March 10, 2019 Final: Memphis 66, Tulsa 63. Closer than Tigers wanted but you’ll take the win on Senior Night. Jeremiah Martin w/game-high 20pts/6rebs/6assts. Penny’s 11 AAC wins in his 1st season most for Memphis since first yr in AAC (won 12 in 13-14), and this best league been top to bottom.

March 10, 2019 FINAL: Memphis 66, Tulsa 63. The Tigers will be the 5-seed in next week’s AAC Tournament — and a real bid-stealing threat. Like I tweeted in January, nobody will be a significant favorite over them at FedExForum. According to Sagarin, Houston would only be -4, Cincinnati -2.
