Memphis’ defense continues to keep the Tigers in the title contest of the normal season of the American Athletic Conference.
The Tigers (13-6, 9-3 AAC) are among the 15 most sensitive defenses in the country, giving 62 problems consistent with the game and 60. 3 to the opponents of the convention. On Friday night, in a 61-46 home win over Tulane, Memphis kept the green wave at 25. 9% of shots, a low season for one of his opponents.
Memphis has won four consecutive games and is heading to what appears to be another favorable game sunday afternoon, his Cincinnati vacation.
The Tigers have not won a convention name since winning the normal season of the US Conference. But it’s not the first time And the tournament crown of the 2012-13 season, the year before joining the AAFC.
But Memphis would have to sweep in his last three games against the Bearcats, South Florida and Houston and a little while the Tigers try to overthrow the Cougars and Wichita State.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, the road has become more difficult on Friday when the convention moved its last opponent’s siege to Houston to the Cougars field. The Tigers are also unlikely to reschedule a postponed game against Wichita State, as it would create a four-game away streak in 8 days.
“It is vital that we be consistent with convention protocols in similar situations. I admit I’m very frustrated because you can’t achieve a more artistic solution,” said Memphis sports director Laird Veatch.
The Bearcats (9-8, 7-5) average 69. 2 game-consistent issues, led by Keith Williams’ 14. 4 issues and 4. 0 rebounds consistent with the williams game and David DeJulius formed a difficult combo for Cincinnati with an average of 10 problems, 5. 1 rebounds and 4. 6 assists.
Cincinnati had a 90-52 beating in Houston by winning back-to-back games against Tulsa and Tulane last week. The Bearcats had a surprisingly rare victory after five of their first six convention victories were for three problems or less.
“I told them after the game, “There’s nothing to gain by 10 or 15″ because at this point in the game, I’d like to sit down and watch the last two minutes,” Cincinnati coach John Brannen said after the team’s 70s. -69 win over Tulsa on Wednesday.
Landers Nolley II (13. 4 game-consistent issues) leads Memphis to score and network from 3-point diversity (39%) and the loose firing line (83. 7%).
