Dain Dainja, No. 18 Memphis seek to exploit interior vs. Rice

When Dain Dainja poses a danger to opponents on the interior, No. 18 Memphis might be as dangerous as any other team. Dainja certainly was at his best Sunday during the Tigers' 84-65 victory over Florida Atlantic, tying his career high with 22 points and finishing just one rebound off his season high with 11. The effort was a far cry from his four points and one rebound during Memphis' 84-79 overtime loss at Wichita State on Feb. 16 in the Tigers' previous game. Dainja and the Tigers will aim for another big game on Wednesday night when they try to stay atop the American Athletic Conference with a matchup against visiting Rice.
