MEMPHIS, Tenn. — He's as Memphis as Graceland, dry-rub barbecue or the coolest jazz and blues clubs you've ever experienced.
So when USF senior point guard Tyler Harris approaches Thursday night's homecoming game at the FedEx Forum, when the red-hot USF Bulls (7-6) face the powerful Memphis Tigers (10-3) in the American Athletic Conference opener, you can expect a combination of excitement, nerves, adrenaline and urgency.
Harris, one of the top high-school basketball players in Memphis history, was a favored Tiger for three seasons, a local kid who helped the Tigers to an NCAA Tournament bid.
