Mustangs Gallop Past Tigers at Moody Coliseum in High-Scoring Affair

In a recent face-off at Moody Coliseum, the Memphis Tigers were outpaced by the SMU Mustangs with a final score of 106-79. The Tigers now stand with an unaltered record, while the Mustangs improved theirs. The home team's offense was particularly potent, converting 68 percent of their two-point attempts and achieving a field goal percentage of 57.

The Memphis Tigers displayed resilience throughout the game, managing to put up 79 points against their opponents. Their effort was highlighted by an impressive fast break performance that contributed 20 points to their total score. Despite this, they struggled to contain the Mustangs' offensive onslaught which resulted in a significant point differential.

The Tigers' defense managed to block six shots and steal the ball ten times during play but still faced challenges as they gave up 48 points in paint and allowed 27 points off turnovers. On offense, they shot well from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 45 but fell short inside where it counted most.

Memphis also saw contributions across various aspects of their game; however, these efforts were overshadowed by turnovers which totaled at nineteen for them compared to fifteen for SMU. Additionally, while both teams had similar numbers when it came to personal fouls – fifteen for Memphis and eighteen for SMU – it was ultimately the efficiency on offense that set them apart.

Looking ahead after this tough outing on foreign hardwood, fans can anticipate seeing how the Memphis Tigers will regroup as they prepare to host their next game against Charlotte 49ers at FedExForum in Memphis on February 21st at 8:00 PM local time. This encounter will be available for viewing on ESPN+ over internet broadcast networks.
