Memphis CONFERENCEPOSTSEASON TOURNAMENT

NOTES

In 2005 and 2011, Memphis did more than win one game in the conference postseason tour-nament.

The 2005 Tigers, a No. 7 seed, got on a roll and advanced to the Conference USA champion-ship game, where they dropped a heart-break-ing 75-74 decision to Louisville.

As the No. 4 seed in the 2011 C-USA Champi-onship, the Tigers put together a run for the ages in Memphis lore. The Tigers overcame an 11-pointdeficitinthefinalminutesforathrill-ing 67-66 victory over UTEP on the Miners homecourt.

TIGERS LOVE FRIDAY THE 13TH For those superstitious types, they try every-

thing to avoid a Friday the 13th. But, for the Tigers, Friday the 13th has been

perfection. In the modern era of college basketball (since

World War II), Memphis is a perfect 6-0 in Fri-day the 13th games.

Included in that 6-0 record is a 2-0 mark on Mar. 13 in conference postseason tournaments.

Under head coach Josh Pastner, Memphis is 2-0 in Friday the 13th games.

The following shows the Tigers success in Fri-day the 13th contests:

The only season the Tigers did not have double-digit wins in conference play was 2004-05 when they went 9-7 in Conference USA.

Over the last 15 years (includes 2014-15), Memphis has averaged nearly 13 conference wins per season (12.6 league wins per season, to be exact).

season, and is in the No. 5 spot on the Tigers single-season blocks chart.

However, with his recent ankle/bone bruise in-jury, Nichols climb up the chart will be delayed.

tigers success in the classroomUNDER PASTNER Head coach Josh Pastner stresses the impor-

tance of players earning their degrees, and it shows in his numbers.

Since taking over the program in 2009, 20 play-ers have earned their degrees.

Of those 20 players, seven earned their diplo-mas in under 3.5 years.

The latest to graduate under Pastner were Mi-chael Dixon Jr. and Geron Johnson, both of whom graduated in May of 2014.

The next up to graduate is junior Shaq Good-win, who is on track to graduate in the summer of 2014.
