MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis guard Jeremiah Martin scored a career-high 43 points to continue a remarkable late-season run and led the Tigers to a 102-76 American Athletic Conference victory Wednesday night at FedExForum.
Martin, who earlier this season scored 41 at USF, became the first UofM player to score 40 or more points twice in a career. In the second half, he had 26 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals to help the Tigers (16-11, 8-6 The American) pull away from the Green Wave (4-21, 0-13 The American).
"I'm thankful to have him here," Tigers coach Penny Hardaway said of his senior point guard.
