• Former Tigers head coach Moe Iba served as an assistant coach on Don Haskins’ staff in that NCAA championship year.

• Following that season, Iba took over the Mem-phis program, and his fi rst year at the helm was the 1966-67 campaign. Iba coached four years (1967-70) and had a 37-65 overall record.

two meetings, the Miners had the upper hand in terms of experience.

• With the C-USA Tournament title, Memphis earned the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament, where the Tigers dropped a 77-75 decision to Arizona in the second round.

Conference USA mark (third place). • The Miners defeated Marshall and Tulsa en

route to the C-USA Tournament title game. UTEP dropped a 67-66 decision to Memphis in the C-USA Tournament championship contest.

• UTEP received a bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), but lost in the fi rst round at New Mexico 69-57.

SCOUTING THE MINERS • UTEP enters

Saturday’s en-counter with a 12-13 overall record and a 5-6 league mark.

• The Miners bring a two-game win streak into Saturday’s C-USA clash, but prior to their last two victories, they lost four-straight to Tu-lane, Houston, Rice and UAB (three of four on the road).

• Sophomore Michael Perez leads four UTEP players averaging double fi gures at 12.1 ppg.

• Gabriel McCulley (11.8 ppg), John Bohannon (11.3 ppg) and Julian Washburn (11.2 ppg) also average double digits for the Miners.

Joe Jackson stepped to the line with seven seconds left and earned his nickname “King of Memphis” by calmly sinking two free throws to lift Memphis past UTEP 67-66 and give the Tigers’ their fi fth C-USA Championship crown. In a game that Memphis never led until the last free throw by Jackson, the Tigers battled back after being down 62-50 with 6:13 remaining. Christian Polk hit consecutive triples to extend the Miners’ lead to 12 before an old-fashioned three-point play from Jackson sparked a 9-0 Tigers run to get them back in the game. Gabriel McCuley converted a dunk for UTEP to extend the lead to 64-59 with 2:41 to play, but Jackson again answered with another three-point play on the other end to close the gap to 64-62. Julyan Stone missed the second of two free throws on the Miners’ next possession, and Will Barton found Chris Crawford, who nailed a deep trifecta from the top of the key in transition to tie the game at 65-all. McCulley split a pair of free throws on the other end, and Memphis called time-out with 11.9 seconds left, trailing 66-65. Will Barton passed the ball into Jackson, who immediately drove left on the 6-foot-7 Stone and drew the foul before stepping to the line and sinking both free throws. UTEP had one more opportunity inbounding the ball from under its own basket with 2.5 seconds left, but Polk’s attempt from long range clanked off the front of the rim, and the Tigers se-cured C-USA’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tour-nament.

Jackson, who was named MVP of the C-USA Tournament, fi nished the game with 17 points by making 8-of-10 from the free throw line. He also had seven assists and one steal. Fellow Memphis natives came up huge along-side Jackson. Crawford knocked down fi ve three-pointers and scored 15 points, and Tarik Black recorded his second career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Last Meeting • 2010-11Memphis 67 • UTEP 66

Mar. 11, 2011 • El Paso, Texas • C-USA Tour. Title Game

• In last season’s two meetings, UTEP had sev-en four-year players on its roster. On the other hand, Memphis had no four-year players.

• However, the experience factor has turned the other way in 2011-12, and the following shows that:

DO YOU REMEMBER?... PART 1 • Well, since the signifi cant event happened just

two seasons ago, there is a great chance most of Tiger Nation remembers.

• In January of 2010, UTEP posted a 72-67 vic-tory over Memphis at FedExForum (Jan. 20, 2010).

• The Miners’ victory ended Memphis’ Confer-ence USA win streaks at 52-straight regular season games and 64-straight overall contests (includes postseason).

• The 52-straight regular season conference wins are an NCAA Division I record, while the

64-consecutive overall league victories tied the NCAA Division I mark (tied with Kentucky).

DO YOU REMEMBER?... PART 2 • On Saturday, Tim Floyd is facing the Tigers for

the third time as the UTEP head coach. How-ever, Floyd coached against Memphis prior to coming to C-USA in the 2007-08 campaign.

• The Tigers won that encounter, a 62-58 over-time victory. At the time, Memphis was ranked No. 2 in the national polls, while the Floyd’s Trojans were ranked No. 24.

FLOYD NOT A BLUFF CITY NEWBIE • Of course, longtime Tigers fans know UTEP

head coach Tim Floyd is not a newbie to Mem-phis.

• But, it’s been awhile since he coached against the Tigers in the Bluff City — as in 22 seasons ago.

• In the 1989-90 campaign, Floyd brought his New Orleans squad to face Memphis at Mid-South Coliseum.

• Floyd’s Privateers played a close game with the No. 17-ranked Tigers before dropping a 59-55 decision on Dec. 20, 1989.

PASTNER VS. FLOYD — A PAC-10 RE-UNION • Saturday’s contest is only the third between

Josh Pastner and Tim Floyd as head coaches, but the two have a history from their days in the Pacifi c-10 Conference.

• Pastner was an assistant on the Arizona staff from 2003-08, while Floyd was the Southern Cal head coach from 2006-09.

• The Wildcats and Trojans met six times from 2006-08, and Southern Cal won four of those six games.

• Saturday’s game is the second time this season Pastner is matching wits with a former Pac-10 coaching colleague. Earlier this year, Pastner faced Rice’s Ben Braun (formerly at Califor-nia).

THE LAST MEETINGIN MEMPHIS (2009-10)

UTEP 72 • Memphis 67Jan. 20, 2010 • FedExForum

After an amazing run of 1,419 days and 64 games, Memphis fi nally met its match in UTEP, fall-ing to the Miners72-67. The loss ended Memphis’ streak of 64-consecutive victories in Conference USA, including 52 regular season wins in a row. Elliot Williams led Memphis with 23 points on 7-of-16 shooting, and Wesley Witherspoon added 12 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers lost their fi rst Conference USA match-up since falling to UAB on Mar. 2, 2006. UTEP was led by a dominant homecoming per-formance by Bluff City native Jeremy Williams, who tallied 18 points and 12 boards for the Miners. Lou-isville transfer Derrick Caracter chipped in 14 points, and Randy Culpepper added 13 points. The fi rst half consisted of runs from both teams, with neither being able to pull away. Memphis ex-tended its lead to 30-22 with 2:20 remaining, but UTEP closed the half on a 9-4 spurt to slice the lead to 34-31 at the break. The Tigers seemed poised to pull away early in the second half, extending their lead to 40-34 in the opening minutes. The Miners, though, did not fold. UTEP went on a 9-0 run to retake the lead 43-40 with 14:13 remaining. The Miners extended their lead to as many as seven late in the second half when a three-point buck-et by Jeremy Williams put the visitors ahead 63-56 with over fi ve minutes to play. Memphis came back once again and trailed by only three after a Sallie trifecta made the score 70-67 with just 49 seconds left. The Tigers stopped UTEP on the ensuing possession, giving them the ball down by three with 19 seconds remaining. Memphis struggled to get any shooters open, though, and a turnover with 4.3 seconds left sealed the Tigers’ fate.

Memphis kicked off the season in impressive fashion with a 97-81 win over Bel-mont in the opening game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational. Three players scored at least 20 points, including 22 from Wesley Witherspoon, who was a perfect 8-of-8 from the fi eld.

Will Barton was the Tigers’ leading scorer with a career-high 23 points, while Joe Jackson added 20 points on 6-of-7 shooting. Freshman Adonis Thomas shined in his Tigers debut with 12 points. The Tigers shot nearly 59 percent from the fi eld. A Belmont team that lost to No. 6 Duke by one point in its opener Nov. 11 managed just 39 percent shooting and had 18 turnovers. Despite an 11 a.m. tip, the Tigers showed no signs of sluggishness, as Memphis jumped out to a 16-4 lead. J.J. Mann ended the Bruins drought with a 7-0 scoring spurt of his own just before the 12-minute mark, and an-other Belmont free throw at 11:36 cut the lead to 16-12. From there, the Bruins matched Memphis bucket-for-bucket to stay within three at 39-36 with three min-utes remaining. However, it was defensive pressure that allowed the Tigers to score seven of the last 10 points in the half and take a 46-39 lead into the locker room. The Tigers began the second half much as they did the fi rst, with a 5-of-5 shooting start and a 13-2 run to take a 59-44 lead with 17 minutes left to play. A jumper from Thomas at the 11:39 mark gave Memphis a com-manding 72-54 lead. That would be the last Memphis fi eld goal for al-most four minutes as Belmont went on a 12-1 run once again assisted by the free throw line to cut the defi cit to just seven points at 73-66. The Bruins refused to go away, however, as they used three-straight treys to keep it close and still trail by just seven points at 84-77 with less than four minutes left in the game. But, the Tigers kept their composure and came alive down the stretch with a 12-2 run to push the lead back to double digits at 96-79 with one minute left.

Tigers Tails• Josh Pastner won his 50th career

game with the win and is fastest coach in Memphis history to get to the 50-win milestone.

• Memphis scored 97 points, the most in a game since putting up 102 points against Tennes-see Martin in a 22-point win last season (11-23-10)

• For the game, Memphis shot 58.6 percent (34-of-58). The Tigers last shot over 50 percent in last season’s Conference USA Tournament-semifi nal win, 76-56, over East Carolina, when they went 27-of-53 (50.9 per-cent) from the fl oor.

Charles Carmouche’s team-high 14 points weren’t enough for No. 8/8 Memphis to overcome a strong shooting effort from the No. 15/15 Michigan Wolverines, as the Tigers fell 73-61 in their fi rst round game of the 2011 Maui Invitational.

Michigan shot 54 percent (27-of-50) from the fl oor while Memphis only connected on 33.3 percent (19-of-57) of its fi eld goal attempts. The Tigers were 4-of-21 (19.0 percent) from three, compared to 6-of-20 (30.0 percent) for the Wolverines. The Wolverines started the game on fi re, connecting on 7 of their fi rst 8 shots. Mean-while, the Tigers started a meager 3-of-10 to begin the game. Trailing 18-9 at the time, Memphis responded with a 10-2 run, on 4-of-5 shooting, to cut the Michigan lead down to a point. Memphis eventually tied the game and took the lead, 27-25, on three-straight layups by Carmouche. However, Michigan did not get rattled and scored ten unanswered points over the fi nal 3:02 to enter halftime with a 37-31 lead. After a sensational shooting performance against Belmont, Memphis shot only 35.5 percent (11-of-31), including a paltry 15.4 percent (2-of-13) from three-point range in the fi rst half. In contrast, Michigan shot 60 per-cent (15-of-25) from the fi eld and 30 percent (3-of-10) from three. A Will Barton three-point shot at the 15:32 mark of the second half pulled the Tigers within fi ve, 46-41, but the Wolverines responded with a 9-1 run over a span of 3:52 to regain control of the game. Michigan steadily increased its lead to as many as 14 points with 5:32 remaining. The Tigers used a 7-2 run to cut the lead to single digits, only to have the Wolver-ines again push the lead out to as many as 15 points. Memphis protected the ball, only committing eight turnovers, while forcing Michigan into 13 miscues, but Michigan fi nished with a decided advantage, 38-29, on the boards.

Tigers Tails

• Memphis and Michigan are now tied in the all-time series 2-2. The Wolverine victory snapped a two-game winning streak by the Tigers.

• This is the fi rst meeting between the two schools since 1996 when Memphis beat Michigan 73-72 in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.

• The Tigers now have an all-time record of 16-17 versus Big Ten Conference foes.

• The 29 rebounds are the lowest total by the Tigers since Mem-phis had 29 boards against UAB on February 16, 2011 in a 62-58 victory.

Jason Clark hit a big 3-pointer in overtime and scored 26 points, helping George-town hold off No. 8 Memphis 91-88 in the fi fth-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday. Memphis and Georgetown didn’t look like two teams playing for fi fth place,

trading monster dunks, 3-pointers and leads throughout regulation. The Hoyas (4-1) went up 90-86 in overtime after Clark hit a 3 with 51 seconds left and Markel Starks followed with two free throws. The Tigers (2-2) cut the lead to two on Stan Simpson’s two free throws and had a shot to tie after Georgetown’s Hollis Thompson made just 1 of 2 at the other end. But Memphis didn’t get a good look at the end of regulation and did it again in overtime, with Antonio Barton’s 3-pointer com-ing up well short at the buzzer. Henry Sims had 24 points and eight rebounds for Georgetown, while Thompson and Starks scored 12 each. Will Barton led Memphis with 22 points and Joe Jackson added 20. Memphis had trouble with patient and talented No. 15 Michigan in its tournament opener, un-able to get the 15th-ranked Wolverines to speed up in a 73-61 loss. Swapping acrobatic shots and deep 3-pointers, the Tigers and Hoyas had the crowd inside Lahaina Civic Center on its feet seemingly every other trip down the fl oor. Clark, who hit six 3-pointers and scored 28 points against Chaminade, had 17 by halftime, shooting 7 of 12. Starks chipped in 10 points and the Hoyas made 19 of 36 shots. The Tigers led by seven early, Georgetown an-swered with a 19-2 run to go up 10 and Memphis chipped away to get within 47-42 by halftime. Memphis had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but had trouble setting up a shot and Adonis Thomas’ 3-pointer was well off the mark.



In a double-overtime classic in the Maui Invitational, No. 8/8 Memphis used an Antonio Barton jumper to defeat Tennessee, 99-97. Will Barton led all-Tiger scorers with a career-high 25 points and a career-high 11 rebounds en route to posting his fi rst double-double.

Antonio Barton chipped in 21 points for the Tigers. Freshman Adonis Thomas had the best performance of his young career, with 19 points. With the game knotted up at 97, Antonio Barton knocked down a 15-foot jumper from the right wing to put Memphis up by two points with 1:14 left in the second overtime. Wesley Witherspoon picked up a loose ball along the baseline, but was called for traveling with a mere .8 seconds on the clock. Jeronne Maymon’s attempt fell short, preserving the double-overtime win for Memphis. Memphis found itself trailing in the fi rst overtime, 91-89, following a Josh Richardson contested three-point shot from the right wing. Chris Crawford took an outlet pass from Will Barton and attacked the rim for a game-tying layup. Maymon’s shot at the buzzer was well off the mark and the teams headed into double-overtime. Tennessee opened the second half on a 9-4 spurt to pull within fi ve points, but Memphis responded with fi ve in a row to regain a double-digit lead with 15:10 left. The Tigers maintained a relatively comfortable margin until the Vols went on a nine-point run to pull within a point, 77-76, with 3:38 remaining. With the Tigers leading by two points in the waning seconds, Tennessee’s Maymon fi nished a driving layup to tie the game. Will Barton raced down the court and put up a jumper from 12-feet out. His shot rimmed out, sending the game into overtime. Memphis (2-1) knocked down 36-of-70 (51.4 percent) shot attempts and limited Ten-nessee (2-2) to 30-of-74 (40.5 percent) shooting. The Tigers bench outscored the Vols, 52-25, but Memphis was outrebounded, 49-34, and gave up 29 second chance points.

No. 21/22 Memphis scored 15 unanswered points to open the second half and never looked back on its way to a 70-45 win over visiting Jackson State on Monday night. Joe Jackson led all scorers with 15 points, and Chris Crawford added 14 points for the Tigers. Memphis improved to 3-2 on the season while Jackson State fell to 1-7.

Crawford scored eight points during the 15-point run to begin the second half of play, helping Memphis jump out to a 40-19 lead. After using four of its timeouts in the fi rst half, Jackson State only had one left to use in the second half and was forced to use it during the opening spurt by Memphis. A tightfi sted Tiger defense forced 23 turnovers by JSU, tallying 36 points off of the miscues. Jackson State was held to 16-of-52 shooting (30.8 percent), while Memphis con-nected on 26-of-49 (53.1 percent) from the fi eld. Despite a season-high 10 rebounds from Stan Simp-son, Memphis was outrebounded 36-29, continuing its struggles on the glass.

At the intermission, Memphis led 25-19 behind six points from Crawford and seven rebounds from Stan Simpson, who earned his fi rst start of the season for the Tigers. Memphis shot the ball well in the half, going 11-for-24 (45.8 percent), but the rebounding woes contin-ued. Jackson State outrebounded Memphis, 22-14, while only connecting on 7-of-27 (25.9 percent) shot attempts. Leading 11-6 coming out of the under-12 media timeout, Memphis surrendered a pair of baskets to Jack-son State’s Jenirro Bush and a free throw to Raymond Gregory, tying the game. Antonio Barton responded with a fl oater from the right side of the lane to stop the run. Adonis Thomas’ layup with 7:38 left in the half ig-nited a 10-0 Memphis run over the next 5:35. Jackson State was forced to call four timeouts during the stretch that was ended by a pair of free throws by Kelsey Howard. Bush led JSU in scoring with 11 points on 5-of-16 (31.3 percent) shooting. Kelsey Howard and Willie Readus each hauled in six boards.

Tigers Tails• With a 36-29 disadvantage on the

boards, Memphis has now been outrebounded in four of its fi ve games this season. However, the Tigers are 3-1 in those contests.

• After a 1-for-6 start from the free throw line, Memphis made 14 of its next 19 shots from the char-ity stripe to go 15-for-25 (.600) overall.

• Memphis’ 25 fi rst-half points are the fewest points scored by the Tigers in any half this season.

• Memphis began the second half with a 15-0 run over the fi rst four minutes.

Will Barton scored 22 points, grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds and dished out a career-high-tying six assists and Memphis connected on 15 three-point shots en route a 91-60 win over visiting Austin Peay. Adonis Thomas recorded 17 points on 6-of-9 (66.7 percent) shooting, including 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) from three-point range.

Joe Jackson added 11 points and Tarik Black chipped in 10. Chris Crawford notched nine points and a game-high seven assists, which also ties his season-high. The 31-point victory is the largest of the season for the Tigers, who improve to 4-2. Austin Peay falls to 0-9 with the loss. Memphis’ 15 made three-point shots came on 25 attempts (60.0 percent), en route 32-of-56 (57.1 percent) shooting. The Tigers fi nished one three-pointer away from tying the school-record, 16, set against Marquette on February 14, 2004. Austin Peay struggled from the fl oor, fi nishing the game 24-of-72 (33.3 percent) and 2-of-10 from long-range. Just as they did in the fi rst 20 minutes, the Tigers dominated the second half. Jackson, Crawford, Thomas and Will Barton each scored during a 10-6 run to open the frame and Memphis never looked back. Antonio Barton took a scary tumble when he was fouled by the Governors’ Herdie Lawrence on a fast-break. Barton connected on one of the two free throws, putting the Tigers ahead, 73-42. Then came the high-fl ying acrobatics from the Ti-gers. With 8:48 remaining, Jackson stole the ball from Austin Peay and fed Black for a highlight-reel dunk in transition. The monstrous slam brought the crowd of 16,989 to its feet. Crawford ripped off a pass from the Governors, starting a Tiger-fast break, and laid the ball off of the backboard. D.J. Stephens came soaring through the air for another crowd-pleasing dunk, increasing Memphis’ lead to 86-54 with 2:48 left.

Tigers Tails• Memphis’ 15 three-pointers in the

game is the second-highest team total in program history. The mark has been achieved a total of eight times with the most recent coming Feb. 20, 2010 against SMU.

• For the third time this year, the Tigers tallied assists on at least 50 percent of their baskets (23 assists on 32 fi eld goals, .719). Memphis is 3-0 this season and 13-3 last year when accomplish-ing that feat.

• Memphis’ fi rst six baskets of the game were all three-pointers as the Tigers were 6-for-9 from the fl oor and 6-for-7 from three-point range in the fi rst seven minutes of the contest to build an 18-10 lead.



Sophomore guard Will Barton posted career-highs in points, 27, and rebounds, 14, while leading No. 21/20 Memphis to a 71-54 win at Miami. Sophomore forward Tarik Black added nine points and six boards and sophomore guard Chris Crawford chipped in nine points and handed out fi ve assists. Freshman forward Adonis Thomas scored six points, but hauled in a career-high

10 rebounds as Memphis improved to 5-2. Miami fell to 5-3 with the loss. After Miami’s Shane Larkin fi nished a driving layup to pull the Hurricanes within six, 55-49, Thomas sank two free throws and Stan Simpson converted on a layup to push Memphis’ lead to 10 with less than fi ve minutes remaining. The Tigers fi nished the game on a 16-5 run to put it out of reach. Will Barton picked up the double-double, his second-consecutive and third of the sea-son, when he collected an offensive board and fi nished the stick-back for his 16th point and 10th rebound at the 16:29-mark in the second-half. The Tigers’ second-leading scorer, sophomore guard Joe Jackson, was held scoreless until six-minutes into the second half when he knocked down an open three-pointer from the right wing. Jackson fi nished the game with eight points and three assists. Despite connecting on only 1-of-12 (8.3 percent) of its three-point shots, Memphis fi nished the game 28-of-60 (46.7 percent) from the fl oor. Miami was held to 20-of-56 (35.7 percent) shooting, including 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from long-range. After being outrebounded in four of its fi rst six games, Memphis held a decisive ad-vantage on the boards, 41-33. Memphis withstood a seven-point run by Miami and a shaky start before rallying to take the lead, 27-26, after the fi rst half of play. Barton put on an offensive dis-play in the fi rst half, scoring 14 points on 7-of-14 fi eld-goal attempts. The sophomore guard scored 10 of the Tigers’ fi rst 14 points and ripped down eight boards. Kenny Kadji scored 12 points to lead the Hurricanes. Scott Durand and Trey McKin-ney Jones also scored in double fi gures, with 10 points apiece. Kadji and Durand both pulled down a team-high six rebounds.

Tigers Tails• Memphis’ win at Miami was its fi rst

victory in a true road opener since the 2007-08 season, a 65-41 win over Middle Tennessee.

• Despite entering the game be-ing outscored in second chance points by an average of 5.2 points per game, the Tigers posted their biggest margin of the year in that category with a 17-9 advantage. Memphis’ 13 offensive rebounds were a season high.

• With Will Barton’s 14 rebounds and Adonis Thomas’ 10 boards, Memphis had two double-digit rebounders in a game for the fi rst time since Dec. 5, 2009 (Niles – 11, Coleman – 10 vs. Arkansas St.)

Despite a furious comeback attempt in the fi nal two minutes, No. 21/20 Mem-phis dropped a non-conference tilt against Murray State, 76-72. Will Barton scored a career-high-tying 27 points, on 10-of-13 (76.9 percent) shooting, in the loss. Memphis (5-3) trailed, 71-60, with a just under two-minutes left in the game when a Will Barton layup sparked Memphis’ run, igniting the crowd and putting

Murray State (10-0) on its heels. The Racers’ Isaiah Canaan stepped to the line and missed the front-end of the one-and-one. On the ensuing Tiger possession, Wesley Witherspoon connected on a three-point basket from the right corner. Memphis stiffened its defense and capitalized on three-consecutive Murray State turnovers to pull within three, 71-68, with 47 seconds remaining. A pair of free throws by Ivan Aska put the Racers back up by fi ve. Joe Jackson scored four-straight points on two free throws and a layup to bring Memphis within a point, 73-72, and only 14 ticks left on the clock. After Canaan increased the lead to three on two shots from the charity stripe, Chris Crawford’s game-tying three-point attempt rimmed out. Zay Jackson iced the game with a free throw for Murray State. Jackson fi nished with 20 points and four assists for Memphis. Crawford handed out a season-high-tying sev-en assists, hauled in fi ve boards and collected three steals. Tarik Black came up just short of a double-double with 11 points and a season-high nine rebounds. Witherspoon added seven points and pulled down a season-high eight boards. Memphis went 25-of-61 (41.4 percent) from the fl oor and 6-of-19 (31.6 percent) from beyond the arc. Murray State connected on 23-of-53 (41.7 percent) attempts, including 9-of-20 (45.0 per-cent) from three-point range. The Tigers fi nished 16-of-20 (80.0 percent) from the charity stripe, while the Racers connected on 21-of-29 (72.4 percent) of their free-throws.

Tigers Tails

• The 76-72 Murray State win marks the Racers’ fi rst victory over the Tigers since Jan. 19, 1994.

• Memphis is now 0-3 when trailing at the half this year after a 34-29 defi cit against Murray State.

• Memphis was outscored 23-11 on the fast break. The Tigers are 0-3 this year when being outscored in fast break points and 5-0 when topping their opponents in that category.

• Jackson reached the 20-point mark for the third time this year with 20 points while Tarik Black reached double digits for the third time this year with 11 points.



Memphis fell to Louisville on the road Saturday evening, 95-87. Will Barton re-corded 28 points and 16 rebounds, both career-highs. With the double-double against the Cardinals, Barton now has four on the season and three in the last four games. Joe Jackson added 22 points, fi ve rebounds and four assists for the Tigers.

Memphis (5-4) committed an uncharacteristic 17 turnovers, leading to 24 points for Louisville (10-0), which made only 40 percent (28-of-70) of its shots and just 30.4 percent (6-of-23) from beyond the arc. The Tigers connected on 26-of-63 (41.3 percent) fi eld-goal attempts, including 6-of-15 (40.0 percent) from three. Facing a 13-point defi cit early in the second half, the Tigers responded to cut the margin to a single point, 53-52, with 12-minutes remaining. Sophomore Tarik Black tied the game on a stick-back and on the ensuing possession Jackson converted on an old-fashioned three-point play to give Memphis its fi rst lead since midway through the fi rst half. After being careless with the ball in the opening 20-minutes of play, Memphis went the fi rst 11-minutes of the second half without a turnover. But, miscues on consecutive plays allowed Louisville to score fi ve-unan-swered points to regain the lead, 68-63. Jackson knocked down a pair of free throws and a three-pointer and Will Barton scored in transition to cap a 7-2 Tiger run to tie the game at 70. Louisville responded with an eight-point spurt to regain control of the game with under fi ve minutes left to play. Memphis was able to pull within six points, but an-other turnover led to a Louisville basket and the Cardi-nals secured the win by converting its free-throw attempts down the stretch. Chris Crawford recorded 12 points, fi ve rebounds and four assists. Black fi nished with fi ve points and six boards. Louisville had fi ve players score in double fi gures. Russ Smith fi nished with a team-high 24 points and Peyton Siva added 13 points and nine assists. Gorgui Dieng chipped in 14 points. Rakeem Buckles and Kyle Kuric round out the double-digit scorers for Louisville, scoring 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Thomas’ jumper in the lane with 8:04 left on the clock increased the lead to 71-57.Lipscomb used a 13-2 spurt over the next 3:40 to cut the Tiger lead down to 73-70, with the Tigers being held scoreless for nearly three minutes during the run. After the two teams exchanged a free-throw each, Crawford banked home a fl oater in the lane and Will Barton knocked down a trey to push the lead back to eight, 79-71, with 1:39 remain-ing. Coming out of a Lipscomb time-out, Jordan Bur-gason fi nished a driving layup for the Bison, but Black answered with a pair of free throws to maintain the eight-point margin. Stifl ing defense by the Tigers forced a tough shot for the Bison’s Robert Boyd, which Crawford pulled down before being fouled. The sophomore point guard calmly sank both free throws. Jackson iced the game with two more from the charity stripe to preserve the Tiger win. Memphis posted one of its best shooting nights of the season, going 33-for-58 (56.9 percent) from the fl oor and 6-for-16 (37.5 percent) from three-point range. Lipscomb went 28-for-63 (44.4 percent) on its fi eld goal attempts and 10-for-25 (40.0 percent) from downtown. After struggling for most of the season on the glass, Memphis held a decisive advantage on the boards, 39-27.

Tigers Tails• Memphis boasted a balanced of-

fensive attack against Lipscomb as six Tigers (Thomas, W. Barton, Black, Crawford, Jackson and A.Barton scored in double fi gures for the fi rst time since Nov. 27, 2007.

• The 10-point Memphis win marks the Tigers’ fi fth double-digit vic-tory in six wins this season.

• Memphis is now 6-0 when leading at the half (45-40) and 5-0 when shooting above 50 percent (.569) this season.

• All six of the Tigers’ wins this year have come when they lead their opponents in fast break points.



Memphis couldn’t survive a cold start to the second half and fell at No. 16 Georgetown, 70-59. The Hoyas opened the second half with a 19-6 run en route to building a 20-point lead at 54-34 with 12:13 left in the game. The Tigers struggled from the fl oor during the opening spurt, connecting on just one of their fi rst seven shots.

Memphis, though, responded by hitting eight of its next 10 to cut the Hoyas’ lead to nine. After a basket by Georgetown pushed the lead back out to double-digits, Ferrakohn Hall followed a Chris Crawford miss with a tip-dunk, and Crawford fi nished a layup to pull Memphis within seven at 61-54 heading into the under four-minute media timeout. Will Barton had a chance to cut into an eight-point defi cit when he was fouled with 1:41 remaining, but couldn’t connect on the one-and-one. Henry Sims for the Hoyas knocked down a pair at the other end of the fl oor to push the lead back to 10. Crawford led the Tigers in scoring with a season-high 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting and fi ve assists. Will Barton scored 12 points and hauled in 11 boards, giving him his fi fth double-double of the season. Despite its cold start from the fl oor in the second half, Memphis fi nished the game going 22-of-51 (43.1 percent) from the fi eld. Georgetown also knocked down 22-of-51 (43.1 percent) of its shots, including 5-of-14 (35.7 percent) from three. Georgetown’s ability to get to the free throw line proved to be the difference, as the Hoyas connected on 21 free throws to the Tigers’ 12. Jason Clark paced the Georgetown with 18 points. Sims scored 12 points and grabbed nine boards and Thompson Hollis scored 17, while also hauling in nine rebounds. Georgetown jumped out of the gate and built a nine-point lead early in the game. Memphis, however, slowly worked its way back. The Hoyas’ Gregg Whittington picked up a fl agrant foul for swinging his elbows, and Will Barton con-nected on the ensuing free throws to cut the lead to 17-14. Hall eventually tied the game at 23 on a dunk from the right baseline.

Tigers Tails• Chris Crawford collected a

season-high 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the fi eld.

• Will Barton fi nished with 12 points marking the sixth-straight game and ninth time this season he has scored in double fi gures.

• Memphis falls to 8-3 in the fi nal game before Christmas dating back to the 2000-01 season.

• Will Barton fi nished with 12 points and 11 rebounds for his fi fth double-double of the season and of his career. The double-double was Barton’s fourth in the last six games.

Memphis used suffocating defense to knock off Robert Morris 64-47 at FedEx-Forum. Sophomore guard Will Barton posted his sixth double-double of the season with 27 points and 13 boards. Freshman forward Adonis Thomas added 15 points. The Tigers held the Colonials to 23.2 percent (16-for-69) shooting and blocked

13 shots, both season-bests for the U of M. Memphis connected on 23-of-45 (51.1 percent) of its shot attempts, including 6-for-11 (54.5 percent) from beyond the arc. Sophomore forward Tarik Black totaled a career-high seven blocked shots, tied for the seventh-most for a single-game total in the program’s history, while also scoring eight points and hauling in six rebounds. In his fi rst start as a Tiger, Ferrakohn Hall recorded a season-high-tying seven points and pulled down a career-high eight boards. Stingy defense helped the Tigers head into the locker room with the lead, 32-18. Memphis held Robert Morris without a fi eld goal for over six-and-a-half min-utes, during which the Colonials only mustered three free throws. Robert Morris connected on a mere 19.4 percent (6-for-31) of its fi eld-goal attempts in scoring its 18 points, both are the lowest by a Tiger opponent this year. Memphis previously held Jackson State to 19 points on 25.9 percent (7-for-27) shooting in the fi rst half. Will Barton recorded 15 points, including a crowd-pleasing alley-oop dunk served by Chris Crawford, and six rebounds in the half. Crawford handed out four as-sists in the frame, including alley-oops to both Barton and Black. Robert Morris was paced by Lucky Jones with 10 points and six rebounds. Mike McFadden chipped in seven points and nine boards. The Tiger defense held Velton Jones to just seven points, the fi rst time in the last 20 games that he was held to single digits.

Tigers Tails• Tarik Black set a career high

with seven blocks. He leads the team with 21 blocks this season. His seven blocked shots are tied for the seventh-most for a single game in school history.

• Ferrakohn Hall set a career high with eight rebounds. Hall also played a career-high 29 minutes. Hall tied a career high with two blocks.

• Robert Morris shot 23.2 per-cent from the fi eld, the Tigers’ best FG percentage defense since their 2005-06 season opener versus Wisconsin-Milwaukee (22.2 percent).



In the waning moments of the game, Memphis pulled away from Charlotte to earn the victory, 67-58. Antonio Barton, who started his second-straight game, led all scorers with 16 points. Will Barton secured his third-consecutive and seventh double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 boards. Ferrakohn Hall pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds and Tarik Black pitched in 10 points.

For the second-consecutive game, Memphis held its opponent to less than 30 percent shooting for the game. In fact, the Tigers have held their last two opponents, Robert Mor-ris and Charlotte, below 30 percent shooting in each of the last four halves. Charlotte was a meager 16-of-65 (24.6 percent) from the fl oor. Memphis connected on 21-of-47 (44.7 percent) of its shots. At the fi nal media timeout of the game, Memphis maintained a three-point margin over Charlotte, 56-53. On the Tigers’ ensuing possession, Black was fouled go-ing hard to the basket. He knocked down one of the two free throws to give Memphis a four-point advantage with 3:05 left. Following an offensive foul on Charlotte’s Pier-ria Henry, Hall gathered a miss by Black and made the lay-in to extend Memphis’ lead to six at the 2:27 mark. The Tigers pushed the lead out to as many as 12 before a three-pointer by the 49ers at the buzzer cut the fi nal margin to nine. Antonio Barton and Black led the Tigers into the halftime break with a 30-28 lead, with both players tal-lying seven points in the frame. Memphis recorded 10 blocked shots in the fi rst half, marking the second-straight game with double-digit blocks. The last time the Tigers matched that feat came last season, when Mem-phis recorded 11 blocks against both Southern Miss (2-12-11) and UAB (2-16-11). The 49ers were led by Derrio Green’s 12 points. Chris Braswell posted 11 points and seven boards and DeMario Mayfi eld added 10 points.

Tigers Tails• Will Barton tied a career high

with three blocks. • Ferrakohn Hall set a career high

with 12 rebounds. • The Tigers held an opponent

to under 25 percent from the fi eld in consecutive games for the fi rst time this century (since 2000-01). Charlotte hit 24.6 percent after Robert Morris shot 23.2 percent.

• The Tigers recorded double digits in blocks for a second-straight game. The last time Memphis had double fi gures in blocks was the 2009-10 cam-paign.

Memphis defeated Tennessee for the second time this season by a fi nal score of 69-51. Memphis beat Tennessee earlier this season in the Maui Invitational in double overtime, 99-97. After being outrebounded 49-34 in the fi rst meeting, Mem-phis fl ipped the script on Tennessee, out-rebounding the Vols, 36-26, the second time around.

Antonio Barton scored a team-high 19 points on the strength of 4-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Tarik Black recorded a season-high 18 points and hauled in seven rebounds. Leading-scorer and rebounder Will Barton was held in check, tallying 10 points and pulling down four rebounds. Will Barton picked up a steal off of the Vols’ Trae Golden and hit Jackson up the left side. Jackson attacked the rim and drew contact from Tennessee’s Wes Washpun, who picked up the personal foul. Barton and Washpun ended up in a scuffl e under the Tigers’ basket and, after a lengthy review by the referees, each player picked up a technical foul for the altercation. Jackson knocked down one of the free throws to give the Tigers the lead, 49-37, with 8:10 remaining. Over the next four minutes, Memphis used a 14-6 run to push its lead to 20 points, 63-43. Antonio Barton paced the Tiger spurt with a pair of three-point shots. The Tigers pushed the lead out to as many as 22 points over the fi nal few minutes. Despite going without a fi eld goal for over six min-utes midway through the fi rst half, Memphis held the lead, 28-20, at the break. The 20 points by Tennessee marked the fi fth-straight half in which the Tigers’ oppo-nent scored 30 points or less. The Tigers held the Vols to 30.0 percent (9-of-30) shooting from the fl oor, while connecting on 40.7 percent (11-of-27) of their shots and holding a decisive edge on the boards, 22-13. The 18-point margin is the Tigers’ third-largest margin of victory in the rivalry. With the win, Memphis improved to 134-16 in its fi rst 150 games at FedExForum.

Tigers Tails• Memphis played its 150th game

at FedExForum vs. Tennessee and has the nation’s most home wins since the 2004-05 season with 134.

• The Tigers had 10 steals in the game, the fourth time this season that Memphis recorded double digit steals.

• The 18-point margin of victory was the third-largest margin of victory in the series. The Tigers earned 19 point wins in the 1993-94 (83-64) and 1989-90 (91-72) seasons.

• Memphis held Tennessee to a season-low 51 points.



Memphis survived a frenetic fi nal 30 seconds to hang on for the 62-59 win against UAB. Will Barton paced Memphis with his eighth double-double of the sea-son, scoring 16 points and hauling in 10 rebounds. Memphis held the three-point lead and had Wesley Witherspoon at the line for a pair of free throws with 16 ticks remaining in the game. Both Witherspoon free-

throw attempts rimmed out, giving UAB a chance for the tie. However, Chris Crawford blocked a three-point attempt by Jordan Swing. Wither-spoon grabbed the rebound while falling out of bounds and threw the ball off Swing to give Memphis possession with 1.2 seconds left. Memphis attempted to throw the inbounds pass long, but it was picked off by Ovie Soko. UAB was able to call timeout with a mere 0.6-sec-onds remaining. But, Crawford secured the victory by stealing the inbounds pass. Adonis Thomas recorded 15 points on the evening on 7-of-8 shooting. Crawford chipped in 10 points and recorded three steals, including the game-clinching swipe. With the Tigers holding the lead 57-55 and 4:25 left on the clock, D.J. Stephens cleaned up a Will Barton missed layup with a tip-dunk. Stephens was then fouled after corralling an errant-Blazer shot and connected on the front end of a one-and-one. On the ensuing Tigers possession, Will Barton con-verted a tough lay-in, giving Memphis its largest lead of the game at 62-55 with less than two minutes remaining. UAB responded with four quick points — a free throw by Quincy Taylor and a three by Swing — to cut the margin to three points at 62-59. Barton was then called for traveling, but Thomas blocked Cameron Moore’s layup attempt on the Blazers next possession. Witherspoon grabbed the defensive rebound and was fouled, setting up the fi nal series of events.

Tigers Tails• Tigers improved to 8-0 when

opponents shoot less than 40 percent for the game. UAB fi n-ished 18-of-46 (39.1 percent).

• The Tigers had 11 blocks in the game, the third time this season that Memphis recorded double-digit blocks.

• Will Barton scored 16 points marking the 10th-straight game that he has scored in double fi g-ures. Barton also collected 10 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season.

• Tigers improved to 13-4 in C-USA openers, including wins in eight-straight league openers.

Chris Crawford knocked down a pair of free throws with 31.7 seconds left to put Memphis ahead 60-58, and Southern Miss failed to connect on a three-pointer at the buzzer to preserve the victory for the Tigers. At the 4:02 mark of the fi rst half, Memphis found itself trailing 25-23. Antonio Barton scored 10 points and led Memphis on a 16-4 run in a stretch that lasted over

seven minutes of game time and spanned the halftime break. Southern Miss countered with a six-point spurt that Joe Jackson ended with an old-fashioned three-point play. Will Barton followed with a steal at midcourt and threw down a monstrous one-handed slam that brought the crowd of 16,246 to its feet. Pastner and the Memphis coaching staff employed a 1-3-1 zone defense, and South-ern Miss struggled from beyond the arc. But, the Golden Eagles started to fi nd their range, connecting on three-consecutive treys to narrow the Ti-gers’ margin to four at 51-47 with 8:28 remaining. After Memphis was unable to convert on the front end of a pair of one-and-ones, LaShay Page knocked down a three-pointer to give the Golden Eagles the lead at 52-51. Antonio Barton answered with a three-pointer to regain the lead for the Tigers. The two teams exchanged baskets and the game was tied at 56-all. Tarik Black knocked down a pair of free throws with 1:00 left to give Memphis a 58-56 lead and then blocked Jonathan Mills’ layup attempt out-of-bounds with 34 seconds remaining. On Southern Miss’ ensuing inbounds, Black was called for a hold on Mills, putting the junior at the charity stripe with a pair of free throws. Mills connected on both shots to tie the game at 58-all. Cedric Jenkins picked up a foul on the Tigers’ in-bounds pass, setting the stage for Crawford’s game-win-ning free throws. Antonio Barton paced Memphis with 13 points. Will Barton narrowly missed a dou-ble-double with 11 points and nine rebounds. Black also recorded an impressive stat line with nine points, 10 rebounds and fi ve-blocked shots. Southern Miss was led by Page’s 16 points, including 12 from long range. Angelo Johnson was the only other Golden Eagle in double-fi gures with 11 points.

• Will Barton scored 14 points marking the 12th-straight game that he has scored in double fi g-ures. Barton also recorded his ninth double-double of the year.

In a second half full of runs, UCF struck fi rst with an 11-1 run, forcing Josh Pastner to call a timeout three minutes into the second half. Memphis responded with a 13-2 spurt to cut the lead to two at 54-52 with 10:57 remaining in the game. The Knights scored seven straight to extend the lead back out to nine (61-52). But, Memphis displayed resiliency when it countered with a 12-2 run to take its fi rst lead of the second half at 64-63. Tarik Black had a chance to increase the lead, but was unable to convert on an alley-oop. Marcus Jordan fi nished a driving lay-in to put UCF back on top with 1:22 left. But, Joe Jackson knocked down a deep pull-up three-pointer with the shot clock winding down to push Memphis back out front at 67-65. UCF failed to convert on its next offensive posses-sion, forcing the Knights to foul Antonio Barton. Bar-ton’s front end of the one-and-one lipped out, giving UCF another chance with :15 left. A.J. Rompza attempted a jumper that caromed off the glass to Clanton, who converted the lay-in and was fouled by Wesley Witherspoon with :04 on the clock. Clanton knocked down the ensuing free throw, and Memphis was unable to get a shot off. Black scored 10 points for the Tigers, who shot 51.0 percent (26-of-51) for the game. Jackson scored seven points and handed out a game-high six assists. UCF shot 24-of-54 (44.4 percent) for the game. Despite 16 fi rst-half points from Will Barton, Memphis trailed by three at 41-38 at the break. Barton connected on his fi rst six shots from the fl oor, before fi nally missing on a contested 10-footer with 2:26 remaining in the opening half.

Tigers Tails• In the second half, Memphis

held SMU to 17 points, and at one point, held the Mustangs scoreless for eight minutes and 57 seconds.

• Tarik Black reeled in a career high in rebounds with 13. Black’s previous career high of 11 came against Tulane (3/5/2011).

• Will Barton led Memphis with 24 points, the 11th time he has led the team in scoring this sea-son.

• Tarik Black recorded his fi rst double-double of the season hauling in 13 rebounds. This is the third double-double of Black’s career, with the last coming against UTEP in the 2011 C-USA Conference Tour-nament championship game.

Memphis built a 12-point half-time advantage and pushed its lead out to as many as 27 points in the second half before dispatching Rice 73-51. Three Tigers fi nished in double-fi gures paced by Chris Crawford’s 15 points and seven rebounds. Antonio Barton added 11 points, and Tarik Black chipped in 10. With 7:21 left in the game and Memphis leading 58-36, Rice’s Tamir Jackson

chased down Joe Jackson on a fast break and was whistled for a fl agrant-two foul. As NCAA rules require, Tamir Jackson was ejected from the game. In the resulting fracas, Joe Jackson was given a technical foul, and Will Barton and Black were ejected from the game for leaving the bench area during an on-court altercation. Memphis shot 42.9 percent (27-of-63) from the fl oor and 40.0 (6-of-15) percent from three-point territory, while holding Rice to 40.5 percent (17-of-42) fi eld goal shooting and 44.4 percent (4-of-9) from beyond the arc. The difference in the game was the Tigers’ defense, which forced 18 Owls’ turnovers. Memphis capitalized on the miscues, outscoring Rice 21-6 in points off turn-overs. The Tigers also won the battle of the boards 40-28 leading to an 11-3 advantage in second-chance points. Will Barton contributed nine points, a game-high-tying eight rebounds and four assists. Wesley Wither-spoon tallied eight points in 20 minutes of action. Stout defense by the Tigers held Rice without a fi eld goal for the fi rst 7:25 of the game, during which the Owls only mustered three free throws. The strong defensive start propelled Memphis to the halftime lead at 35-23. Antonio Barton scored nine points on 3-for-3 shooting from long range, and Will Barton added seven points and fi ve boards. Rice forward Arsalan Kazemi took a rough fall when he fl ipped over D.J. Stephens late in the fi rst half. The leading scorer and rebounder for Rice was held to just two points and fi ve rebounds in the opening 20 minutes. Connor Frizzelle, Omar Oraby and Tamir Jackson each scored 10 points for the Owls. Kazemi hauled in a game-high-tying eight boards and fi nished with four points.

Tigers Tails• Memphis won its 200th game

since 2005-06, becoming only the second NCAA Division 1 program to win 200 games in that span of time (joins Kansas).

• The Rice game marked the 13th time the Tigers had at least three players in double-fi gures. Memphis is 9-4 when it has at least three players in double digits.

• Although the Tigers defense allowed Rice to shoot 40.5 per-cent from the fl oor, they forced 18 Owls turnovers, the most miscues forced by Memphis since Nov. 28.



Will Barton dropped in a career-high 29 points, and Tarik Black chipped in a season-high 19 points for Memphis, which pulled out an 83-76 Conference USA win against visiting Marshall at FedExForum. Wesley Witherspoon provided a key second-half spark for the Tigers and totaled 12 points in the contest. Memphis was trailing Marshall 62-59 when Witherspoon made his presence felt.

He fi rst grabbed an errant pass in the paint and took it the length of the fl oor for a lay-in. Witherspoon then ignited the crowd with another steal and coast-to-coast layup off the next Marshall possession. He followed by taking a charge on the defensive end, which led to a free throw by Black. On the ensuing possession, Witherspoon stole the ball from Dennis Tinnon, who was then whistled for an intentional foul for grabbing Witherspoon in the open court. The se-nior forward knocked down both shots from the charity stripe. Will Barton followed with a 15-foot jumper to give Memphis the lead 66-62 with 7:21 left. After the Thundering Herd tied the game at 66-all, Joe Jackson hit a three-pointer and Witherspoon tipped-in his own missed shot to put the Tigers out in front for good at 71-66. Memphis sealed the game with six free throws and a Chris Crawford dunk in the fi nal minute. The Tigers shot the ball well, making 30-of-54 (55.6 percent) of their fi eld goal attempts despite only making 2-of-10 (20.0 percent) from long range. The Thundering Herd went 24-for-54 (44.4 percent) from the fl oor and 6-for-17 (35.3 percent) from three-point territory. Black proved formidable in the lane, sinking 8-of-11 (72.7 percent) shots and helping Memphis to a 48-28 advantage in points in the paint. However, Marshall out-scored Memphis in transition, posting a 16-4 margin in fast-break points. Marshall led 41-40 at the end of a testy fi rst half. The referees handed out a pair of technical fouls for two-separate instances where players were jawing back-and-forth. Marshall’s Tinnon and DeAndre Kane and Memphis’ Anto-nio Barton and Crawford were the four individuals on the receiving end of the technical foul calls.

Tigers Tails• Will Barton scored a career-

high 29 points, the fi fth time this season he has recorded a new career best in scoring.

• Tarik Black netted a season-high 19 points, his previous season-best of 18 points came against Tennessee (1/4/12).

• Will Barton eclipsed the 800-point mark in his career with his 29 points vs. the Herd. Barton now has 826 points in two seasons with Memphis.

• Wesley Witherspoon scored 12 points, marking the second time this season he netted double fi gures (also vs. Belmont on 11/15/11).

Chris Crawford scored a career-high 23 points, but was unable to connect on a three-point shot at the buzzer and Southern Miss defeated Memphis 75-72. Crawford connected on 9-of-15 (60.0 percent) fi eld goal attempts, including 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) from three-point range. Memphis trailed Southern Miss 69-65 with under a minute to play when Will Bar-

ton grabbed an errant free throw attempt and drove the length of the fl oor. Barton drew a foul and sank both free throws. Barton then fouled Neil Watson, who knocked down a pair of shots from the charity stripe, and Joe Jackson immediately pushed the ball up the court for the lay-in, keeping the Tigers’ defi cit at two points (71-69). On the ensuing Southern Miss possession, Antonio Barton fl icked the ball from Wat-son and right into Jackson’s hands. Jackson connected on the fi rst free throw, but missed the second. Wesley With-erspoon missed on a put-back attempt, and the Tigers still trailed by a point with 22 seconds remaining. After Darnell Dodson sank two free throws for the Golden Eagles, D.J. Stephens took a pass from Jackson and threw down a dunk to pull the Tigers back to within one at 73-72. Full-court pressure defense by the Tigers forced a long pass by the Golden Eagles that was nearly picked off, but Dodson was there to collect the loose ball near mid-court. Dodson was fouled and hit both free throws, securing the fi nal margin as Crawford’s attempt at the buzzer was off the mark. Will Barton scored 15 points, and Jackson added 14. Antonio Barton was the fourth Tiger in double digits, post-ing 10 points. Despite shooting 56.3 percent (27-for-48) from the fl oor and limiting Southern Miss to 41.1 percent (23-of-56), Memphis couldn’t overcome its lackluster rebounding effort and a strong free-throw shooting performance by the Golden Eagles. Memphis was outrebounded 36-23 leading to 15 second-chance points for Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles also connected on 24-of-27 (88.9 percent) of their free throws, com-pared to 13-of-17 (76.5 percent) for the Tigers.

Tigers Tails• Southern Miss’ victory snapped

the Tigers’ 18-game win streak in the series.

• The last seven games between Memphis and Southern Miss have been decided by seven or fewer points (3.4 margin of vic-tory in those games).

• Chris Crawford scored a career-high 23 points. His previous was career high was 19 points against Houston (1/14/12). Crawford tied a career high with fi ve three-pointers.

• Memphis connected on 27-of-48 FG (56.3 percent), marking the 11th time this season the Tigers have shot 50 percent or better.



Memphis used a 17-1 run over a six-minute span at the end of the game to defeat Xavier 72-68 in a non-league game at FedExForum. Wesley Witherspoon scored 12 points, all in the second half, to give the Tigers the spark they needed to defeat Xavier. Xavier opened the second half with nine-straight points to turn its 35-34 halftime lead into a 44-34 advantage. But, just as he did in the Jan. 28 win over Marshall, With-

erspoon came off the bench to provide a lift for Memphis. In a three-minute span in the second half, Witherspoon knocked down a pair of three-point shots and drew a charge on the defensive end, helping the Tigers cut the Musketeers’ lead to six at 62-56 with under six minutes to play. After an Andre Walker free throw for Xavier, Witherspoon fi nished an old-fashioned three-point play to cut the Musketeers lead to 63-59, igniting the 17,097 fans in attendance. Moments later, Antonio Barton hit a layup, and Joe Jackson converted a pair of free throws, tying the contest at 63-all with 2:12 left. Antonio Barton then made another driving layup with 1:27 on the clock, giving Memphis it fi rst lead since the 1:46 mark of the fi rst half. Witherspoon, Jackson and Antonio Barton knocked down free throws in the fi nal seconds to seal the victory. Jackson fi nished the game with a team-high 14 points, including a perfect 12-for-12 from the charity stripe, and handed out a career-high-tying eight assists. Tarik Black narrowly missed a double-double, post-ing 13 points and nine rebounds. Black scored seven of the fi rst nine points in the game for Memphis. Will Barton added 13 points and fi ve rebounds. The Tigers made 43.1 percent (22-of-51) of their shots, despite only making 28.6 percent (4-of-14) from long range. The Musketeers fi nished the game shooting 46.3 percent (25-of-54), but made just one of their last seven shots from the fl oor. Xavier connected on 40 per-cent (6-of-15) from three-point territory. Will Barton scored 10 fi rst-half points, but Memphis found itself trailing Xavier 35-34 at the conclusion of the fi rst 20 minutes of action. Tarik Black chipped in nine points and both Barton and Black grabbed four rebounds in the opening half.

Tigers Tails• Joe Jackson tied a career high

with eight assists. It was the third time in his career that he had eight assists in a game.

• Tarik Black logged a career-high 38 minutes. His previous career high was 36 minutes against Tennessee on Jan. 4.

• Wesley Witherspoon scored in double fi gures with 12 points, all of them coming in the last 16 minutes of the game.

• It was the 16th time this season the Tigers had at least three players in double fi gures. The Tigers are 11-5 when they have at least three players in double digits.

Memphis led by as many as 19 points before defeating East Carolina 70-59 in a Conference USA match-up at Williams Arena. Chris Crawford scored a game-high 16 points, and Will Barton chipped in 15 points. Joe Jackson added seven points and seven assists. Wesley Witherspoon continued his strong play over the last four games, posting

12 points and a season-high 11 rebounds. The double-double was Witherspoon’s fi rst since recording 28 points and 14 rebounds against Lipscomb on Dec. 30, 2010. It was Wither-spoon’s third career double-double. Six-straight points from Crawford put Memphis up by 16 points at 46-30 early in the second half, but a four-minute Tigers scoreless streak and 10-point run by East Carolina allowed the Pirates to cut the lead to 46-40. Memphis, however, responded with seven-consec-utive points, sparking a 22-9 run over the next nine min-utes of play to regain control of the game. The Tigers shot 46.7 percent (28-of-60) from the fi eld and held East Carolina to 38.6 percent on 22-of-57 shooting. Memphis also held decisive advantages in points in the paint (40-24), points off turnovers (21-9), fast-break points (12-4) and bench points (22-14). East Carolina won the rebounding battle 37-34 and tallied more second chance points 16-10. Using a 17-5 run over the last nine minutes of the fi rst half, Memphis held a 37-25 lead at the break. The Pirates were held scoreless for a 4:22 stretch during which the Memphis scored 10 unanswered points. Craw-ford paced Memphis with 10 fi rst-half points, while Fer-rakohn Hall added six and Jackson recorded fi ve points and four assists. In the opening half, the two teams were nearly iden-tical in their fi eld-goal percentage, with 44.4 percent (16-of-36) for Memphis and 43.5 percent (10-of-23) for East Carolina. However, the Tigers led in every other major statistical category, rebounds (20-16), turnovers (3-8), points off turnovers (10-3), points in the paint (24-12), second chance points (10-4) and bench points (12-3).

Tigers Tails• Wesley Witherspoon logged

a season-high 11 rebounds; his previous season high was eight against Murray State (12/11/11).

• Wesley Witherspoon also set a season high for steals with four; his previous season high was two against Xavier (2/4/12).

• D. J. Stephens set a season high with three blocks; his previ-ous was two against Charlotte (12/31/11).

• Chris Crawford led Memphis with 16 points, the fourth time he has led the team in scoring this season. Crawford’s double-fi gure game was the 10th of this season and the 18th of his career.



Memphis shot 53 percent from the fl oor, including 58 percent from long range, on its way to a 79-45 Conference USA win over UAB in front of 17,308 fans at FedEx-Forum. It was Memphis’ biggest C-USA home win in the Josh Pastner era. Will Barton and Chris Crawford led the Tigers with 16 points apiece, and Antonio Barton joined them in double fi gures with 10. Seven Tigers scored at least nine points,

including Wesley Witherspoon, Tarik Black and Joe Jackson. Memphis missed its fi rst shot but connected on its next six from the fl oor, building a 15-5 lead in the fi rst four-plus minutes of the game. The Tigers used triples from Crawford, Will Barton and Antonio Barton in the early run. The Tigers continued to knock down trifectas, making 8-of-9 from downtown in the fi rst 12 minutes of the game while extending the lead to 23 points at 34-11. UAB knocked down two-consecutive bombs to cut the advantage to 34-17, but Joe Jackson responded with two free throws to end the Blazers’ mini-run. D.J. Stephens capped the fi rst-half barrage of triples from Memphis, and the Tigers took a 47-21 advantage into the locker room. Memphis cooled off slightly after the break, missing its fi rst four shots of the half before Will Barton ended the drought on an alley-oop dunk from Crawford. Tarik Black fi nished an old-fashioned, three-point play on the next possession and Will Barton made the Tigers’ fi rst three of the second half to push the lead to 56-29 with 13:57 left in the game. Preston Purifoy made his fourth triple of the night with just under 10 minutes left to cut the Memphis lead to 62-41, but Crawford came up with a steal on the next Blazers trip and converted it into a one-handed jam on the other end to ignite the FedExForum crowd. Tarik Black then converted two layups down low to extend the Memphis advantage to 27 points at 68-41 with 8:10 to play. Memphis was too much in the end as Black scored four-straight and Will Barton made two more free throws to put Memphis ahead 74-41. Stephen’s second triple of the night pushed the lead to 36 — the largest of the night — and the Tigers went on to win 79-45.

A 16-1 run in the second half propelled Memphis to an 82-64 Conference USA win over Tulane at Fogelman Arena. Will Barton led fi ve Tigers in double-fi gures with 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. The Tigers found themselves trailing 45-41 four minutes into the second half after a Jordan Callahan three-pointer. That’s when the Tigers’ defense stiffened. Over the
