No. 22 Memphis, FAU look to shake off loss to same foe

Despite their impressive record and first-place standing in the American Athletic Conference, the Memphis Tigers find their NCAA Tournament resume weakening in the eyes of many prognosticators. The 22nd-ranked Tigers will try to get back on track when they host Florida Atlantic on Sunday in Memphis. The Tigers (21-5, 11-2 AAC) had an eight-game winning streak snapped in an 84-79 overtime loss at Wichita State on Feb. 16. Coincidentally, Florida Atlantic (15-11, 8-5) also is coming off a loss to the Shockers in its most recent game, on Thursday. Memphis, although still projected to make the NCAA Tournament, has seen its projected seeding slip a few spots in multiple brackets.
