DALLAS – The Memphis Tigers wiped out a 16-point second-half deficit in just eight minutes of game action, but the SMU Mustangs escaped with a 67-65 win over the Tigers Thursday night in Dallas.
The Tigers (9-6, 5-3 AAC) were down 54-38 with 11:56 left in the game, but Memphis clawed back to take a 59-58 lead just eight minutes later. That go-ahead basket was a DeAndre Williams dunk, and the Tigers had a 64-63 lead a couple of minutes later after a Landers Nolley II 3-pointer.
