The host SMU Mustangs used a 17-0 second-half run and shot 56.3 percent from beyond the arc en route to upsetting Memphis 64-58 in a Conference USA en-counter 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 fi ve-straight points, capped by a reverse layup and three-point play with 3:16 left, to give SMU its fi rst lead of the game at 51-48. Collin Mangrum, who fi nished 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 fi rst Tiger score since the 11:20 mark — to cut the lead to 54-50 with 2:02 to play. Jackson was whistled for palming the basketball on the next possession, however, and Magrum capitalized with a follow-up layup on the ensuing Mustangs’ pos-session to push the lead back to six at 56-50. A missed jumper by Jackson on the next posses-sion 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 fi nal 30 seconds, but the Tigers missed fi ve free throws down the stretch and couldn’t close the gap. Jackson led the Tigers with 15 points, while With-erspoon was the only other Memphis player to fi nish in

double fi gures with 11 points. Tarik Black added nine points and fi ve rebounds. For a second-straight season, Dia led the Mus-tangs 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.

Sallie led the Tiger spurt with eight points. The Mustangs, though, did not fold. SMU put to-gether a 14-0 run of its own over a four minute span to cut the Memphis lead to 59-49 with 8:27 remaining. Nyakundi hit two treys to pace the Mustang spurt. After the run, SMU remained within striking distance and was down 66-58 with 3:11 to go.

Sallie hit two free throws to push the Tiger lead back to 12 points at 70-58 and then hit a three-pointer with 1:55 left for a 73-58 lead. In the fi rst half, Memphis jumped out to an early 17-6 lead. The Tigers built their early advantage on the strength of fi ve treys. Memphis held a 31-14 lead midway through the fi rst half, but SMU closed the opening period with an 18-9 run and was down 42-32 at the break.

The Tigers were 15-of-30 from the three-point arc, and the 15 treys made were the second-most for a single game in school history.

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.

• Tarik Black had his fi rst double-digit scoring effort of the season and 14th of his career. Black fi nished with 12 points marking his 14th career double-digit effort.

• Will Barton scored 20 or more points for the third time this sea-son and seventh time in his career. Memphis is 5-2 when he scores 20 or more points. Barton fi nished with a team high 22 points.

• Joe Jackson scored 18 or more points for the fourth time in his ca-reer and second time this season. Jackson fi nished with 20 points.

• The loss snapped a four-game winning streak by Memphis in overtime.

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. The U of M outscored JSU in points in the paint, 38-16, and fast break points, 24-2. 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. Melvin Baker paced the Governors with 15 points, on 7-of-14 shooting, and seven rebounds. Will Triggs added fi ve points and collected a team-high eight boards.

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.

Adonis Thomas scored a game-high 18 points and hauled in nine boards for the Tigers who improve to 6-4 on the season. Lipscomb drops to 6-7 with the loss.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tigers Tails• The 34-point win is the largest

margin of victory in a confer-ence game since a 43 point win over SMU 90-47 on Feb. 18, 2009.

• It was the Tigers’ largest margin of victory in a road game since 2005-06 (105-65 at Tulane).

• Tigers improved to 10-0 when opponents shoot less than 40 percent. Houston fi nished 19-of-56 (33.9 percent).

• 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.

Memphis dropped its fi rst conference game of the season to UCF 68-67 on Keith Clanton’s old-fashioned three-point play with four ticks left on the clock. Will Barton dropped in 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds. Chris Crawford fi nished 12 points, eight boards and fi ve assists.

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.
