No. 24 Memphis became bowl-eligible for a fourth straight season in dramatic fashion last week. The Tigers scored 14 unanswered points in the final 5:14 of a thrilling 42-38 win at Houston.
It was the kind of win -- on the road, in conference play -- that can lead to an emotional letdown in the next game. However, Memphis coach Mike Norvell insists that won't happen to his team when the Tigers (6-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) host improved Tulane on Friday night in a league tilt.
"At this point in the year, it's always emotional," Norvell said.
