Here is the box score for the Memphis Tigers’ game against the UAB Blazers at FedExForum Sunday, March 3. 

Daryl Braden has been around the block, from Memphis high school basketball to following Larry Finch and Gene Bartow to UAB in the 1970s. After struggles with cocaine and crime, he’s back in Birmingham preaching against the pitfalls that sucked him in.

A 21-point victory over UAB on Saturday was the fifth consecutive win for Memphis. 

Trey Jemison almost gave up basketball for an internship with a construction company. Now one of Penny Hardaway’s former AAU players is with the Memphis Grizzlies. 

In the midst of a season that went from shine to, well, you know what, in the span of a week, it is indeed time to start asking if the inverse is happening as we enter March.

Jourdain, a 6-foot-9 forward who transferred to Memphis from Temple last offseason, has averaged 6.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks through 28 games this season.

Memphis never trails as it blows out East Carolina on its way to its third straight victory.

NCAA men’s basketball box score for Thursday’s game between the Memphis Tigers and East Carolina Pirates.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Tigers went into conference tournament week on a winning streak continuing Thursday at East Carolina? Wouldn’t it feel like all things are possible? This season can be salvaged.

The matchup against the Pirates is another that the Tigers can’t afford to lose if they hope to have a chance of cracking into the top four of the AAC standings to earn a double-bye in next month’s AAC Tournament.
