MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Maybe it was the throwback Memphis State uniforms, the ones worn by Tigers' coach Penny Hardaway when he played in the early 1990s.
Or it could have been the play of senior guard Kareem Brewton, who made a career-high six 3-poiinters.
Perhaps it was the second double-double of Raynere Thornton's career, which included a career-best 14 rebounds or Jeremiah Martin's career-high tying 11 assists.
Whatever the reason, the Tigers played their most complete game of the season Saturday at FedExForum. The UofM defeated SMU, 83-61, in an American Athletic Conference game before 16,673.
