Memphis Tigers
Last time out, Memphis visited the UCF Knights and left with a 107-104 overtime loss. This game was a joy to watch as it was back-and-forth from the word go. UCF held a slight advantage at the half, but the Tigers were able to get rid of that by the end of regulation. The Knights are the better team and that showed in the extra period. Memphis led by as many as 14 points, trailed by as much as 13, and could not cover the +3.0-point spread.
Kendric Davis went off for 42 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals on the night. Elijah McFadden added 18 points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block in the defeat.
Through 17 games, Memphis is scoring 79.6 points per game, shooting 47.3% from the field, and assisting on 16.0 made shots. The Tigers are allowing 72.4 points, grabbing 36.4 rebounds, blocking 5.3 shots, and stealing the ball 9.8 times.
Temple Owls
Temple took a trip to Tulsa and left with a 76-72 win over the Golden Hurricane. The Owls were in control throughout this game, but Tulsa did make it uncomfortable a few different moments. Temple led by as many as 20 points, never trailed by more than three, and just covered the -3.5-point spread.
Zach Hicks had 14 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal on the night. Khalif Battle came off the bench and added 13 points, four rebounds, and three assists in the victory.
After 18 games, Temple is scoring 69.6 points per game, shooting 43.0% from the field, and assisting on 13.2 made shots. The Owls are allowing 69.2 points, grabbing 35.2 rebounds, blocking 4.1 shots, and stealing the ball 4.8 times.
