first 12 minutes to tie the game at 49-all. East Carolina hit 5-of-8 from beyond the arc in its run.

The Pirates briefly held the lead at 52-51 after an andone dunk from Darrius Morrow at the 7:16 mark. Memphis regained the lead on a pair of free throws from Tarik Black on its next possession, but again found itself tied with East Carolina at 56-all with 3:51 to play.

Memphis, however, is no stranger to late-game drama, as seven of its 12 victories have been by nine or fewer points, and the Tigers again rallied late for the win against the Pirates.

Wesley Witherspoon stepped to the line with 2:54 to play and swished two free throws through to put Memphis ahead for good at 58-56. Free throws from Antonio Barton and Joe Jackson on the Tigers’ next two possessions gave Memphis a 61-58 lead with :03 left. Chris Crawford then intercepted a pass intended to set up Brock Young for a game-tying three-pointer to seal the victory.

Black finished with 12 points and seven rebounds while battling foul trouble throughout the second half.

Coleman finished with 11 points, including going 7-of-12 from the charity stripe, as the senior finished in double figures for the second-straight game.

Morrow led the way for the Pirates, finishing with 17 points and eight rebounds in a game-high 33 minutes. Jamar Abrams (15) and Young (10) were the only other ECU players to finish in double figures.

SMU 64 • Memphis 58 Jan. 12, 2011 • Dallas, Texas

Memphis 77 • Marshall 61 Jan. 15, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Memphis 76 • Southern Miss 75 Jan. 19, 2011 • Hattiesburg, Miss.

The host SMU Mustangs used a 17-0 second-half run and shot 56.3 percent from beyond the arc en route to upsetting Memphis 64-58 in a Conference USA encounter at Moody Coliseum.

The Tigers led 48-37 after a dunk by Tarik Black at the 11:18 mark. However, a Memphis cold-shooting streak coupled with empty trips at the free throw line — 0-of-9 from the charity stripe in the second half — were too much for the Tigers to overcome.

Papa Dia scored five-straight points, capped by a reverse layup and three-point play with 3:16 left, to give SMU its first lead of the game at 51-48. Collin Mangrum, who finished with 15 points in the game, then buried a triple on the next possession to extend the lead to 54-48 with under three minutes to go.

Joe Jackson responded on the next possession with a layup — the first Tiger score since the 11:20 mark — to cut the lead to 54-50 with 2:02 to play. Jackson was whistled for palming the basketball on the next possession, however, and Magrum capitalized with a follow-up layup on the ensuing Mustangs’ possession to push the lead back to six at 56-50.

A missed jumper by Jackson on the next possession forced the Tigers to foul, and Robert Nyakundi made two free throws to give SMU its largest lead of the night at 5850 with 39 seconds on the clock.

Wesley Witherspoon and Will Barton connected from long range in the final 30 seconds, but the Tigers missed five free throws down the stretch and couldn’t close the gap.

Jackson led the Tigers with 15 points, while Witherspoon was the only other Memphis player to finish in double figures with 11 points. Tarik Black added nine points and five rebounds.

For a second-straight season, Dia led the Mustangs to a victory at home over the Tigers, scoring 21 points and pulling down 10 boards. Nyakundu and Mangrum added 15 points of apiece for SMU.

Senior Will Coleman posted his first double-double of the season (19 points, 11 rebounds), and Memphis scored 48 points in the paint as the Tigers never trailed in a 77-61 Conference USA victory over Marshall at FedExForum.

After the Tigers jumped out to an early 8-2 advantage, the Thundering Herd battled back to tie the game at 15-all on a Dago Pena trey. A nifty layup by Antonio Barton and a triple from Charles Carmouche on the ensuing Memphis possessions sparked a 20-0 run as Memphis extended its lead to 35-15 at the 6:03 mark.

The Tigers shot 17-of-27 (63 percent) from the floor and held Marshall to just 26.9 percent shooting in the opening half, while dominating the Thundering Herd on the glass 21-12. Memphis took a 45-28 advantage into halftime.

The Thundering Herd never got back into the game after going without a field goal for over six minutes during the Tigers’ decisive first-half run. Marshall found itself within 51-41 after an old-fashioned three-point play from Damier Pitts, but an emphatic putback jam from D.J. Stephens and a Carmouche triple on the next two Tiger possessions effectively put the game out of reach.

Carmouche finished with 16 points, connecting on all three of his trey attempts and hitting 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. Freshman Tarik Black, who played alongside Coleman for much of the game, finished just one rebound short of his own double-double with 12 points and nine boards.

Will Barton settled into his mid-range game against the Thundering Herd, making 7-of-9 shots from inside the arc in a 15-point, five-assist effort.

DeAndre Kane led Marshall with 16 points and five rebounds, while Tirrell Baines added 15 points of his own.

Pitts finished with 14 points, but shot just 4-of-16 from the floor.

The Tigers finished the game shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 72.7 percent from the free throw line.

Memphis won the battle on the glass 39-29. The Tigers defense held Marshall to 37 percent shooting from the floor and 22.2 percent from the three-point arc.

In what will go down as the Tigers’ biggest comeback in the last 40 seasons, Charles Carmouche buried a threepointer from the left wing with :01.2 on the clock to lift Memphis to a thrilling 76-75 victory over rival Southern Miss in Conference USA action. Chris Crawford intercepted the Golden Eagles’ inbounds pass on the ensuing possession to seal the win.

Memphis was down by 18 points at 29-11with 7:49 to go in the first half and came back to win the game, marking the largest comeback by a Tiger squad since 1970-71. The Tigers cut the Southern Miss lead to 11 points at 40-29 at the break and was still down by double digits (48-37) five minutes into the second half.

That’s when Memphis chipped away. A 10-3 Tigers’ run over a 3:44 span sliced a 48-37 Golden Eagle lead to 51-46 at the 12:14 mark of the second half. Southern Miss regained its composure and built the advantage back to nine points at 62-53 with only 7:46 left.

The Tigers, though, went on another run — this time a 16-4 spurt to take their first lead of the game at 69-66 with 3:17 left. Crawford hit two treys in the spurt, and Will Barton, who netted a team-high 15 points, hit the three-pointer that game Memphis the lead.

After a D.J. Stephens’ dunk made it 71-66, the Golden Eagles responded with an 8-2 spurt to retake the lead at 74-73 on an R.L. Horton lane jumper with 16 seconds left.

Carmouche’s jumper with 11 seconds missed, and Horton grabbed the rebound and was fouled with :06.7 remaining.

Horton hit 1-of-2 free throws, giving the Tigers one final chance. Joe Jackson took the inbounds pass, raced it up the right side of the court and hit Carmouche with a pinpoint, cross-court pass for the game-winning shot.

In the first half, Southern Miss jumped on the Tigers early. After a 2-2 tie, the Golden Eagles went on a 10-0 run for a 12-2 advantage. Memphis cut the lead to 16-8, but the home squad raced to another 13-3 spurt for a 29-11 lead.

Gary Flowers finished with a game-high 21 points.

Horton added 18 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

For Memphis, Crawford scored 12 points (all in second half), Carmouche 11 points and Joe Jackson 10 points.

Tarik Black grabbed a game-high eight boards. Both teams shot over 50 percent from the floor (UofM, 50.8 percent; USM, 51.0 percent).

Will and Antonio Barton combined for 33 points and scored all six of Memphis’ points in the extra period en route to leading the Tigers to a 76-73 Conference USA overtime victory against UAB in a sold-out Bartow Arena.

Despite missing its final four free throw attempts in overtime and shooting 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the charity stripe throughout the game, Memphis once again managed to pull out the close victory.

Blazers’ senior point guard Aaron Johnson, who finished the game with 13 points, made 1-of-2 free throws with six seconds left in regulation to force overtime.

With four freshmen on the floor to start overtime, the Tigers responded by scoring the first five points in the extra period before Johnson cut the lead to 73-70 with 35 seconds remaining. Memphis countered when Tarik Black, who finished with 15 points and hit all five of his field goal attempts, stepped to the line and calmly knocked down two free throws with :26 left in overtime.

Antonio Barton made 1-of-2 from the line on the next Memphis possession before Cameron Moore drilled a contested trifecta to make it a one-possession game.

Will and Antonio Barton both missed two free throws on the next two Memphis possessions, but a last-second shot by the Blazers clanked off the rim allowing the Tigers to escape with their 10th-straight victory over UAB.

Will Coleman was the only other Tiger to finish in double figures, as the senior finished with 13 points and three rebounds off the bench. The Tigers shot 28-of-53 (52.8 percent) from the floor, including 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from long range.

Moore, who scored 13 of the Blazers’ first 23 points, finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Jamarr Sanders scored 15 points, but was 0-of-10 from the three-point arc.

Johnson added five assists and four rebounds.

Despite coming into the contest ranked 10th in CUSA in three-point field goal percentage defense, Memphis held UAB without a trifecta until the 13:32 mark in the second half. The Blazers finished the contest just 2-of23 from deep.

Will Barton scored 17 points and Joe Jackson added 12 points as Memphis turned in a solid all-around performance and sent UCF to its fifth-straight loss 77-61 in Conference USA action at FedExForum.

Barton, playing in front of his father for the first time this season at FedExForum, didn’t disappoint. The freshman wing scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half en route to leading Memphis to a 47-28 opening-half advantage.

After an A.J. Rompza layup evened the score at 16-all with 11:09 to play in the first half, the Tigers responded with a 16-4 run to regain control and take a 32-20 lead.

The Knights, though, answered with a quick 6-0 run of their own and cut the margin to 32-26 with just over four minutes to go before the break. The Tigers finished the half on a 15-2 run — fueled by seven points from Barton and five from Chris Crawford — to take a 47-28 halftime lead and put the game out of reach.

Crawford finished with 10 points in the contest, as four Tigers mustered double-figures in the victory.

Though he fouled out with over eight minutes to play, Tarik Black was a force inside for the Tigers and set the tone early with three blocks in the first five minutes of play.

Black finished with a career-best five blocks to complement nine points and four rebounds in 22 minutes. Antonio Barton finished with nine points on 4-of-6 shooting.

Sophomore Drew Barham, making his fourth-consecutive start, finished with five points, five assists and seven rebounds and came up with every loose ball when needed.

Marcus Jordan, son of NBA great Michael Jordan, scored 13 points, including 7-of-7 from the charity stripe.

P.J. Gaynor was the only other Knight to finish in double figures, tallying 10 points in 15 minutes off the bench.

The Tigers shot 48.5 percent from the field, while holding the Knights to 35.5 percent from the floor and 6.7 percent from the three-point line (1-of-15). The Memphis defense collected 11 steals and forced 22 UCF turnovers.

The Knights out-boarded Memphis 47-33, including pulling down 22 offensive rebounds.

DeAndre Kane led four Thundering Herd players in double figures with a game-high tying 20 points to lift Marshall to an 85-70 Conference USA victory over Memphis at the Cam Henderson Center.

Tirrell Baines and Damier Pitts each added 17 points, while Shaquille Johnson scored 10 points. Baines led Marshall on the glass with a game-best eight rebounds.

Will Barton led Memphis with 20 points. Tarik Black (14 points) and Joe Jackson (12) also netted double digits for the Tigers. Black and Charles Carmouche each grabbed five boards to lead Memphis.

Marshall held a 39-27 advantage at halftime and extended that lead to 16 points at 57-41 with 11:27 left to play.

Pitts and Dago Pena paced the second-half opening run for the Thundering Herd with five points apiece.

The Tigers, though, had one more spurt in them left.

Over the next four minutes, Memphis trimmed the Marshall lead from 16 points to five (18-7 run) at 64-59 with 7:19 remaining. Barton, Black and Jackson accounted for all 18 Tiger points in the spurt.

Marshall weathered the Tigers storm and answered with a 12-2 run to push its lead back to double digits at 76-61 with only 5:11 left to play. In the run, the Thundering Herd converted two three-point plays to put the game out of reach.

In the first half, Memphis and Marshall played to a standstill in the first eight minutes, and the home team held a 13-12 lead at the 11:56 mark. Over the next seven minutes, Marshall went on a 17-5 spurt to take control of the contest with a 30-17 advantage. Johnson, Pena and Pitts each hit a three-pointer to ignite the Thundering Herd run.

Memphis shot 42.4 percent from the field and 72.7 percent from the foul line. The Thundering Herd hit 46.6 percent from the floor and 64.9 percent from the charity stripe.

Marshall out-rebounded the Tigers 38-34, and the Thundering Herd defense forced 13 Memphis turnovers.

The Tigers entered the game ranked first in C-USA in assists and steals, but only had eight dimes and five swipes.

The Memphis Tigers, owners of the nation’s best record in conference home games over the last five years, fought one of their toughest battles of the season before falling to a veteran-laden Golden Hurricane squad 68-65 in Conference USA action.

Memphis did a good job defending C-USA scoring leader Justin Hurtt. The Tulsa guard missed his first 11 shots from the field and was held to no first-half points for the first time this season due, in large part, to the defensive presence of freshman guard Chris Crawford, who marked the senior guard throughout the contest.

An early Tarik Black dunk set the tone for the Tigers, who scored their first 20 points from inside the paint. However, a four-minute scoring drought in the first half allowed Tulsa to grab a 23-21 lead with under five minutes to play before halftime.

A four-point play from Will Barton jump-started the offense again for the Tigers, whose offense had gotten stagnant after Black left the game with three fouls. Memphis nursed a three-point lead at 30-27 into halftime.

Memphis started out strong in the second half, stretching the lead out to 10 points at 37-27 with 17:11 left. The run was highlighted by a D.J. Stephens’ monster dunk. The Tigers held Tulsa without a bucket for almost three minutes to begin the second half before Hurtt finally got on the board.

Tulsa slowly chipped away at the Tiger lead, whittling the deficit down to one with eight minutes remaining. A Joe Jackson foul on Tulsa’s Scottie Haralson three-point attempt gave Tulsa its first lead of the second half with 7:36 to go, but Will Barton equalized the game at 51-all on the other end with two made charity tosses.

Antonio Barton then made another huge three-pointer for the Tigers, his second of the game, to put Memphis up two at 54-52 with 5:50 left.

The teams traded baskets and possessions down the stretch with neither gaining the upper hand for long. Two Hurtt free throws with 1:19 to go put the Golden Hurricane up one at 62-61. Hurtt then followed with a runner in the lane with 36 seconds left put Tulsa on top for good at 6461.

Crawford put up a three early in the shot clock on the next possession that was unsuccessful. After an exchange of free throws and layups, the Tigers had a final chance to tie the game when Antonio Barton stole the Tulsa inbounds with :05 left. His and his brother’s desperation three-point attempts both came up short.

Antonio Barton scored 17 points, including the last four, and his brother, Will, added 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists to lead Memphis to a 62-58 non-conference victory over Gonzaga at Spokane Arena.

Leading 32-30 at the half, Memphis went on a 15-4 run out of the locker room to open a 47-34 advantage, with an Antonio Barton trifecta at the 13:38 mark the final three poitns of the spurt. Memphis, however, would go almost the next 13 minutes without a field goal, and the Bulldogsfought back to take a 54-53 lead with 3:03 to play.

After a second-consecutive layup from Robert Sacre, Charles Carmouche finally ended the Tigers’ field goal drought with a triple from the right corner to tie the game at 56-all with 1:44 to play.

Will Barton and Scare then each made a pair of free throws before Antonio Barton knocked down a 17-foot jumper to give the Tigers the lead 60-58 with 35 seconds to play. On the next Bulldogs’ possession, Tarik Black poked the ball away from Sacre, and Antonio Barton recovered the loose ball and was fouled with :01.9 left.

Barton knocked down both free throws to seal the game and fittingly stole the ensuing Gonzaga inbounds play to close out the victory.

Carmouche finished with 13 points, including three big-time three-pointers. Trailing 25-17 in the first half, Carmouche nailed a shot from long range to start an 8-0 run in which Memphis tied the game at 28-all.

Will Coleman was solid coming off the bench, finishing with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting to go along with seven rebounds in 30 minutes of action. Black finished with six points and seven rebounds, including five on the offensive glass. Memphis outrebounded Gonzaga 36-29.

Steven Gray led the way on offensive for Gonzaga with 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting, and Kelly Olynyk (10 points) was the only other player to finish in double figures.

Sacre finished with nine points and three rebounds, while Elias Harris struggled to eight points on 3-of-9 shooting.

The Tigers improve to 5-2 in the all-time series with Gonzaga, including all three games in Spokane. Memphis committed a season-low 10 turnovers in the victory, and the Tiger bench outscored the Bulldogs’ reserves 44-19.

Antonio Barton scored 14 points, including the gamewinning three-pointer with :02.6 left on the clock, to lift Memphis to a thrilling 63-62 Conference USA victory over UCF at UCF Arena. Will Barton, who assisted on his brother’s game-winning trey, led all scorers with 15 points.

He also had a game-high tying seven rebounds.

Tarik Black (11 points) and Will Coleman (10) also netted double figures for the Tigers. Charles Carmouche added six boards, while Will Barton dished out five assists.

Isaac Sosa led the Knights with 14 points, and Marcus Jordan added 12 points and five assists. Keith Clanton grabbed seven boards to go with his nine points.

The Tigers were down 60-55 with 3:30 left after an A.J. Tyler jumper. Memphis answered with a Black layup at the 2:56 mark to cut the UCF advantage to 60-57.

After an exchange of missed baskets, Memphis got the ball with 1:23 remaining. With only 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Carmouche found Will Barton open in the right corner, and he nailed the trifecta to tie the game at 60-all with :58 left. Will Barton was fouled on the play, but missed the free throw.

After a timeout on its ensuing possession, UCF went to Jordan, who made a clean cut to the hoop for a layup that put the Knights back in the lead at 62-60 with :39 on the clock. The Tigers rushed the ball up the court to get a quick score inside, but Black was fouled with :17 left, giving Memphis the last possession of the game.

On that possession, Will Barton tried to get open for a three-pointer, but passed the ball to Antonio Barton in the right corner for the game-winning trey with :02.6 left. Jordan’s desperation shot missed at the buzzer, and Memphis left Orlando with the win.

In the first half, it looked as if the Tigers were going to pull away. Memphis built a 32-23 advantage after a Coleman dunk at the 3:17 mark. UCF, though, responded with a 7-0 run to close the first half and take momentum into the locker room.

Memphis shot 44.6 percent from the field, while holding UCF to 39.3 percent from the floor. The Knights were hot from the arc, hitting 50 percent of their trey attempts.

The Tigers won the battle on the glass 36-32.

Memphis 67 • Southern Miss 61 Feb. 12, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Memphis 62 • UAB 58 Feb. 16, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Tarik Black scored a game-high 17 points and pulled down a game-best nine boards and Will Barton added 16 points, including two runners in the lane with under a minute left, to lead Memphis to a thrilling 67-61 Conference USA victory over Southern Miss. The game was played before a season-high crowd of 18,104 at FedExForum.

Chris Crawford scored nine points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out a game-high five assists. He hit four clutch free throws in the final two minutes to help seal the win.

D.J. Newbill and Gary Flowers each scored 14 points to lead Southern Miss. Maurice Bolden added 13 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Flowers, who entered the game with a 20.3 scoring average, got into foul trouble early and fouled out with 4:51 on the clock.

The Golden Eagles had a 37-31 halftime lead and extended it to 41-31 a minute into the second half. Memphis, though, responded with an 11-3 run to cut the Southern Miss advantage to 44-42 at the 13:40 mark. Barton paced the Tigers’ spurt with seven points.

Southern Miss regained its composure and still held a 51-46 lead after two Josimar Ayarza free throws at the 9:29 mark. The Tigers, however, went on a 9-0 run over the next 2:28 to take their first lead of the contest at 55-51 with 7:01 remaining. A Crawford runner in the lane and a Charles Carmouche trey tied the game at 51-all. Then, Will Coleman and D.J. Stephens threw down back-to-back dunks for the lead.

Despite Flowers fouling out, the Golden Eagles hung in there and grabbed a 58-57 lead on a Bolden basket at the 4:02 mark. The Tigers then re-took the lead on fourstraight free throws (two Black, two Crawford) to give Memphis a lead that it didn’t relinquish.

Barton sealed the victory with two running jumpers in the lane with under a minute to play for a 65-61 Tigers’ lead. Crawford hit the final two free throws with :05 left for the 67-61 win.

In the first half, Southern Miss jumped out to an early 11-3 lead and extended it to as many as 12 points at 2513 on a Flowers’ jumper at the 9:59 mark. The Tigers answered with a 10-0 run, fueled by Joe Jackson’s five points (trey, two free throws), to get back in the game at 25-23.

The Tiger defense held Southern Miss to 38.1 percent shooting from the field and 22.2 percent from the arc. The Golden Eagles, who entered the game with a Conference USA-best 8.2 rebound margin, was only able to out-rebound Memphis by a slim 37-36 margin.

Will Barton scored 17 points and Joe Jackson added 12 points as Memphis outlasted a tough UAB squad 62-58 in a Conference USA clash at FedExForum.

Barton and Jackson each made a pair of clutch free throws down the stretch to help hand the Blazers’ their 11th-straight loss against the Tigers. Memphis also won its 20th game, marking the 11th-consecutive season the program achieved that feat.

After taking a 28-24 halftime lead, Memphis opened the second half lackadaisical on defense and allowed UAB to make three of its first four looks from long range. Those three triples were part of a 16-2 Blazer run that gave the visitors from Birmingham a 40-33 lead with 14:49 to go.

The Tigers, though, responded with a 9-0 run of their own, and Charles Carmouche put Memphis ahead for good at 45-44 when he made 1-of-2 free throws at the 8:02 mark.

Still, it wasn’t easy down the stretch for Memphis, as UAB’s senior point guard Aaron Johnson was fouled on three-straight Blazer possessions in the final minute of play. Johnson converted 4-of-6 from the free throw line, and after two charity tosses from Ovie Soko with 24 seconds, the Tigers’ lead was down to one at 59-58.

Jackson answered with two free throws for Memphis at the :22 mark, and Antonio Barton made 1-of-2 free throws with :13 left to seal the victory for the Tigers.

Carmouche was the only other Tiger to join Barton and Jackson in double figures, totaling 10 points to go along with six rebounds in 29 minutes. Black, who struggled finishing close to the rim in the first half, found a rhythm and finished with seven points and seven rebounds.

Wesley Witherspoon, playing for the first time since Jan. 12 at SMU, finished with six points on 3-of-3 shooting in 15 minutes of action.

Soko, playing an increased role after Blazer forward Cameron Moore was sidelined since breaking his hand Feb. 11, finished with a game-high 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting. Johnson finished with a double-double of 12 points and 10 assists, despite making just 2-of-9 from the field. Anthony Criswell was the only other UAB player to manage double digits, finishing with 12 points in 35 minutes.
