The Memphis Tigers, coming off a rough loss to South Florida, took a different approach against Cincinnati starting out with a 35 to 29 lead after the 1st half. It wouldn't last as Memphis lost the 2nd half by 11 points. Final: #25 Cincinnati 69 Memphis 64
Final: No. 25 Cincinnati 69, Memphis 64. Jeremiah Martin w/ 26; Parks with 11pts/9rebs. But not enough against a Bearcats team that pretty much outworked/outhustled Memphis everywhere in 2nd half. Memphis not mentally tough/disciplined enough right now to win Quad 1 games (0-7).
