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.
