MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Ricky Tarrant Jr. went to the free throw line after a violent collision with 1.5 seconds left in the game that nearly saw him loose a tooth, and the fifth-year senior calmly drained both attempts, giving the Memphis Tigers a 67-65 American Athletic Conference win over the Temple Owls at FedExForum on Wednesday evening.
Shaq Goodwin recorded his second double-double of the season with 22 points and 10 rebounds, as the senior climbed from 36th to 31th in the school's career scoring record book with the effort. Dedric Lawson also had a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Tarrant scored 13 points to go with a season-high-tying six rebounds.
