Memphis vs.Southern Miss Notes



Miss in the Conference USA Tournament quarter-finalround.TheTigersandGoldenEaglesaretwoof Conference USA’s top-three scoring offenses. Southern Miss leads the league with a 74.8 scoring average, while the Tigers are third in C-USA with a 72.3 average. In the two regular season encounters, Memphis averaged 71.5 points and Southern Miss averaged 68.0 points (76-75 UofM win in Hattiesburg; 67-61 UofM win in Memphis).

TIGERS, BEWARE THE LEADING SCORER Hopefully, the Tigers learned their lesson from the 2009-10 season if they play one of Conference USA’s leading scorers in Southern Miss’ Gary Flow-ers on Thursday. Flowers is C-USA’s third-leading scorer at 19.0 ppg. Last year, Memphis didn’t fare so well in its three meetings against C-USA’s leading scorer, Houston’s Aubrey Coleman. The Tigers dropped two of the three games to the Cougars, and Coleman averaged 29.0 points in the three contests. In the two regular season Memphis-Southern Miss match-ups, Flowers averaged 17.5 points. He scored 21 points in the game in Hattiesburg and net-ted 14 in the contest in Memphis. Flowers was lim-ited by foul trouble in the encounter at FedExForum.

BOARD BATTLE AWAITS THURSDAY The Tigers have faced some battles on the glass in 2010-11, and their C-USA rival, Southern Miss, has provided two of the toughest rebounding tests this year. And if Memphis and Southern Miss meet Thursday, the battle on the boards will be a key.

The Golden Eagles lead Conference USA in rebound margin at +7.7. Memphis is seventh in C-USA in rebound margin at +0.7. However, the Tigers hung with the Golden Eagles on the glass in the two regular season en-counters. Southern Miss entered the Jan. 19 game with an +8.1 rebounding margin, but Memphis was narrowly out-done on the glass 32-30. In the Feb. 12 meeting, the Golden Eagles brought an +8.2 re-bounding margin into the contest, but only posted a one-rebound edge over the Tigers, 37-36.

TO TURN OVER OR NOT TO TURN OVER? That is the question to be answered if the Ti-gers and Golden Eagles meet Thursday. The Tigers are Conference USA’s second-best squad in forcing turnovers, as their opponents average 15.1 turnovers per game. However, Southern Miss is C-USA’s best squad at taking care of the ball. The Golden Eagles average only 11.9 turnovers per contest. It was a split decision in the two regular season meetings. Memphis forced 14 Southern Miss turn-overs in the Jan. 19 game in Hattiesburg. But, in the Feb. 12 contest in Memphis, the Golden Eagles took care of the ball with only seven miscues.

BEWARE, THIEVES ON COURT THURSDAY Both teams are on high alert Thursday to pro-tect the ball if the Tigers and Green Wave meet in aConferenceUSATournamentquarterfinalcontest.Memphis and Tulane are No. 1 and 2, respectively, in Conference USA in steals and No. 2 and 1, respec-

Memphis vs.Tulane Notes

tively, in turnovers forced. In fact, six of Conference USA’s top steals lead-ers could be in action Thursday. Tulane’s Kendall Timmons is second in C-USA in steals at 2.0 spg, followed by teammates Kris Richard (fourth; 1.7 apg) and Jordan Callahan (ninth; 1.4 spg). For Mem-phis, Will Barton is seventh (1.6 spg) and Chris Crawford is seventh (1.6 spg), while Charles Car-mouche is 14th (1.3 spg). In the Mar. 5 match-up, Tulane won the steals battlewith10swipestoonlyfivebyMemphis.Bothsquads did a solid job of protecting the ball, as the Tigers had only 13 turnovers and the Green Wave 10 miscues.

PASTNER TO MEET A C-USA TOURNAMENT NEWBIE THURSDAY? It’s hard to believe that anyone is any “newer” to Conference USA than Memphis head coach Josh Pastner, but during the 2010-11 season, he faced fivefirst-yearheadcoachesintheleague.And,ifTu-lanewinsitsC-USATournamentfirst-roundgameWednesday, Pastner and the Tigers would face a C-USA Tournament “newbie” in Tulane head coach Ed Conroy Thursday. Conroy was hired during the 2010 off-season andisinhisfirstyearleadingtheGreenWavepro-gram after head coaching stints at The Citadel and



Francis Marion. Conroy also served as an assistant at Tennessee from 2003-05. During the regular season, Pastner had a 4-3 record in his C-USA “newbie” games versus East Carolina’s Jeff Lebo (1-1), Marshall’s Tom Herrion (1-1), Houston’s James Dickey (1-0), UTEP’s Tim Floyd (0-1) and Tulane’s Conroy (1-0).

TO THREE OR NOT TO THREE ... THAT IS THE QUESTION It will be a battle of wills at the three-point arc if Memphis meets Tulane in a Thursday Conference USATournamentquarterfinalgame.TheTigersareone of the league’s top defensive teams at the arc, while the Green Wave are one of the best three-point shooting teams in the conference. In overall games, Tulane averages nearly 7.0 treys made per game and shoots 36.6 percent from thearc(fifthinC-USA).Ontheotherside,Memphisis sixth in three-point defense at 33 percent. The contrast is more evident in Conference USA play only. Tulane leads the league in treys madepergame(8.2)andisthirdinthree-pointfieldgoal percentage at 37.6 percent. In C-USA games only, the Memphis defense is holding foes to 31.5 percent from the arc (fourth in C-USA).

VERSUS THE HOMETOWN SCHOOL... PART I If the Tigers meet Tulane Thursday, the game would be against a familiar opponent for one Ti-gers’ assistant coach. In fact, the school resides in his hometown of New Orleans, La.. Memphis assistant coach Glynn Cyprien would face his hometown school for a third time in his short tenure at Memphis if the Tigers meet theGreenWaveThursday.Inthefirsttwoencoun-ters with Tulane, the Tigers pulled out a 77-64 win in New Orleans in 2009-10 and a 66-61 victory in Memphis on Mar. 5, 2011. Cyprien played his collegiate years up the road in Baton Rouge, La., at Southern University from 1985-87. He helped lead the Jaguars to the 1987 NCAA Tournament.

VERSUS THE HOMETOWN SCHOOL... PART II Memphis assistant coach Glynn Cyprien isn’t the only Tiger that could meet his hometown school Thursday in the Conference USA Tournament quar-terfinal round. Junior Charles Carmouche also calls New Orleans, La., home and attended the Uni-versity of New Orleans two years (2008-09, 2009-10) before transferring to Memphis. In his two years at New Orleans, Carmouche played Tulane twice, and the Privateers won both encounters (49-39 in 2008-09; 51-50 in 2009-10). In the 2009-10 meeting, Carmouche had 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes. Infact,CarmouchegavehisPrivateerstheirfirstleadof the game at 49-48 with a free throw with 1:12 left. In the Mar. 5 game versus the Green Wave, Carmouche did not score, but had a key assist in the Tigers’ 15-3 second-half run to secure the win. With Memphis trailing 53-51 with six minutes left, Car-mouche assisted on D.J. Stephens’ dunk to tie the game at 53-all and give the Tigers momentum.

MEMPHIS IN C-USA TOURNEY The Tigers have played in every Conference USA Tournament since 1996, and have a 19-11 re-cord (.633 winning percentage) in the league’s post-season classic. This is the 10th time in the last 11 yearsthatMemphisearnedafirst-roundbyeinthetournament. The 2005 tournament was the only time inthelast11yearsthattheTigershadtoplayafirstround game. Memphis is this year’s C-USA Tournament No. 4 seed, and it is the third time the Tigers are the tour-nament’s fourth seed. The previous two times Mem-phis was a No. 4 seed was in the 1997 and 2001 C-USA Tournaments (1-2 record). Memphis has also been the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, No. 8 and No. 11 seed in past C-USA Tournaments. In Conference USA Tournaments held in Mem-phis (1996, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), the Tigers have a 17-3 mark (.850 winning percent-age). The Tigers won the championship in 2006, 2007,2008and2009,andreachedthesemifinalsin1996, the second round in 2000 and the champion-

While in Tucson, Pastner was a member of Wildcat squads that made 12-straight NCAA Tournament appear-ances and posted a 290-103 record (1997-2008). Pastner was a player on the 1996-97 Arizona team that won the NCAA title.

A GOOD OMEN? Well, no head coach will say that a two-game losing streak is a good omen. However, it may be for this Tigers’ team. After it dropped back-to-back games earlier this season to Marshall Jan. 29 and Tulsa Feb. 2, Mem-phis responded with four-consecutive clutch wins over Gonzaga, UCF, Southern Miss and UAB. If the same happens following recent two-game skid (Feb. 26 to UTEP, Mar. 2 to East Carolina), the Tigerswouldclosewitharegularseasonhomefi-nale win over Tulane and then win three Conference USA Tournament games. Memphis started what it hopes is another winning streak with a Mar. 5 win over Tulane (66-61).

NO TEXAS LOVE FOR THE TIGERS Well, head coach Josh Pastner calls Houston,

Texas, home, but his home state has shown no love for the Tigers in 2010-11. In its previous three trips to Texas this season, Memphis is 0-3 with losses at SMU Jan. 12, Rice Feb. 19 and UTEP Feb. 26.

MEMPHIS IN CONFERENCE USA The Tigers have an all-time record of 187-63 (.748 winning percentage) in Conference USA play. Memphis posted double-digit league wins in 13 of its 16 seasons in Conference USA, including a school-record and league-record tying 16 games in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. This year, Memphis won 10 Conference USA games (10-6 record) for its sixth-consecutive year withdouble-figureleaguevictories. In 2009-10, theTigers finished second in theConference 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. MemphiswonitsfirstoutrightC-USAregularseason title in 2005-06, and followed that with out-right 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 won three National Division titles in 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2002-03, and captured two league White Division championships in 1995-96 and 1996-97.

TIGERS POST 13TH DOUBLE-DIGIT WIN SEASON IN C-USA With their 66-61 win over Tulane Mar. 5, the Tigers added another double-digit winning league campaign to its history. It is Memphis’ 13th year of double-digit wins in Conference USA, and the program’s sixth-consecutive year with double-digit wins in C-USA action. In 2007-08, Memphis posted its 10th season of double-digit league wins, which set the C-USA re-cord. Before the shift in C-USA prior to the 2005-06 campaign, the Tigers were tied for the second-most, double-digit conference win seasons with seven.

MOST WINS FIRST TWO YEARS Of course, head coach Josh Pastner will pass on credit to the current players, former players, cur-rent 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 coachinTigerhoopshistoryforthefirsttwoyears.The following shows the head coaches’ win totals forthefirsttwoseasonssinceWorldWarII:

PASTNER HAS BACK-TO-BACK 20S With the Tigers’ 62-58 victory over UAB Feb. 16, it was not only Memphis’ 11th-consecutive sea-son with 20 wins, but also head coach Josh Past-ner’s second-straight, 20-win campaign in as many seasons. Pastner is only the fourth head coach in Mem-phishoopshistorytohave20-winseasonsinhisfirsttwo years at the helm. The other three coaches to do so were Wayne Yates, Larry Finch and John Cali-pari, and the following shows that:

MARCH IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT The month of March is what all college bas-ketball teams play for, so squads want to be playing their best at that time. The Tigers have had a long history of success in March, and they hope to con-tinue that this season. Since 1999-2000, Memphis have an impres-sive 62-23 record (.729 winning percentage) when playing in March. The Tigers’ record is even better in March the last seven seasons, as they went 43-12 (.782 winning percentage) since 2004-05.

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.

QUICKEST TO 45 WINS With the Tigers’ 69-58 victory over Houston Feb. 22, Josh Pastner recorded the 45th victory in his short tenure at Memphis. He reached the 45-win plateau the third-quickest of any Memphis head coach since World War II. The following lists the Tiger head coaches that won 45 games the quickest (since World War II):

CLOSE CALLS UNDER PASTNER The Tigers played another nail-biter in their 66-61 Conference USA win over Tulane Mar. 5, 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 29 single-digit outcome games, and have a 21-8 record (.724 winning percentage) in those contests. In games decided by four or fewer points, Mem-phis is 11-3, winning 11 of its last 12. This season, the Tigers have a 14-2 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. Mem-phis has played 16 single-digit outcome games this

year and has a 14-2 record in those contests. However, the 16 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 fol-lowing lists the top-10 years with single-digit out-come games and the top-10 years with single-digit wins (since 1970-71; research by Matt Dillon):

In research done by University of North Dakota men’s hoops contact and former Memphis media re-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 ex-act, the Tigers are getting 63.5 percent of their points from freshmen.

TIGERS SEVENTH YOUNGEST IN NCAA No one wants to hear how young the 2010-11 Memphis team is anymore with the start of the post-season. 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. The next youngest team in Conference USA is UCF at 102. Thursday’s foe — either Southern Miss or Tulane — brings a more experienced squad to thefloor.Tulane is thenation’s256th-youngestteam (90th most-experienced), while Southern Miss is the country’s 289th-youngest team (57th most-experienced).

In what will go down as the Tigers’ biggest come-back in the last 40 seasons, Charles Carmouche buried a three-pointer 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 Craw-ford intercepted the Golden Eagles’ inbounds pass on the ensuing possession to seal the win. Memphis was down by 18 points at 29-11 with 7:49 togo in thefirsthalfandcameback towin thegame, 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 doubledigits(48-37)fiveminutesintothesecondhalf. That’s when Memphis chipped away. A 9-3 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 timea16-4spurttotaketheirfirstleadofthegameat69-66 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 gave Memphis the lead. After a D.J.

WITHERSPOON RETURNS TO THE COURT ForthefirsttimesinceJan.12,Wesley Wither-spoon saw game action in the Tigers’ 62-58 win over UAB Feb. 16. In the last six games, Witherspoon av-eraged 6.8 points and 3.4 boards, while shooting 50 percentfromthefieldand73.7percentfromthefreethrow line. He had a solid performance in Memphis’ game versus Houston Feb. 22 with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. Before his most recent six appearances, 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 Mar-shall 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 re-sult 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. Itwashisfirst fullpracticesincebefore theJan. 12 SMU game. On Dec. 10, Witherspoon underwent surgery for

a right knee meniscal tear and was expected to miss uptofiveweeksofaction.He,however,returned13days later and played in the Tigers’ Dec. 23 game versus Georgetown.

“BIG SHOT” BARTON Robert Horry went down in NBA lore as “Big Shot Bob” because of his ability to hit the clutch bas-ket. 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 in February and March:

2010-11 MEETINGVS. TULANE

Memphis 66 • Tulane 61Mar. 5, 2011 • Memphis

Though it was “Senior Day” at FedExForum, two freshmen led the way for Memphis as Tarik Black and Will Barton combined for 39 of the Tigers’ 66 points en route to a 66-61 Conference USA victory over Tu-lane.ThegamewastheregularseasonhomefinaleforMemphis. Black finished the contest with his first careerdouble-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. The 24 points and 11 boards both were ca-reer bests for Black. Barton added 15 points on 7-of-14 shooting, to go alongwith six assists, five reboundsand three blocks. Withthewin,theTigerssecuredafirst-roundbyein the Conference USA Tournament, but the victory was anything but easy. After trailing 31-29 at halftime, the Tigers were down by seven points at 53-46 with 8:43 to play. Memphis, though, responded with an 11-2 run over the next 4:16 to take the lead for good at 57-55 with 4:27 left. A Joe Jackson three-pointer started the Tigers’ spurt, and a Chris Crawford trifecta from the right corner closed the run and gave the Tigers a 57-55 advantage that they didn’t relinquish. Memphis pushed the lead to as many as six at 64-58 on two Jackson free throws and an Antonio Barton triple. Tulane’s Johnny Mayhane, however, cut the Tigers’leadinhalfat64-61with:49leftonhisfifththree-pointer of the game. After a missed jumper from Mayhane on the next Green Wave possession, Crawford found Black streak-

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE For the sixth time this season, a Memphis player recorded a double-double. The latest was freshman forward Tarik Black’s 24-point, 11-rebound perfor-mance in the Tigers’ 66-61 win over Tulane Mar. 5. The 24 points and 11 boards both were career highs for Black.

BARTON A LATE-GAMER If head coach Josh Pastner had his choice, he’d prefer Will Barton get his motor going a little earli-er in games.

TSAFACK REINJURED KNEE EARLY JANU-ARY; WILL APPLY FOR MEDICAL REDSHIRT With Wesley Witherspoon’s surgery and An-gel Garcia’s decision to play professional ball over-seas at semester’s end, head coach Josh Pastner decided to take the redshirt off freshman Hippolyte TsafackonDec.12.Inhisfirstregularseasonactionversus Austin Peay Dec. 16, Tsafack played 10 min-utes and had three points and one blocked shot. He also played four minutes versus Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Dec. 20 and two minutes versus No. 10/9 Georgetown Dec. 23.

In a Dec. 27 practice, Tsafack suffered a knee injury, but a Dec. 28 MRI was negative. Tsafack, who had seen practice time right after the new year, reinjured his knee in early Janaury and is out for the rest of the season. Tsafack will apply for a medical redshirt at the end of the 2010-11 campaign.

TIGER SUCCESS AT FEDEXFORUM After a roughfirst year at their newhome in2004-05, the Tigers bounced back quite nicely and has made FedExForum one of the toughest arenas for opponents to play in. The Tigers have a 127-15 overall record (.894 winning percentage) at FedEx-Forum. Since the 2005 Conference USA Tourna-ment, Memphis has won 117 of its last 126 home games (.929 winning percentage).

WIN NO. 125 AT FEDEXFORUM With its 62-58 win over UAB Feb. 16, Mem-phis posted its 125th win at FedExForum. The Ti-gers’ current record at FedExForum is 127-15. Memphis is averaging 18.1 wins per season at FedExForum (seven seasons). The following lists the Tigers’ homecourts since World War II, the overall record and average wins per season:

Home Arena Record/Yrs. Avg. Wins/Yr.FedExForum 127-15 (2005-pres) 18.1/7 yrsThe Pyramid 173-42 (1992-2004) 13.3/13 yrsMid-South Col. 343-90 (1965-91) 13.2/26 yrsFieldhouse 125-17 (1952-64) 10.4/12 yrs

BEST HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE Well, Memphis head coach Josh Pastner will say the Tigers have the best homecourt advantage due to the great Tiger Nation fanbase. But, he also has some numbers to back him up. Since 2004-05, Memphis has won 127 games at FedExForum, the most home wins in the coun-try over that span of time. The following are the top three programs with the most home wins since 2004-05 (credit to Texas A&M SID for compiling this list):

GAME #1#19/19 Memphis 104 • Centenary 40

Nov. 12, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.Global Sports Challenge

In a game that it dominated throughout, Memphis used scoring from 10 different players and a deluge of trifectas to down Centenary College 104-40 in front of 17,792 fans in the regular season opener. 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 as-sists in 23 minutes of action. Fellow freshman Chris Crawford was also perfect from the field, finishing with 16 points on a perfect 6-of-6 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. Sophomore Drew Barham finished with career-highs in both points (13) and reb1 full force, holding the Gents to 26.1 shooting from the field, including just 2-of-15 from beyond the arc. Memphis also forced 28 turnovers, con-verting them into 37 points. The biggest difference in the game for Memphis was its bench which scored 63 of the Tigers’ 104 points. None of the Gents managed double figures, with a trio of players finishing with six points (Jeron Trotman, Aaron Harwell, and Logan Lowery.) Trotman led Centenary with five rebounds, while Harwell added three steals.

GAME #2#19/19 Memphis 72 • Miami (Fla.) 68

Nov. 15, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

In a game that had 58 fouls, 13 ties and 15 lead chang-es, No. 19/19 Memphis scrapped its way to a 72-68 non-conference victory over Miami (Fla.) to tip off ESPN’s 24 Hours of Hoops in front of 17,783 raucous fans at FedEx-Forum. 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 be-fore 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 a r m o u c h e 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 u r r i c a n e center Reggie Johnson, who was limited in the first half due to foul trouble, found a rhythm after the break and fin-ished 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 per-cent, 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.

Global Sports Challenxge

Wesley Witherspoon netted his first career double-double 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 Ti-gers 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 out-rebounded UCF by 14 on Feb. 10 of last season.

GAME #4#19/19 Memphis 70 • LSU 61Nov. 21, 2010 • Tupelo, Miss.

Global Sports Challenge

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 60-57 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 ex-tended 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.

GAME #5#14/15 Memphis 102 • Tennessee Martin 80

Nov. 23, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.Global Sports Challenge

Will Coleman scored a career-high 20 points and add-ed seven rebounds off the bench to lead No. 14/15 Mem-phis 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, fin-ished with 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, and ju-nior 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 Mem-phis 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. Ten-nessee Martin finished the game shooting 49.2 percent (29-of-59) from the floor, including 8-of-17 from beyond the arc.

GAME #6#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. Arkan-sas 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 Mem-phis’ 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, con-verting a three-point play to give Memphis a 74-69 advan-tage and put the game out of reach. Jackson finished with 10 points, joining Barton (20), Witherspoon (10) and Antonio Barton (1) as the only Ti-gers 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.

GAME #7#14/15Memphis 77 • Western Kentucky 61


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 above-the-rim plays en route to leading the Tigers to a 77-61 vic-tory 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 re-bounds, 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 min-utes 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 ca-reer-best four rejections.

GAME #8#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 81-68 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 48-39 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 con-test. Kansas went on a 10-1 run capped by an Elijah John-son 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, includ-ing 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Black and Witherspoon added eight points apiece, but went at com-bined 6-of-21 from the floor. The Tigers forced 22 Jayhawk turnovers, but were outworked on the glass 44-31.

GAME #9#18/19 Memphis 70 • Austin Peay 68 (OT)


Despite trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half, Memphis fought back to force overtime and eventu-ally 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 An-tonio 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 Gover-nors. Crawford nailed two trifectas and assisted on another by Will Barton, as the Tigers jumped out to a 68-62 advan-tage with just under a minute to play. Austin Peay refused to lay down, tough, as triples from Melvin Baker and Justin Blake brought the Gover-nors 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).

GAME #10#16/17 Memphis 68 • Texas A&M-CC 63


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 Fe-dExForum. 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 22-20 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 advan-tage 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 sec-onds remaining to make it a two-possession game at 65-61, 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 perfor-mance against Austin Peay, was the only other Tiger to finish in double figures. The junior transfer from New Or-leans finished with 12 points and six rebounds in 31 min-utes. 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.

GAME #11#10/9 Georgetown 86 • #16/17 Memphis 69


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 re-bounds 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 clos-er 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 per-cent 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.

GAME #12#21/22 Memphis 88 • Lipscomb 70


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 88-70 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 Cole-man 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 as-sists (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 advan-tage 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 per-cent from the three-point line (11-of-22). The Tigers re-corded 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, man-aged to hit only 19 percent from the arc (4-of-21). The Memphis defense forced 15 Bisons turnovers, but the Tigers committed 18 misuces.

GAME #13#21/22 Memphis 91 • Tennessee St. 86

Jan. 2, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Antonio Barton scored a career-high 24 points, in-cluding 20 in the second half, and No. 21/22 Memphis sur-vived 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 at-tempts in the first 20 minutes of play. Memphis countered with solid offensive sets in the halfcourt and used its ad-vantage 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 af-ter 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 Mem-phis 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.

GAME #14 Tennessee 104 • #21/22 Memphis 84

Jan. 5, 2011 • Knoxville, Tenn.

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 (30-of-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 Ten-nessee 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 clos-ing 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-dou-ble effort, as the Volunteers outrebounded the Tigers 41-33 and scored 42 points in the paint. Scotty Hopson went 6-of-12 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 Bar-ton finished with nine points and eight points, respectively.

GAME #15#21/22 Memphis 61 • East Carolina 58


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 Tennes-see, defense was a focal point, as Memphis held the Pi-rates 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 and-one 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 dra-ma, 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 fig-ures 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. Ja-mar Abrams (15) and Young (10) were the only other ECU players to finish in double figures.

GAME #16SMU 64 • Memphis 58

Jan. 12, 2011 • Dallas, Texas

The host SMU Mustangs used a 17-0 second-half run and shot 56.3 percent from beyond the arc en route to up-setting 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, how-ever, 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 58-50 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 Wither-spoon was the only other Memphis player to finish in dou-ble 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.

GAME #17Memphis 77 • Marshall 61


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 open-ing half, while dominating the Thundering Herd on the glass 21-12. Memphis took a 45-28 advantage into half-time. The Thundering Herd never got back into the game after going without a field goal for over six minutes dur-ing 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. Ste-phens and a Carmouche triple on the next two Tiger pos-sessions 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 Cole-man 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 de-fense held Marshall to 37 percent shooting from the floor and 22.2 percent from the three-point arc.

GAME #18Memphis 76 • Southern Miss 75Jan. 19, 2011 • Hattiesburg, Miss.

In what will go down as the Tigers’ biggest comeback in the last 40 seasons, Charles Carmouche buried a three-pointer 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 inter-cepted the Golden Eagles’ inbounds pass on the ensuing possession to seal the win. Memphis was down by 18 points at 29-11 with 7:49 to go in the first half and came back to win the game, mark-ing 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 9-3 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 Bar-ton, who netted a team-high 15 points, hit the three-pointer that gave 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 pin-point, 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 per-cent; USM, 51.0 percent).

GAME #20Memphis 77 • UCF 61


Will Barton scored 17 points and Joe Jackson added 12 points as Memphis turned in a solid all-around perfor-mance and sent UCF to its fifth-straight loss 77-61 in Con-ference USA action at FedExForum. Barton, playing in front of his father for the first time this season at FedExForum, didn’t disappoint. The fresh-man wing scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half en route to leading Memphis to a 47-28 opening-half advan-tage. 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 comple-ment 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-con-secutive 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.

GAME #21Marshall 85 • Memphis 70

Jan. 29, 2011 • Huntington, W.Va.

DeAndre Kane led four Thundering Herd players in double figures with a game-high tying 20 points to lift Mar-shall 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 Mar-shall 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 ex-tended 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 Mar-shall 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 min-utes, 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.

GAME #19Memphis 76 • UAB 73 (OT)

Jan. 22, 2011 • Birmingham, Ala.

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 fin-ished 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 con-tested 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 per-cent) 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 C-USA in three-point field goal percentage defense, Mem-phis held UAB without a trifecta until the 13:32 mark in the second half. The Blazers finished the contest just 2-of-23 from deep.

GAME #22Tulsa 68 • Memphis 65

Feb. 2, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

The Memphis Tigers, owners of the nation’s best re-cord 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. How-ever, 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. Mem-phis nursed a three-point lead at 30-27 into halftime. Memphis started out strong in the second half, stretch-ing 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 min-utes 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 64-61. 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 in-bounds with :05 left. His and his brother’s desperation three-point attempts both came up short.

GAME #23Memphis 62 • Gonzaga 58

Feb. 5, 2011 • Spokane, Wash.

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 Bulldogs-fought 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, Car-mouche 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, finish-ing 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.

GAME #24Memphis 63 • UCF 62

Feb. 9, 2011 • Orlando, Fla.

Antonio Barton scored 14 points, including the game-winning 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 Mar-cus 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, giv-ing 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. Jor-dan’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 Cole-man 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 hold-ing 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.

GAME #26Memphis 62 • UAB 58


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 pro-gram 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 sec-onds, the Tigers’ lead was down to one at 59-58. Jackson answered with two free throws for Mem-phis 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 Bar-ton 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 min-utes.

GAME #27Rice 67 • Memphis 52

Feb. 19, 2011 • Houston, Texas

Rice opened the game on a 13-6 run, and the Owls never looked back in their 67-52 Conference USA victory over Memphis at Tudor Fieldhouse. The win was Rice’s first over the Tigers in the short eight-game series. Tamir Jackson led the Owls with 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 7-of-10 from the charity stripe, and big man Arsalan Kazemi added a double-double performance of 11 points and 12 rebounds. Connor Frizzelle scored 12 points. Memphis struggled getting open looks in its halfcourt sets in the first half, and the Tigers finished the game just 17-of-48 (35.4 percent) from the floor, including 3-of-17 from beyond the arc (17.6 percent). Antonio Barton led Memphis in scoring with 14 points and was the only Tiger to finish in double figures. Antonio’s brother, Will, finished with eight points, and Joe Jackson added nine points. D.J. Stephens led Memphis on the glass with seven rebounds. He also had three blocked shots and six points in 19 minutes of action. After Rice opened the game with a 13-6 spurt, Mem-phis responded to cut the Owls’ lead to three at 18-15 after an Antonio Barton triple. Rice, though, countered with a 9-0 run of its own to extend the lead to double digits at 27-17 with 4:31 left in the first half.. The Tigers appeared poised to make a run early in the second half after a layup by Wesley Witherspoon cut the deficit to 39-32 with 14:31 to play. But again, the Owls an-swered. Rice reeled off a 7-0 run over a four-minute span to extend its lead to 14 points at 46-32 with 10:30 left. Jackson capped the Rice run with a trifecta. Witherspoon, playing in just his second game after re-turning from his knee injury, finished with eight points and six rebounds. Chris Crawford dished out a team-high three assists. Rice shot 22-of-50 (44 percent) from the floor and made 19-of-29 attempts (65.5 percent) from the free throw line. The Owls also outrebounded the Tigers 39-30 and turned 19 Tiger turnovers into 14 points in transition.

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 ex-tended 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 Cole-man 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 four-straight 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 25-13 on a Flowers’ jumper at the 9:59 mark. The Tigers an-swered 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-re-bound Memphis by a slim 37-36 margin.

GAME #28Memphis 69 • Houston 58


Charles Carmouche and Antonio Barton each bur-ied clutch three-pointers on back-to-back possessions with less than three minutes to play to lift Memphis past Houston 69-58 in Conference USA action at Fe-dExForum. After dropping a 67-52 decision on the road to Rice Feb. 19, the Tigers looked to rebound against a Houston team that had lost seven of its last eight games coming in. Memphis did just that, as the Tigers re-ceived double-digit scoring efforts from four different players and 24 points from the bench. Tarik Black led the way on the inside for the Ti-gers, scoring 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field. Wesley Witherspoon added 13 points, as Mem-phis outscored Houston 30-22 in the paint and forced the Cougars into 16 miscues. Carmouche and Barton finished with 12 points and 10 points, respectively, as the duo came up with the clutch shots to seal the game in the closing minutes. After two free throws from Kirk Van Slyke narrowed the Tigers’ lead to 57-55 with 4:44 to play, Carmouche took a pass on the right wing and buried the triple to put Memphis up 60-55. Black missed a layup on the next Memphis pos-session, but Barton tracked down the long offensive rebound before gathering himself and making his only trifecta of the game. Barton’s shot put the Tigers ahead 63-55 with 1:58 to play, and the Tigers made free throws down the stretch to ice the victory. Memphis finished the game 22-of-49 (44.9 per-cent) from the floor, including 5-of-16 (31.3 percent) from long range. The Tigers outrebounded the Cougars 34-25, including 24-10 in the second half. The Tigers’ defense held Houston to 39.6 percent shooting from the floor and 29.4 percent from the three-point line. Memphis recorded 16 assists on 22 made field goals. Alandise Harris led Houston with 16 points and seven boards. Maurice McNeil and Zamal Nixon each added 11 points. The Memphis victory was also Pastner’s 45th win as the Tigers’ head coach. The 45 wins are the third-most for a Memphis head coach in his first two seasons, trailing John Calipari (48) and Larry Finch (46).

GAME #29UTEP 74 • Memphis 47

Feb. 26, 2011 • El Paso, Texas

After Memphis took a 12-9 lead seven minutes into the game, UTEP closed the half on a 24-8 run to seize control of the game en route to a 74-47 Confer-ence USA victory over the Tigers at the Don Haskins Center. Memphis cut the lead to 41-33 at the 14:46 mark of the second half after back-to-back layups from Tarik Black, but UTEP countered with a 13-1 run to take a 54-34 lead with 7:16 to play and put the game out of reach. After Black’s layup at the 14:46 mark, the Tigers went 10:02 without a field goal until a dunk by Will Coleman with 2:44 to play. Memphis natives Randy Culpepper and Jeremy Williams led the UTEP scoring attack with 20 points and 14 points, respectively, as the Miners defeated the Tigers in El Paso for the first time since the 1971-72 season. John Bohannon added 15 points off the bench for the Miners, who shot 26-of-53 (49.1 percent) from the floor and 6-of-14 (42.9 percent) from long range. Will Barton was the only Memphis player to finish in double figures, scoring 10 points on 4-of-8 shoot-ing in 21 minutes. Black added eight points and seven rebounds. Joe Jackson, who scored the first five points of the game for the Tigers, finished with eight points be-fore fouling out with over 11 minutes left in the game. Charles Carmouche and Antonio Barton each added with five points and two rebounds in the Tigers’ worst loss of the season. Memphis committed a season-high 22 turnovers which UTEP turned into 22 points. Both teams struggled from the free throw line, with the Tigers going 12-of-21 (57.1 percent) and the Miners making 16-of-29 (55.2 percent).

GAME #30East Carolina 68 • Memphis 57Mar. 2, 2011 • Greenville, N.C.

East Carolina used a decisive 19-5 second-half run to pull away and defeat Memphis 68-57 in Conference USA action at Minges Coliseum/Williams Arena. The game was the Pirates’ “Senior Night” contest. Antonio Barton connected on a runner at the end of the first half to tie the game at 28-all, but the second half was a different story. D.J. Stephens gave the Ti-gers their final lead of the game at 42-41 on a steal and breakaway jam at the 11:28 mark before East Carolina pulled away. The Pirates found their range and connected on back-to-back-to-back triples to take a 60-47 advantage with 3:31 remaining. Memphis cut the lead to single digits (62-54) on a pair of free throws from Chris Craw-ford at the 1:15 mark, but East Carolina responded with four free throws of its own to put the game out of reach. Jontae Sherrod finished with a game-high 28 points to lead the Pirates, making 6-of-13 shots from the field and 14-of-20 from the free throw line. Darrius Morrow and Jamar Abrams each scored 11 points as the Pirates defeated Memphis for the first time in program history. Barton was the only Memphis player to finish in double figures, scoring 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting in a career-high 35 minutes.

GAME #31Memphis 66 • Tulane 61

Mar. 5, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Though it was “Senior Day” at FedExForum, two freshmen led the way for Memphis as Tarik Black and Will Barton combined for 39 of the Tigers’ 66 points en route to a 66-61 Conference USA victory over Tulane. The game was the regular season home finale for Mem-phis. Black finished the contest with his first career dou-ble-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. The 24 points and 11 boards both were career bests for Black. Barton added 15 points on 7-of-14 shooting, to go along with six assists, five rebounds and three blocks. With the win, the Tigers secured a first-round bye in the Conference USA Tournament, but the victory was anything but easy. After trailing 31-29 at halftime, the Tigers were down by seven points at 53-46 with 8:43 to play. Memphis, though, responded with an 11-2 run over the next 4:16 to take the lead for good at 57-55 with 4:27 left. A Joe Jackson three-pointer started the Tigers’ spurt, and a Chris Crawford trifecta from the right corner closed the run and gave the Tigers a 57-55 advantage that they didn’t relinquish. Memphis pushed the lead to as many as six at 64-58 on two Jackson free throws and an Antonio Barton triple. Tulane’s Johnny Mayhane, however, cut the Ti-gers’ lead in half at 64-61 with :49 left on his fifth three-pointer of the game. After a missed jumper from Mayhane on the next Green Wave possession, Crawford found Black streak-ing down the floor for a ferocious jam to put Memphis ahead 66-61 and seal the victory. Mayhane led Tulane with 15 points, making 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. All five of the Green Wave’s start-ers finished in double-digits, as Tulane made an impres-sive 9-of-18 from beyond the arc. All 61 Green Wave points came from the Tulane starters. The Tigers received a huge lift from their bench, as the Memphis reserves combined for 38 points. Memphis also exploited its size advantage down low by scoring 42 points in the paint and out-rebounding the Green Wave 30-21.
