Here is the box score for the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center Sunday, Nov. 5. 

The Mustangs outshot the Tigers and had more shots on goal, but just as they did during the regular season, the Tigers prevailed on the scoreboard.

The Tigers have aspirations of being an AP Top 25 team for much of the regular season and making a deep NCAA Tournament run. They’ve got plenty of talent, but can they do it?

Even as they start over with their third coach in four years, the Tigers are excited for what the 2023-24 season holds with first-year coach Alex Simmons on the sideline.

When Jason Smith moved to sports-talk radio 92.9 ESPN, he learned fast that making it work would be about his personality and the on-air chemistry with co-host John Martin.

After quarterback Seth Henigan left the field with an injury, Tevin Carter stepped in and executed the longest play of the season. “... When his number was called, he went out there and performed,” Coach Ryan Silverfield said.

Numbers can be deceiving. South Florida racked up the yards and the points, but Memphis came through late to secure the victory.

Football box score for Saturday’s game between the Memphis Tigers and South Florida Bulls played at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis.

Quarterback Seth Henigan did pretty much whatever needed to be done as Memphis defeated South Florida.

The Memphis coach says the Tigers would need time to build chemistry with Williams if he returned. But the forward would increase the team’s chances for a national championship.

 To Memphis basketball head coach Penny Hardaway, the Tigers' sloppy performance is an example of what not to do during his three-game suspension.

The Tigers picked up a 41-point victory over the LeMoyne-Owen Magicians, but it wasn’t very pretty.
