No. 19 Memphis meets Rice in matchup of teams on different paths

It's not always as impressive as its fans -- or probably its players and coaches -- would prefer, but No. 19 Memphis continues to win even when it doesn't play its best. After muddling through a first half in which it led by only three points in a 68-56 American Athletic Conference win at Tulane on Thursday night, the Tigers will try for a more consistent performance Sunday afternoon when they journey to Houston for a conference date with struggling Rice. "As long as you win those games, I'm not going to look at everything as a negative," Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said.
