www.gotigersgo.com

TIGERS ON THE RADIO All Memphis basketball games are broad-cast on the Tigers’ network fl agship station, WREC 600AM. Dave Woloshin calls the play-by-play, while Matt Dillon serves as the color analyst. Dillon and Forrest Goodman (in stu-dio) host the pre- and postgame shows. WREC 600AM also broadcasts Josh Past-ner’s weekly radio show, which is held at the Lynchburg Legends Bar & Grill located in the East Memphis DoubleTree Inn. Forrest Good-man serves as host of the weekly call-in show.

JOSH PASTNERTELEVISION SHOW

Head coach Josh Pastner’s weekly televi-sion coach’s show is televised every Sunday night at 10 p.m. (CT) during the season by FOX 13/WHBQ-TV in Memphis. The show began in early December. Dave Woloshin serves as the show’s hosts.

Horton paces the Golden Eagle of-fense. Flowers leads Southern Miss and Conference USA with a 21.1 scoring average, while Hor-ton is second on the squad in scoring at 12.4 ppg. Flowers also leads the Golden Eagles on the glass with a 7.8 rebounding average (seventh in C-USA). Freshman D.J. Newbill is second on the team at 6.3 rpg. Redshirt junior Angelo Johnson tops the team with 74 assists (4.4 apg) and has only 21 turnovers. He leads C-USA with a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Flowers is Southern Miss’ top threat from the arc at 44.1 percent (sixth in C-USA). The Golden Eagles are shooting 45.8 percent from the fl oor, 35.9 percent from the three-point line and 73.9 percent from the charity stripe. Southern Miss out-rebounds its foes by a C-USA-leading mar-gin of +8.1 boards per game (40.5-32.4). The Golden Eagles also take care of the ball, as they average a Conference USA-low 12.6 turnovers per game.

PASTNER IN SECOND YEAR AT HELM OF TI-GER PROGRAM Josh Pastner (Arizona, 1998) is in his second season as the head coach of the University of Mem-phis basketball program. The Kingwood, Texas, na-tive was hired Apr. 7, 2009, after serving the 2008-09 season as an assistant on the Tiger staff. With the Tigers’ 13 wins in 2010-11, Pastner now has an overall record of 37-14 (.725 winning percentage).

In his fi rst season in 2009-10, Pastner guided the Tigers to a 24-10 overall record and a 13-3 Confer-ence USA mark. Memphis earned a National Invi-tation Tournament (NIT) berth and advanced to the postseason classic’s second round. Prior to joining the Memphis basketball family for the 2008-09 season, Pastner spent the previous 12 years of his college basketball life at Arizona as a player, staff member and assistant coach. While in Tucson, Pastner was a member of Wildcat squads that made 12-straight NCAA Tournament appear-ances and posted a 290-103 record (1997-2008). Pastner was a player on the 1996-97 Arizona team that won the NCAA title.

DID YOU KNOW? Head coach Josh Pastner’s fi rst Conference USA foe was Southern Miss last year. Pastner’s Ti-gers opened their C-USA schedule in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Jan. 9, 2010, and Memphis pulled out a hard-fought 59-57 victory. With the win, Pastner be-came the fi rst Memphis head coach since Tic Price in 1997-98 to win his Conference USA debut.

TIGERS DON’T LIKE THE GREEN As in Reed Green Coliseum. In its last 21 trips to Hattiesburg (since 1987-88), Memphis has won 10 times (10-11 record; .476 winning percentage). Of those 10 wins, fi ve were by single digits, and the average margin of victory in those fi ve Tiger single-digit victories was 6.8 points. To take it further, Southern Miss is tied for the site of the most Tiger Conference USA road losses since 2000-01. Memphis has lost three times at Reed Green Coliseum since 2000-01, and is tied with UAB’s Bartow Arena, where Memphis has also dropped three games in that same time period.

FIRST TIME SINCE... Well, it’s been awhile, but the Tigers are going to see what Hattiesburg, Miss., is like during the middle of the week. For the fi rst time since the 2001-02 sea-son, Memphis plays a non-Saturday game at South-ern Miss on Wednesday. The past eight years (2002-03 through 2009-10), Memphis played at Southern Miss on a Satur-day, and the Tigers were 6-2 in those games (.750 winning percentage). In fact, Memphis won the last six meetings in Hattiesburg and all six were Saturday contests. The last time Memphis played in Hattiesburg, and it wasn’t a Saturday was in 2001-02. The Tigers posted a narrow 73-64 win over the Golden Eagles on Jan. 18, 2002, which was a Friday night. The last time the two longtime rivals played on a non-weekend day was in the 2000-01 cam-paign. That year, the encounter was on Feb. 28 — a Wednesday — and Southern Miss dominated Mem-phis 74-55.

FedExForumThe Home of The Tigers

The 2010-11 season marks the seventh for the Tigers in their home arena, FedExForum, which offi cially opened in September, 2004.

LAST YEAR’SMEETINGS #1

Memphis 59 • Southern Miss 57Jan. 9, 2010 • Hattiesburg, Miss.

Willie Kemp stepped to the free throw line with fi ve seconds remaining and a chance to cement his place in Memphis basketball lore. Kemp calmly knocked down both free throws, and Memphis escaped Reed Green Coliseum with a 59-57 Conference USA win over Southern Miss. Elliot Williams led all scorers with a career night in which he torched the nets for a career-high eight three-point buckets en route to scoring 25 points in the fi rst half (Southern Miss had just 26) and 33 in the game. The Tigers dominated the fi rst half, jumping out to a 41-26 halftime advantage. Memphis outrebounded Southern Miss 22-14 in the opening period. The Tigers shot 51.6 percent in the fi rst half, while the Golden Eagles shot 31 percent from the fi eld. The second half, however, was a completely dif-ferent story. Southern Miss began the second half outscoring Memphis 11-1 in the fi rst seven minutes of the peri-od. Despite its control of the pace in the second half, Southern Miss did not take the lead until they went ahead 49-48 at the 6:50 mark. The game then went back and forth until Kemp made 1-of-2 free throws to put the Tigers ahead 57-56. Southern Miss tied the game when Sai’Quon Stone connected on 1-of-2 from the charity stripe with 1:20 remaining. With fi ve seconds remaining, Stone fouled Kemp as the senior guard drove the ball to the basket. The

Tigers got a second chance at the last shot when Pierre Henderson-Niles pulled down a huge offensive re-bound after a Doneal Mack missed trey. The Memphis offense then reset and set up the game’s frantic fi nal seconds. The Golden Eagles outscored the Tigers 31-18 in the second half. The 18 points were the lowest offen-sive output in a single half to date this season. Mem-phis only managed to hit two fi eld goals in the second half (2-of-14 from the fl oor).

GOLDEN EAGLES CLOSING IN Wednesday’s Memphis-Southern Miss game is the 84th meeting between the two longtime rivals, but the series is still a little short of the longest in Tigers hoops history. The longest series in Memphis history is the one versus Louisville. That series is 85 games. The Tigers-Golden Eagles match-up in Mem-phis on Feb. 12 will tie the longest series in school history. A possible 2011 C-USA Tournament meet-ing between the two programs would make it the longest series in Memphis history.

CHANGING IT UP It’s not a surprise that head coach Josh Past-ner has had to juggle his starting lineup in 2010-11 with injuries, additions and subtraction of players and the overall youth of the squad. According re-cent research by USC Upstate SID Alex Edwards, the Tigers are second in the nation in using different starting lineups, and the following shows that (top fi ve teams listed below):

TIGERS SEVENTH YOUNGEST IN NCAA No one wants to hear how young the 2010-11 Memphis team is anymore with half the season gone by. However, entering the campaign, the Tigers had

the seventh-youngest squad out of 346 NCAA Divi-sion I programs, according to kenpom.com. Memphis is one of only four teams to be ranked in the top-25 national polls at some time this season with a top-50 youngest team. Connecticut (12th), Kentucky (36th) and North Carolina (40th) are the other three schools with a top-50 young team that was also ranked in the top-25 of the national polls at some point during 2010-11. The next youngest team in Conference USA is UCF at 102. The Tigers’ foe on Wednesday, South-ern Miss, is the country’s 289th youngest team (or the 57th-most experienced team). The following lists the top-10 youngest teams and where the C-USA schools fall on the kenpom.com list:

freshmen, one transfer) in 2010-11. The 1972-73 Ti-gers had 10 newcomers on their roster, and many of those were available because 1972-73 was the fi rst year of freshmen eligibility. That 1972-73 Memphis squad advanced to the NCAA national title game.

GET YOUR TRACK SHOES ON The scoreboard operator better have his fi ngers ready to go on Wednesday as Memphis and South-ern Miss are Conference USA’s top two scoring of-fenses. Southern Miss leads the league with a 78.6 scoring average, while the Tigers are second in C-USA with a 78.3 average.

TIGERS, BEWARE THE LEADING SCORER Hopefully, the Tigers learned their lesson from the 2009-10 season when playing Conference USA’s leading scorer, Southern Miss’ Gary Flowers, on Wednesday. Flowers leads the league with a 21.1 scoring average. Last year, Memphis didn’t fare so well in its three meetings against C-USA’s leading scorer, Houston’s Aubrey Coleman. The Tigers dropped two of the three games to the Cougars, and Coleman averaged 29.0 points in the three contests.

BOARD BATTLE AWAITS WEDNESDAY The Tigers’ toughest battle on the glass is Wednesday’s foe, Southern Miss. The Golden Ea-gles lead Conference USA and rank 12th in the na-tion in rebound margin at +8.1. Memphis is seventh in C-USA and ranks 117th in rebound margin at +2.1. However, the Tigers are out-rebounding their opponents by a margin of +6.5 in their last eight games.

TO TURN OVER OR NOT TO TURN OVER? That is the question to be answered in Wednes-day’s Memphis-Southern Miss match-up. The Ti-gers are Conference USA’s top squad in forcing turn-overs. Memphis’ opponents average 16.9 turnovers per game. However, Southern Miss is C-USA’s best squad at taking care of the ball. The Golden Eagles average only 12.6 turnovers per contest. In eight home games at Reed Green Coliseum, Southern Miss is averag-ing only 11 turnovers per game.

WITHERSPOON SUSPENDED; WON’T PLAY WEDNESDAY Head coach Josh Pastner announced Jan. 13 that junior Wesley Witherspoon has been suspend-ed indefi nitely for an internal matter. He did not play in the Jan. 15 game versus Marshall.

Pastner gave an update on his Jan. 17 radio show that he expects to reinstate Witherspoon on Jan. 20, but the suspension was still “day-to-day.” The 6-foot-9 forward is Memphis’ second-leading scorer (11.5 ppg) and leading rebounder (4.9 rpg).

NEW C-USA SCHEDULE FORMAT IN 2010-11 Well, the league’s schedule-maker likes a little tweaking after fi ve years, so the 2010-11 Conference USA slate takes on a different look with divisional play without separating into divisions. What remains the same in C-USA are the one division standings and the 16-game league schedule for all teams. However, the change comes in who plays who. This season, C-USA basketball plays a schedule based on divisions similar to the set-up in football. Teams in the East (East Carolina, Marshall, Mem-phis, Southern Miss, UAB, UCF) and West (Hous-ton, Rice, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UTEP) play each other twice. The teams cross over and play squads in the other division once.

MEMPHIS IN CONFERENCE USA The Tigers have an all-time record of 178-59 (.751 winning percentage) in Conference USA play. Memphis posted double-digit league wins in 12 of its previous 15 seasons in Conference USA, in-cluding a school-record and league-record tying 16 games in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. Last season, the Tigers fi nished second in the Conference USA regular season standings with a 13-3 league mark. The 13 C-USA wins were tied for the fourth-most for a season in school history, only trailing the three 16-win campaigns (16-0 record) in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. The 2009-10 team’s 13 C-USA wins tied the 2002-03 (13-3 record) and 2005-06 (13-1) squads for the fourth-most league victories in a campaign. Memphis won its fi rst outright C-USA regular season title in 2005-06, and followed that with out-right regular season crowns in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. Memphis also tied for the C-USA regular season crown in 2003-04 (12-4 record) and 1995-96 (11-3). Memphis also won three National Division ti-tles in 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2002-03, and captured two league White Division championships in 1995-96 and 1996-97.

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE For the fourth time this season, a Memphis play-er recorded a double-double. The latest was senior forward Will Coleman’s 19-point, 11-rebound per-formance in the Tigers’ 77-61 win over Marshall Jan. 15. The following tracks the Tigers’ double-doubles throughout the 2010-11 campaign:

Player/Opponent Dbl-DblColeman/Marshall ...................................... 19-11Witherspoon/Lipscomb ..............................28-14Stephens/Western Kentucky ...................... 13-11Witherspoon/NW State ..............................24-12

TIGER SUCCESS IN JANUARY While Memphis has had a lot of success in De-cember since 1999-2000, January has proven to be a better month for the Tigers. Since 1999-2000, the Ti-gers have an impressive 75-19 record (.798 winning percentage) in the month of January. Memphis has won 43 of its last 48 January games (.896 winning percentage).

BOARDIN’ BARTON After he signed with Memphis and leading up to the 2010-11 season, head coach Josh Pastner said Will Barton was the best rebounding guard of the 2010 signing class. The Tigers’ 6-foot-6 guard start-ed off the season slowly on the glass, but is prov-ing his head coach right with his recent play on the boards, and the following shows that:

Games Total Rebounds Avg.1-7 26 3.78-17 53 5.3

SHARING THE WEALTH Although the holiday season has passed, the Tigers are still in the sharing mood. In its Jan. 15 outing, Memphis recorded 20 assists on 29 made baskets versus Marshall. The Tigers have had fi ve games with 20 or more assists and won all fi ve (Centenary, Tennessee Mar-tin, Lipscomb, Tennessee State, Marshall). This sea-son, Memphis leads C-USA and ranked 26th in the country in assists per game (16.2).

HAPPY 300 FOR THE TIGERS!!! With its 68-63 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Dec. 20, Memphis became the third NCAA Division I program to win 300 games in the 21st century (since 2000-01 season). Currently, Mem-phis’ 302 wins are third to Duke’s 338 and Kansas’ 328 victories in that same span of time.

HOW THE FIRST 50 WENT Memphis’ Jan. 12 game versus SMU was the 50th contest of the Josh Pastner era. Despite the loss to the Mustangs, Pastner tied Larry Finch and Wayne Yates for the third-best, 50-game record in school history at 36-14. Bob Vanatta (38-12) and Gene Bartow (37-13) are the only two head coaches in Tiger history with better 50-game marks than Pastner. The following shows how other head coaches did in their fi rst 50 games at Memphis (since 1951-52):

TIGERS LOOKING FOR 13TH DOUBLE-DIG-IT WIN SEASON IN C-USA Another Conference USA season has started, and the Tigers are looking to add another double-digit winning league campaign to its history. In 2009-10, Memphis recorded its 12th season of dou-ble-digit victories in Conference USA play with a 13-3 league record. It was also the fi fth-consecutive year the Tigers recorded double-digit wins in C-USA action. In 2007-08, Memphis posted its 10th season of double-digit league wins, which set the C-USA re-cord. Before the shift in C-USA prior to the 2005-06 campaign, the Tigers were tied for the second-most, double-digit conference win seasons with seven (at

the time tied with Charlotte). The following lists the top-fi ve teams in C-USA history with double-digit conference win seasons:

QUICKEST TO 35 WINS With the Tigers’ win over Tennessee State Jan. 2, Josh Pastner recorded the 35th victory in his short tenure at Memphis. As a result of the victory, Pastner tied Larry Finch for the second-quickest to reach the 35-win plateau in the program’s history.

AT TOP OF CONFERENCE WINS CLASS After only one season at the helm of the Tigers program, Josh Pastner is the winningest coach in school history — for conference wins. With Mem-phis’ 13 Conference USA wins (13-3 record) in 2009-10, Pastner became the program’s winningest fi rst-year head coach in terms of conference victo-ries. For his efforts, Pastner was named the 2009-10 Conference USA Coach of the Year by The Sporting News and collegeinsider.com.

CALL HIM “MR. CLUTCH” Well, freshman Chris Crawford saves his best for last, or at least, for late in the game. In the Tigers’ two wins over Miami (Fla.) and LSU, the 6-foot-4 guard had uncharacteristic poor shooting perfor-mances until late in both contests. Against Austin Peay Dec. 16, Crawford shot the ball well, but left his heroics for late in the game. Although he didn’t score much in the Tigers’ Jan. 8 win over East Carolina, Crawford came up with a huge defensive play in the closing seconds to preserve the victory. The Memphis, Tenn., native made huge late-game plays in all four contests and the following chronicles those:

East Carolina • Jan. 8• After Joe Jackson hits a FT to put Memphis ahead 61-58 with :03 left, East Carolina quickly moves the ball up court, but Crawford intercepts the pass in-tended for Brock Young at the three-point line; his steal preserves the victory

Austin Peay • Dec. 16• Hits two three-pointers in a 19-4 run in the second half to turn a 43-28 defi cit into a 47-all tie; his second trey in the run ties the game at 47-all with 8:35 left in regulation• Nails back-to-back three-pointers in overtime to give Memphis the lead for good at 62-60 with 2:35

left• Assists on Will Coleman layup to extend Memphis’ lead to 67-62 with 1:00 left in overtime• Steals the ball on Austin Peay’s ensuing possession with :51 left in overtime

LSU • Nov. 21• With game tied at 57-all with four minutes left, buries a three-pointer to give Memphis a 60-57 lead with 3:53 left. The trey started a 7-0 run that put the Tigers ahead for good.• Blocks an LSU three-point attempt with 1:34 left, and on Tigers’ ensuing possession, hits another three-pointer to give Memphis a 67-59 lead with 1:02 left

Miami (Fla.) • Nov. 15• Under with two minutes to play (1:53), hits a three-pointer from the left wing to give the Tigers a 66-65 lead. It was Memphis’ fi rst lead since 6:49.• With Memphis clinging to a 68-66 lead with under a minute left, tears away a rebound from a Miami player after the Hurricanes missed a three-pointer for the lead

BARTON NAMED C-USA FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK JAN. 3 For the third-consecutive week, the Conference USA Freshman of the Week honor resides in Mem-

phis. The Tigers’ Antonio Barton was this week’s recipient, the league offi ce announced Jan. 3. It is the fourth time this season a Tiger received this weekly honor. It was Barton’s second C-USA Freshman of the Week accolade, as he also was hon-ored Nov. 15. The other Tigers to earn C-USA Fresh-man of the Week distinction were Chris Crawford on Dec. 20 and Joe Jackson on Dec. 27. In Memphis’ two wins last week, Barton aver-aged 18.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. He shot 66.7 percent from the fl oor, 72.7 percent from the arc and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. Barton scored a career-high 24 points in the Ti-gers’ 91-86 win over Tennessee State Jan. 2. In net-ting his 24 points, the 6-foot-2 guard set career bests for fi eld goals made (6), three-pointers made (5) and free throws made (7). He also shot 75 percent from the fi eld (6-of-8), 83.3 percent from the arc (5-of-6) and 77.8 percent from the charity stripe (7-of-9) in the win over Tennessee State. After scoring only four points in the fi rst half versus Tennessee State, Barton exploded for 20 points — including all fi ve treys — after halftime. With the Tigers down 60-52, the Baltimore, Md., native hit three-pointers on three-straight Memphis possessions to slice the Tennessee State lead to 62-61 with 11:52 left. Barton hit his fourth trey at the 5:09 mark of the second half to give the Tigers a 74-

Hall Transfers To Memphis

6-foot-8 forward from Memphis can practice immediately with Tigers

Head coach Josh Pastner announced the transfer of Ferrakohn Hall to the Tigers basketball program Jan. 6. Hall, a transfer from Seton Hall University, is eligible to practice with the team im-mediately, but will sit out from game action the next two semesters (spring and fall 2011). Hall’s fi rst practice was Jan. 6. The Memphis, Tenn., native’s fi rst game will be at the conclusion of the 2011 fall semester, which is Dec. 15, 2011. “We are welcoming home one of the city’s products in Ferrakohn to the Tigers program,” said Pastner. “Although he can’t suit up for a game until the end of the 2011 fall semester, I expect the addi-tion of Ferrakohn to the squad to provide an impact for our team at every practice, starting Thursday and moving forward.” In his one-and-a-half seasons at Seton Hall, the 6-foot-8 forward played in 39 games and made two starts. Hall averaged 2.9 points and 2.1 rebounds, while shooting 52.2 percent from the fi eld. This season, Hall played in all 10 games and averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds, before an-nouncing he would transfer from the Seton Hall program in mid-December.

Hall scored a career-high 15 points in the Pi-rates’ 104-79 win at UMass on Dec. 11. He also had

career bests for fi eld goals (5), free throws (5) and free throw attempts (7) versus the Minutemen. In a Dec. 8 setback to Arkansas in the SEC/Big East Invitational, Hall earned his second collegiate start and played a season-best 26 minutes. He grabbed a career-high seven rebounds versus the Razorbacks. As a freshman in 2009-10, Hall played in 30 games, averaging 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds and shooting 58.8 percent from the fi eld. He scored a season-best nine points versus Navy and pulled down a season-high six boards versus Hartford. In his fi rst collegiate start at Georgetown, Hall had eight points and three rebounds. Prior to his collegiate career in South Orange, N.J., Hall was a 2009 Tennessee All-State fi rst team pick at White Station High School. As a senior in 2008-09, he averaged 15.4 points and 9.7 boards in helping the Spartans to the 2009 TSSAA Class AAA state crown, the school’s fi rst championship since 2004. In that 2009 title game, Hall grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. For his ef-forts, Hall was an All-District 15 pick and a Com-mercial Appeal “Best of the Preps” fi rst team selec-tion. In his two seasons at White Station, Hall helped lead the Spartans to a 58-20 overall record and back-to-back appearances in the TSSAA Class AAA title game (champion in 2009; runner-up in 2008). Entering his senior season in 2008-09, Hall was rated one of the nation’s top forwards.

73 lead, and a little over two minutes later, connected on his fi fth trifecta to put Memphis ahead for good at 82-79 with 2:34 left. Barton fi nished the game with a 4-of-4 perfor-mance from the free throw line in the fi nal 54 sec-onds to help seal the 91-86 victory. In the win over Lipscomb Dec. 30, Barton had 12 points, three rebounds and two assists. He hit two three-pointers in a 10-0 second-half run that extend-ed a 59-53 Memphis lead to 69-53.

JACKSON NAMED C-USA FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK DEC. 27 Joe Jackson was named the Conference USA Freshman of the Week, the league offi ce announced Dec. 27. It was the third time this season a Tiger re-ceived this weekly honor, as Antonio Barton was selected for the accolade on Nov. 15 and Chris Crawford on Dec. 20. In the two games, Jackson averaged 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals. He shot 33.3 percent from the fl oor, 50 percent from the arc and 92.9 percent from the free throw line. Jackson netted a season-high 23 points in lead-ing the Tigers to a 68-63 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 20. The Memphis, Tenn., native scored his 20 points on 6-of-13 fi eld goals,

2-of-3 three-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws. The fi eld goals made (6), fi eld goal attempts (13), free throws made (9) and free throw attempts (10) all were season bests. He also tied his season high for rebounds with six boards versus the Islanders. In the victory, the 6-foot, 175-pound guard came through in the clutch for Memphis in the second half. With the Tigers down 38-35 at the 12:25 mark of the second half, Jackson scored six of Memphis’ next eight points to give the home team a 43-42 lead with 10:24 left. Then, in the fi nal 4:41 of the game, he scored fi ve (three-pointer, two FT) of the Tigers’ fi nal 15 points to secure the 68-63 win. In the Dec. 23 Georgetown game, Jackson had six points, fi ve rebounds and three assists versus the No. 10/9 Hoyas.

TSAFACK REINJURED KNEE EARLY JANU-ARY; WILL APPLY FOR MEDICAL REDSHIRT With Wesley Witherspoon’s surgery and An-gel Garcia’s decision to play professional ball over-seas at semester’s end, head coach Josh Pastner decided to take the redshirt off freshman Hippolyte Tsafack on Dec. 12. The 6-foot-8 forward played in the Tigers’ two exhibitions, but had not seen action in the regular season until Dec. 16. In his fi rst regular season action versus Austin

Peay Dec. 16, Tsafack played 10 minutes and had three points and one blocked shot. He also played four minutes versus Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Dec. 20 and two minutes versus No. 10/9 George-town Dec. 23. In a Dec. 27 practice, Tsafack suffered a knee injury, but a Dec. 28 MRI was negative. Tsafack, who had seen practice time right after the new year, reinjured his knee in early Janaury and is out for the rest of the season. Tsafack will apply for a medical redshirt at the end of the 2010-11 campaign. Before being redshirted in early November, Tsa-fack played in both of the Tigers’ exhibition contests this season. Against LeMoyne-Owen, he came off the bench and played 11 minutes, scoring two points and pulling down fi ve boards against the Magicians. In the second exhibition versus Christian Brothers, the Yaounde, Cameroon, native played eight min-utes and had three points and two rebounds.

PASTNER SEVENTH-YOUNGEST HEAD COACH IN NCAA DIVISION I IN 2010-11 If you ask Josh Pastner about his age, he just says it’s a number. And it is. However, Pastner’s age makes him one of the youngest head coaches in NCAA Division I in 2010-11. The following lists the youngest head coaches in NCAA Division I:

BEST 10-GAME STARTS LAST 20 YEARS While it wasn’t been pretty, the 2010-11 Tigers posted a 9-1 record in their fi rst 10 games. The 9-1 record tied for the second-best, 10-game start to a season the last 20 years. The lone better 10-game start was the perfect 10-0 record in the 2007-08 season, which ended in a trip to the NCAA championship game.

LAST YEAR’SMEETINGS #2

Memphis 76 • Southern Miss 69Feb. 27, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Memphis struggled early, but used 22 second-half points from Elliot Williams to slide past Southern Miss 76-69 in Conference USA action. Williams’ 22 second-half points are his second-most in a single half this season. He previously scored 25 points in the fi rst half against Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Jan. 9. Roburt Sallie also came up big against the Golden Eagles, scoring 20 points on an effi cient 6-of-8 shooting. Sallie knocked down 5-of-6 from beyond the arc, tying his season high for points. The Tigers struggled early, scoring just four points in the fi rst eight minutes of the contest. That, combined with an 8-0 run by Southern Miss to open the game, allowed the Golden Eagles to take a 15-4 lead with 11:50 remain-ing. Memphis, however, found its rhythm and used back-to-back triples from Sallie and Willie Kemp, coupled with a layup from Will Coleman, to tie the game at 18-all. Neither team could pull away for the rest of the half, and Memphis took a 33-32 advantage into halftime. The Tigers appeared poised to breakaway after an old-fashioned, three-point play from Williams put Mem-phis ahead 42-37 at the 16:02 mark of the second half. Southern Miss, however, responded with an emphatic dunk by Josimar Ayarza and a jumper by R.L. Horton to cut the Memphis lead to one at 42-41. Memphis effectively put the game away when Wil-liams scored fi ve-straight points to put Memphis in front

60-49 with 7:30 remaining. Horton hit three triples down the stretch to keep things close, but Williams nailed 5-of-6 free throws in the last two minutes to seal the victory for Memphis.

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

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

In a game that it dominated throughout, Memphis used scoring from 10 different players and a deluge of trifectas to down Centenary College 104-40 in front of 17,792 fans in the regular season opener. The Tigers were led by freshman Antonio Barton, who scored 17 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He also had five steals and four as-sists in 23 minutes of action. Fellow freshman Chris Crawford was also perfect from the field, finishing with 16 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field in just 13 minutes. Angel Garcia netted 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting and a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe. He also grabbed five rebounds. Sophomore Drew Barham finished with career-highs in both points (13) and reb1 full force, holding the Gents to 26.1 shooting from the field, including just 2-of-15 from beyond the arc. Memphis also forced 28 turnovers, con-verting them into 37 points. The biggest difference in the game for Memphis was its bench which scored 63 of the Tigers’ 104 points. None of the Gents managed double figures, with a trio of players finishing with six points (Jeron Trotman, Aaron Harwell, and Logan Lowery.) Trotman led Centenary with five rebounds, while Harwell added three steals.

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

Nov. 15, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

In a game that had 58 fouls, 13 ties and 15 lead chang-es, No. 19/19 Memphis scrapped its way to a 72-68 non-conference victory over Miami (Fla.) to tip off ESPN’s 24 Hours of Hoops in front of 17,783 raucous fans at FedEx-Forum. Trailing 63-59 after a three-point bucket by Malcolm Grant at the four minute mark in the second half, Wesley Witherspoon intercepted a pass near mid-court and fed a streaking Chris Crawford to narrow the margin to 63-61. After a missed shot by Miami, Witherspoon drew a fouled and calmly stepped to the line and knocked down two from the charity stripe to even the mark at 63 with 2:26 to play. Miami countered as Durand Scott drew another foul and made two free throws to put the Hurricanes back in front 65-63. Crawford again answered the bell, this time with a corner trifecta that sent FedExForum into a frenzy and put Memphis ahead 66-65. Scott went back to the line on the next possession, this time making one of two to again tie the ballgame at 66. Charles Carmouche and Joe Jackson would each make a pair of free throws to keep the Canes’ late push at bay be-fore Antonio Barton’s free throw with 1.5 seconds left put the game out of reach 72-68. Jackson finished with 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting to lead the Tigers, who won despite shooting just 33.9 percent and getting dominated 51-31 on the glass. C a r m o u c h e added 13 points, including 8-of-10 from the charity stripe, and five steals in a team-high 31 minutes. Witherspoon (12) and Antonio Barton (10) were the only other Tigers that finished in double figures. The Miami backcourt of Scott and Grant, which came in averaging a combined 43 points, didn’t disappoint. The duo combined for nearly half of Miami’s points. Scott finished with 20 on 5-of-11 field goals and 9-of-11 free throws, while Grant finished with 18 points. H u r r i c a n e center Reggie Johnson, who was limited in the first half due to foul trouble, found a rhythm after the break and fin-ished with a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds. Memphis held Arian Foster, who led the ACC in three-point shooting last season with a mark of 42.1 per-cent, scoreless in 22 minutes of action. Foster finished 0-of-4 from the arc, and Miami shot just 15.8 percent as a team from three.

Wesley Witherspoon netted his first career double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds and Will Barton added 22 points, including 11-straight in the second half, to lift Memphis past Northwestern State 94-79. Led by 14 first-half points from Witherspoon, the Tigers took a 57-44 lead into the break, but the Demons countered with a 21-9 run to open the second half and take the lead 63-61 at the 13:12 mark. The Tigers responded immediately. Joe Jackson found an open Barton in the corner for a trifecta to put the Ti-gers back on top 64-63. Barton then picked Devon Baker’s pocket near midcourt before gathering the ball and going up for an emphatic two-handed jam to extend the Memphis advantage to 66-63. The Demons’ William Mosley answered on the other end with a layup to narrow the gap to 66-65, but Barton countered again with another three-pointer to extend the Memphis advantage to 69-65. From that point, the Tigers closed the game on a 25-14 run. Barton finished with eight boards and three steals to complement his 22 points in 31 minutes of action. Tarik Black scored all of his nine points in the second half and was a presence inside for Memphis. Fellow big man Angel Garcia also added nine points, all coming in the first half. Jackson, who led Memphis against Miami with 17 points, finished with eight points and three assists. Will Pratt led Northwestern State with 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in 30 minutes of play. Devon Baker (15 points) and Louis Ellis (11) were the only other Demons to finish in double figures. After being outrebounded by 20 in its previous game against Miami, Memphis dominated the Demons on the glass 42-28. The Tigers pulled down 19 offensive rebounds and converted them into 20 second-chance points. It was the highest rebounding margin (+14) since Memphis out-rebounded UCF by 14 on Feb. 10 of last season.

Global Sports Challenge

Behind Wesley Witherspoon’s 20 points, No. 19/19 Memphis showed grit and tenacity on its way to a 70-61 victory over LSU in front of 7,941 fans at BancorpSouth Arena in the Global Sports Challenge. It was the largest crowd to watch a basketball game at BancorpSouth Arena. Memphis found itself in a first-half hole for the first time this season, as LSU took a 34-33 lead into the break on the strength of 12 first-half points from Aaron Dotson. After the break, Memphis came out of the locker room firing and used a 6-0 early second-half run to regain the lead at 39-34 at the 17:23 mark after a Joe Jackson steal and coast-to-coast finish. LSU, though. responded with a 6-2 run to narrow the gap to 41-40 on a contested triple from Andre Stringer, who finished with a team-high 13 points. Chris Crawford answered on the ensuing possession for Memphis, driving through the left side of the lane and using the backboard to go up and under for an “and-one” layup that keyed an 8-0 run for a 49-40 advantage. LSU again responded. This time, the visiting Tigers put together a 12-4 run to climb within one at 53-52 at the 5:39 mark. An old fashioned three-point play by Jackson put Memphis ahead 55-52, before LSU answered with a trifecta from Ralston Turner and a layup by Stringer to take the lead 57-56. After Tarik Black split a pair of free throws to notch the game at 57, Jackson found Crawford alone in the corner. Crawford, who had struggled finding his range throughout the game, calmly received the pass and swished home the three-ball to put Memphis in front for good at 60-57 with 3:53 to play. An emphatic dunk by Witherspoon on the next Tiger possession gave Memphis a 62-57 lead with less than three minutes to play. Another triple from Crawford at the 1:02 mark ex-tended the Tiger lead to eight at 67-59 and put the game out of reach. Jackson iced the game in the final minute, hitting 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.

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

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

Will Coleman scored a career-high 20 points and add-ed seven rebounds off the bench to lead No. 14/15 Mem-phis past Tennessee Martin 102-80 in a non-conference encounter. Coleman, who was held scoreless in 13 minutes of action in the previous contest against LSU, responded in a big way against the Skyhawks. The 6-foot-9 junior scored on an array of crowd-pleasing and emphatic dunks, as he led the Tigers to their second 100-point plus performance of the season. Freshman Will Barton, also coming off the bench, fin-ished with 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, and ju-nior Angel Garcia finished with 15 points and nine boards in a reserve role. The Tigers reserves racked up 60 points against the Skyhawks. Joe Jackson (16 points) and Wesley Witherspoon (14) were the only other Tigers in double figures. Memphis outplayed Tennessee Martin in nearly every facet of the game, leading from start to finish and assisting on 29 of 38 baskets. Memphis also took advantage of its superiority in size, accumulating a season-high 56 points in the paint. Witherspoon started the scoring outbreak for Mem-phis on the first possession of the game, as he controlled the ball at the top of the key before driving for an easy lefty lay-in. Witherspoon scored seven of the first 11 points for Memphis, and the Tigers continued to get easy looks throughout the contest, finishing 38-of-74 from the field (51.4 percent) and converting 19 Skyhawk turnovers into 31 points. Reuben Clayton, a Memphis native, led the way for Tennessee Martin, scoring 20 points and pulling down 10 boards. However, 15 of Clayton’s 20 points came in the opening half. Terence Smith (14 points) and Mike Liabo (10) were the only other Skyhawks in double figures. Ten-nessee Martin finished the game shooting 49.2 percent (29-of-59) from the floor, including 8-of-17 from beyond the arc.

GAME #6#14/15 Memphis 78 • Arkansas St. 71 (OT)

Dec. 1, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Will Barton scored 20 points and added six rebounds in a career-high 39 minutes to lead No. 14/15 Memphis past Arkansas State 78-71 in a non-conference overtime thriller at FedExForum. Memphis sprinted out to a 25-7 advantage after the Red Wolves made just two of their first 20 attempts from the floor and cruised to a 35-24 halftime advantage. Arkan-sas State opened the second half on a 9-2 run to cut the lead to 37-33 at the 17:54 mark, but the Tigers responded and quickly built the lead back to 50-40 with 14:13 to play. The Red Wolves, however, wouldn’t go away, as they cut the lead to as few as three on three different occasions before a three-point basket by Daniel Bryant cut the Tigers’ lead to 65-64 with 2:10 to play. Bryant made one-of-two free throws with 35 seconds remaining to tie the game at 65-all and send it to overtime. With Memphis big man Will Coleman fouled out, Arkansas State fed it down low to Martavius Adams, who converted back-to-back buckets to give the Red Wolves their first lead of the game at 69-65 with 3:52 remaining in overtime. Memphis finally snapped out of its offensive funk and went on a decisive 9-0 run sparked by a determined drive and left-handed layup by Wesley Witherspoon to narrow the gap to 69-67. Joe Jackson stole the ball on the ensuing Red Wolves’ possession and drove for a fast-break layup to knot the game at 69-all. Charles Carmouche buried two free throws on Mem-phis’ next possession after being fouled on a drive to put the Tigers back in front at 71-69. After an Adams’ missed jumper, Jackson again drove to the hole, and this time, con-verting a three-point play to give Memphis a 74-69 advan-tage and put the game out of reach. Jackson finished with 10 points, joining Barton (20), Witherspoon (10) and Antonio Barton (1) as the only Ti-gers to finish in double figures. Bryant finished with 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting to lead Arkansas State. Memphis native Donald Boone chipped in 12 points. Adams (11 points) and Malcoln Kirkland (10) also finished in double figures for the Red Wolves.

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

Dec. 4, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Coming into Saturday’s matchup against Western Kentucky, Memphis (7-0) needed someone to emerge on the inside. D.J. Stephens did just that by totaling career highs in points (11) and rebounds (13) in a series of above-the-rim plays en route to leading the Tigers to a 77-61 vic-tory over the Hilltoppers (3-5) at FedExForum. Freshmen Joe Jackson (15) and Tarik Black (11) were the only other Tigers to finish in double-digits in a game that saw Memphis commit 21 turnovers and lose the battle of the boards, 43-41. WKU finished with 25 offensive re-bounds, which resulted in 21 second-chance points. The Tigers overcame that sloppy play by exploiting their size on the inside and forcing the Hilltoppers into 20 turnovers of their own. Memphis finished with 46 points in the paint and 20 points off the 21 WKU turnovers. WKU was led by 16 points from Sergio Kerusch, who added eight rebounds in 29 minutes. Ken Brown (10) was the only other Hilltopper that finished in double figures. The Memphis defense held Juan Patillo to just six points on 1-of-10 shooting from the floor. Pattillo came in as WKU’s leading scorer at nearly 17 points per contest. Memphis took a 47-31 advantage into halftime and was keyed by 11 first-half points from Jackson, who also provided what was perhaps the highlight of the season thus far. The Hilltoppers refused to go away, however, as they cut the lead to single digits on two different occasions in the second half. Memphis was able to respond each time, however. Kerusch made it a 53-45 game at the 13:06 mark on a layup before Wesley Witherspoon responded with an emphatic slam for Memphis on the other end. WKU narrowed the deficit to nine again seven min-utes later, this time on Pattillo’s only field goal of the night at the 6:44 mark that narrowed the Tiger lead to 61-52. Five straight points by Will Coleman, however, effectively put the game out of reach, as the Tigers closed the game on a 16-9 run. Coleman and Witherspoon each finished with seven points in the contest. Black’s 11 points were a career-high, and the freshmen from Memphis, Tenn., also added a ca-reer-best four rejections.

GAME #8#4/4 Kansas 81 • #13/14 Memphis 68

Dec. 7, 2010 • New York, N.Y.Jimmy V Classic

Kansas’ physical play proved too much for Memphis, as the No. 13/14 Tigers fell to the No. 4/4 Jayhawks 81-68 at Madison Square Garden. The game was part of the Jimmy V Classic doubleheader. Will Barton scored 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting and and pulled down seven rebounds in the losing effort for Memphis. Chris Crawford added 15 points, while Charles Carmouche was the only other Tiger in double figures with 12 points. Memphis battled back from being down eight points on two different occasions in the first half and narrowed the deficit to 37-35 at halftime on the strength of Crawford’s 12 first-half points. Tarik Black tied the game at 39-all for the Tigers with two free throws at the 18:21 mark of the second half, but Kansas countered with a 9-0 run to recapture the lead 48-39 at the 16:05 mark. The Tigers narrowed the margin to 50-45 on a layup from Will Barton with 14:07 to play, but that was the closest Memphis got the remainder of the con-test. Kansas went on a 10-1 run capped by an Elijah John-son dunk at the 10:10 mark to extend the lead to double digits for good. Twin post players Markieff and Marcus Morris led the attack for the Jayhawks, scoring 16 points and 14 points, respectively. Tyshawn Taylor (13 points) and Thomas Robinson (10) also finished in double digits for Kansas. Memphis struggled shooting the ball, making just 27-of-72 (37.5 percent) attempts from the floor, includ-ing 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Black and Witherspoon added eight points apiece, but went at com-bined 6-of-21 from the floor. The Tigers forced 22 Jayhawk turnovers, but were outworked on the glass 44-31.

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

Dec. 16, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Despite trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half, Memphis fought back to force overtime and eventu-ally escaped with a 70-68 non-conference victory over Austin Peay. The Tigers committed 14 first-half turnovers and shot just 34.8 percent in the opening period, but still enjoyed a 24-19 cushion heading into the break. Four-straight turnovers to start the second half quickly turned into a 16-0 Governors run that put Memphis on its heels. Scoring 21-straight over seven minutes that spanned both halves, Austin Peay turned a 24-14 deficit into a 35-24 lead just three minutes into the second half. Sparked by his own four-point play at the 16:45 mark, Charles Carmouche single-handedly willed the Tigers back into the game by scoring or assisting on Memphis’ first 20 points of the second half. The Tigers finally came back to tie the contest after a corner triple from Chris Crawford that capped a 19-4 Memphis run and knotted the game at 47-all with 8:35 to play. Memphis again was trailing in the closing minutes. Down 56-53 with 27 seconds left, Will Barton drew a foul and headed to the line. Barton made the first and missed the second, but a fortuitous bounce off the rebound allowed Memphis to get the ball back trailing 56-54. The other Barton brother responded this time, as An-tonio took the ball on the right wing and took two dribbles before lofting a 12-foot floater up and in to tie the game at 56 and force overtime. Clutch three-point shooting by Memphis in the extra period proved to be enough to lift the Tigers past the Gover-nors. Crawford nailed two trifectas and assisted on another by Will Barton, as the Tigers jumped out to a 68-62 advan-tage with just under a minute to play. Austin Peay refused to lay down, tough, as triples from Melvin Baker and Justin Blake brought the Gover-nors back within 69-68 with 13 seconds to play. After Will Barton made 1-of-2 free throws to extend the advantage to 70-68, the Tigers locked down on defense and forced a missed three-point attempt from Blake at the buzzer. Austin Peay won the battle on the glass 51-41, and both squads committed over 20 miscues apiece (UofM 24; APSU 20).

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

Dec. 20, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Freshman Joe Jackson scored a career-high 23 points and Memphis survived another close call, as the Tigers hung on to beat Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 68-63 at Fe-dExForum. The Tigers found themselves ahead 20-14 with eight minutes to go in the first half, but cold shooting allowed the Islanders to reel off an 8-0 run to grab the lead at 22-20 with 6:10 to go before the break. Memphis responded with its own 6-0 mini-run, but Texas A&M-Corpus Christi finished the first half on a 7-2 spurt to claim a 29-28 advan-tage going into intermission. Memphis came out of the break and regained the lead 33-29 after a triple from Jackson and a layup from Will Coleman, who finished with 15 points, nine boards, and four blocks in a team-high 32 minutes. The Islanders again responded and went on a 9-2 run to retake the lead at 38-35 with 12:25 remaining in the game. Memphis battled back again and trailed by only two points at 45-43 with just under 10 minutes to play. After back-to-back layups from Jackson, Antonio Barton drove hard to the bucket for the hoop and was fouled. He converted the free throw for an old-fashioned three-point play that put Memphis ahead for good 46-45. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi cut the lead to three on four different occasions in the final 6:14, but clutch free throw shooting and solid ball handling allowed the Tigers to keep the Islanders at bay. Drew Barham split a pair of free throws with 33 sec-onds remaining to make it a two-possession game at 65-61, and after his second free throw missed the mark, Chris Crawford got the rebound. Memphis played keep-away for 12 seconds until Will Barton was fouled with :21 left. He hit both charity tosses to put the game away for Memphis. Charles Carmouche, coming off a 16-point perfor-mance against Austin Peay, was the only other Tiger to finish in double figures. The junior transfer from New Or-leans finished with 12 points and six rebounds in 31 min-utes. Hollis Hill led the Islanders with 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting in 21 minutes off the bench. Terence Jones and Justin Reynolds finished with 11 points apiece. Demond Watt led the visitors on the glass with eight boards.

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

Dec. 23, 2010 • Memphis, Tenn.

Georgetown’s Austin Freeman scored a game-high 24 points and Julian Vaughn posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 boards to lift the No. 10/9 Hoyas to an 86-69 non-conference win over No. 16/17 Memphis in an ESPN2 nationally-televised game from FedExForum. Chris Wright added 19 points for the visitors. Will Barton led the Tigers with 18 points, seven re-bounds and three assists. Will Coleman had 12 points and six boards, while Tarik Black added 10 points. After an inspiring late first-half run, Memphis opened the second half hoping to continue that momentum swing. The more-experienced Hoyas, though, had another plan — open the second half with a spurt to put the game out of reach. And that’s what Georgetown did. The Hoyas went on a 10-4 run to start the second half and extended their halftime lead from 40-36 to 50-40. Vaughn paced the run with four of his 15 points. Memphis cut the Hoyas’ lead to nine at 54-45 on a D.J. Stephens thunder dunk at the 15:39 mark, but the Tigers got no clos-er the rest of the contest. Memphis cut the Georgetown lead to nine points three other times, with the last coming at 67-58 with 6:20 left. From there, the Hoyas steadily pulled away for the win, outscoring Memphis 19-11 in the final six minutes. In the first half, the game was neck-and-neck in the early going. Memphis grabbed a four-point lead at 22-18 at the 10:03 mark, but Georgetown responded with an 8-0 spurt to take a 26-22 advantage. The Hoyas did not trail again in the game. Georgetown shot 56.9 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from the three-point line. The Hoyas had 18 assists and only 11 turnovers. Memphis hit 39.4 percent from the field and 31.6 per-cent from the arc. The Tigers won the battle on the boards, out-rebounding Georgetown 36-33. The Tigers dished out 15 assists, but committed 14 turnovers.

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

Wesley Witherspoon posted a double-double of 28 points and 14 boards and Will Barton added 15 points, six boards and five assists to lift No. 21/22 Memphis to an 88-70 non-conference victory over Lipscomb. Joe Jackson (13 points) and Antonio Barton (12) also netted double figures for the Tigers. Jackson dished out a career-high eight assists, while Witherspoon had three boards and three steals. Will Cole-man scored six points and grabbed seven boards. Adnan Hodzic led Lipscomb with 22 points and seven boards. Josh Slater added 12 points, four boards and six as-sists (team high), and Brandon Brown scored 10 points and pulled down four boards. The Tigers led 29-16 with 8:32 left in the first half and looked like they were going to pull away. The Bisons, though, put together a 16-6 rally to cut the Memphis advan-tage to 35-32 with 2:01 on the clock. Hodzic (10 points) and Slater (four points) paced the Lipscomb run. After a Lipscomb 30-second timeout, Memphis closed the first half with a 7-0 spurt to take a 42-32 lead into halftime. Will Barton started the run with a dunk, and Chris Crawford struck next with a three-pointer. Antonio Barton closed the spurt with a layup. In the second half, Lipscomb stayed within striking distance at 59-53 with 13:26 left in the game. The Tigers, though, answered with a 16-6 run to increase their lead to 75-59 with 6:52 left and put the game out of reach. Antonio Barton ignited the spurt with two treys. Memphis shot 54 percent from the field and 50 per-cent from the three-point line (11-of-22). The Tigers re-corded 21 assists on 34 made baskets. Memphis won the battle of the glass for the third-straight game 42-23. The Bisons shot 46 percent from the field and 72.7 percent from the charity stripe. Lipscomb, however, man-aged to hit only 19 percent from the arc (4-of-21). The Memphis defense forced 15 Bisons turnovers, but the Tigers committed 18 misuces.

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

Jan. 2, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Antonio Barton scored a career-high 24 points, in-cluding 20 in the second half, and No. 21/22 Memphis sur-vived a three-point shooting onslaught to defeat Tennessee State 91-86 at FedExForum. After defeating Lipscomb 88-70 Dec. 30, Memphis again found itself in back-and-forth affair, as Tennessee State seemed to have a long range answer for every Tiger run. Both teams shot above 50 percent in the first half, as Tennessee State connected on 10-of-11 three-point at-tempts in the first 20 minutes of play. Memphis countered with solid offensive sets in the halfcourt and used its ad-vantage inside to counter the shooting barrage. Led by Tarik Black’s 15 first-half points off the bench, Memphis came back to tie the game at 43-all at halftime af-ter trailing 35-28 with less than eight minutes to play. Will Barton also added 10 in the first half. Tennessee State didn’t slow down after halftime, as the visiting Tigers came out firing in the second half and put Memphis on its heels after a layup from Kenny Moore put Tennessee State ahead 60-52 with 13:06 to play. On the next Memphis possession, the Tigers swung the ball around the perimeter before Joe Jackson found Antonio Barton open at the top of the key. Barton took the pass and drilled the open look, and then did the same thing on the next two Memphis trips. Barton’s three-straight trifectas brought Memphis to within one at 62-61. Both Tigers went back and forth for the remainder of the game — there were nine lead changes in the contest — before Antonio Barton’s fifth triple with 2:34 remaining gave Memphis the lead for good at 82-79. A three-pointer by Moore with 22 seconds left brought Tennessee State back to within 87-86, but Mem-phis scored four-straight points to finish the game. Moore led the three-point onslaught for Tennessee State, as the forward made 5-of-6 from deep en route to scoring 22 points. Wil Peters (17), Robert Covington (16), Patrick Miller (12) and Jacquan Nobles (11) all finished in double figures for Tigers, which was seeking their first ever victory over a ranked foe.

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

Jan. 5, 2011 • Knoxville, Tenn.

Tennessee made 12-of-21 from long range and led from start to finish in a 104-84 victory over Memphis at Thompson-Boling Arena. Will Coleman scored 17 points and Will Barton added 14 of his own, but the Tigers struggled from the field (30-of-65) and the charity stripe (14-of-26) and couldn’t mount a comeback against the hot-shooting Volunteers. Melvin Goins started the barrage of trifectas for Ten-nessee just 44 seconds into the game when he took a pass from Scotty Hopson and drained the triple for an early 3-0 advantage. Memphis fought back to narrow the deficit to 14-10 after a triple from Charles Carmouche at the 15:40 mark, but Tennessee responded with 10-0 run to seize control of the contest and never looked back. Despite the Tigers clos-ing the first half on a 7-0 run sparked by five points from D.J. Stephens, the Volunteers took a 49-34 lead into the break. Freshmen Tobias Harris led the way for Tennessee, scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 points in a double-dou-ble effort, as the Volunteers outrebounded the Tigers 41-33 and scored 42 points in the paint. Scotty Hopson went 6-of-12 from the field en route to a 16-point performance, while Goins made all four of his attempts from deep on the way to scoring 15 points. Stephens finished with nine points and six rebounds in the losing effort, while Drew Barham and Antonio Bar-ton finished with nine points and eight points, respectively. Memphis committed 16 turnovers which led to 23 Tennes-see points and allowed the Volunteers to score 19 points in transition. Tennessee shot 53.7 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from the arc. Memphis hit 46.2 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from the three-point line.

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

Jan. 8, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Despite going scoreless from the floor for the final 5:23, Memphis scrapped out a 61-58 victory over East Carolina in the Conference USA opener for both teams. After allowing 104 points in a Jan. 5 loss at Tennes-see, defense was a focal point, as Memphis held the Pi-rates to 5-of-17 shooting in the opening half. The Tigers out-rebounded ECU 21-11 en route to a 33-21 advantage at the half. A slow second-half start again proved troublesome for Memphis. The Pirates outscored the Tigers 28-16 in the first 12 minutes to tie the game at 49-all. East Carolina hit 5-of-8 from beyond the arc in its run. The Pirates briefly held the lead at 52-51 after an and-one dunk from Darrius Morrow at the 7:16 mark. Memphis regained the lead on a pair of free throws from Tarik Black on its next possession, but again found itself tied with East Carolina at 56-all with 3:51 to play. Memphis, however, is no stranger to late-game dra-ma, as seven of its 12 victories have been by nine or fewer points, and the Tigers again rallied late for the win against the Pirates. Wesley Witherspoon stepped to the line with 2:54 to play and swished two free throws through to put Memphis ahead for good at 58-56. Free throws from Antonio Barton and Joe Jackson on the Tigers’ next two possessions gave Memphis a 61-58 lead with :03 left. Chris Crawford then intercepted a pass intended to set up Brock Young for a game-tying three-pointer to seal the victory. Black finished with 12 points and seven rebounds while battling foul trouble throughout the second half. Coleman finished with 11 points, including going 7-of-12 from the charity stripe, as the senior finished in double fig-ures for the second-straight game. Morrow led the way for the Pirates, finishing with 17 points and eight rebounds in a game-high 33 minutes. Ja-mar Abrams (15) and Young (10) were the only other ECU players to finish in double figures.

GAME #16SMU 64 • Memphis 58

Jan. 12, 2011 • Dallas, Texas

The host SMU Mustangs used a 17-0 second-half run and shot 56.3 percent from beyond the arc en route to up-setting Memphis 64-58 in a Conference USA encounter at Moody Coliseum. The Tigers led 48-37 after a dunk by Tarik Black at the 11:18 mark. However, a Memphis cold-shooting streak coupled with empty trips at the free throw line — 0-of-9 from the charity stripe in the second half — were too much for the Tigers to overcome. Papa Dia scored five-straight points, capped by a reverse layup and three-point play with 3:16 left, to give SMU its first lead of the game at 51-48. Collin Mangrum, who finished with 15 points in the game, then buried a triple on the next possession to extend the lead to 54-48 with under three minutes to go. Joe Jackson responded on the next possession with a layup — the first Tiger score since the 11:20 mark — to cut the lead to 54-50 with 2:02 to play. Jackson was whistled for palming the basketball on the next possession, how-ever, and Magrum capitalized with a follow-up layup on the ensuing Mustangs’ possession to push the lead back to six at 56-50. A missed jumper by Jackson on the next possession forced the Tigers to foul, and Robert Nyakundi made two free throws to give SMU its largest lead of the night at 58-50 with 39 seconds on the clock. Wesley Witherspoon and Will Barton connected from long range in the final 30 seconds, but the Tigers missed five free throws down the stretch and couldn’t close the gap. Jackson led the Tigers with 15 points, while Wither-spoon was the only other Memphis player to finish in dou-ble figures with 11 points. Tarik Black added nine points and five rebounds. For a second-straight season, Dia led the Mustangs to a victory at home over the Tigers, scoring 21 points and pulling down 10 boards. Nyakundu and Mangrum added 15 points of apiece for SMU.

GAME #17Memphis 77 • Marshall 61

Jan. 15, 2011 • Memphis, Tenn.

Senior Will Coleman posted his first double-double of the season (19 points, 11 rebounds), and Memphis scored 48 points in the paint as the Tigers never trailed in a 77-61 Conference USA victory over Marshall at FedExForum. After the Tigers jumped out to an early 8-2 advantage, the Thundering Herd battled back to tie the game at 15-all on a Dago Pena trey. A nifty layup by Antonio Barton and a triple from Charles Carmouche on the ensuing Memphis possessions sparked a 20-0 run as Memphis extended its lead to 35-15 at the 6:03 mark. The Tigers shot 17-of-27 (63 percent) from the floor and held Marshall to just 26.9 percent shooting in the open-ing half, while dominating the Thundering Herd on the glass 21-12. Memphis took a 45-28 advantage into half-time. The Thundering Herd never got back into the game after going without a field goal for over six minutes dur-ing the Tigers’ decisive first-half run. Marshall found itself within 51-41 after an old-fashioned three-point play from Damier Pitts, but an emphatic putback jam from D.J. Ste-phens and a Carmouche triple on the next two Tiger pos-sessions effectively put the game out of reach. Carmouche finished with 16 points, connecting on all three of his trey attempts and hitting 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. Freshman Tarik Black, who played alongside Cole-man for much of the game, finished just one rebound short of his own double-double with 12 points and nine boards. Will Barton settled into his mid-range game against the Thundering Herd, making 7-of-9 shots from inside the arc in a 15-point, five-assist effort. DeAndre Kane led Marshall with 16 points and five rebounds, while Tirrell Baines added 15 points of his own. Pitts finished with 14 points, but shot just 4-of-16 from the floor. The Tigers finished the game shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 72.7 percent from the free throw line. Memphis won the battle on the glass 39-29. The Tigers de-fense held Marshall to 37 percent shooting from the floor and 22.2 percent from the three-point arc.
