MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Four days after posting a remarkable comeback against USF in an American Athletic Conference victory in Tampa, the University of Memphis will be back home Thursday night at FedExForum hoping to add another, albeit win with less dramatics.
The No. 22 Tigers (13-3, 2-1 AAC) recovered from a 14-point deficit against USF behind the heroics of Precious Achiuwa and Tyler Harris. Achiuwa finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds for his fifth-straight double-double and ninth of the season. Harris dropped in 17 points for the second-straight game.
Against Cincinnati (10-6, 3-1 AAC), the Tigers will be challenged by a Bearcats' team blessed with height.
