February 27, 2019 More here from the 92.9 Staff:
Final: Memphis 81, Temple 73. Jeremiah Martin continues to look like best player in the conference, scoring game-high 30 points on 11-of-16 FGs. His Feb has been nothing short of remarkable. Penny hasn’t lost to same AAC team twice yet. We’ll see if that holds up Sat at Cincy.

February 27, 2019 This Jeremiah Martin story is really spectacular. I really like him. Met him at Penny’s presser. Just seems like a humble kid, and he’s doing his thing now. Overcoming injuries and leading Memphis.
