After appearing to have their swagger back in a blowout home victory over Florida Atlantic three days prior, the Memphis Tigers fell short against Tulane on Sunday at FedExForum.
Effort has been a concern for Memphis (10-11, 5-4 American Conference) at times this season, but the fight was there for much of Sunday’s 78-76 defeat.
Much of the stat sheet suggests a Memphis victory.
