‘We’re hungry': Memphis primed for massive Houston game
“We’re hungry,” said guard Boogie Ellis, who led the Tigers Tuesday night against USF with 18 points. “We get to play against the top team in the country and get on national television and we get a chance to prove to everybody that we’re an NCAA (tournament) team.” (Courtesy University of Memphis)
With USF taken care of, all eyes and efforts now turn to the season’s toughest task.
