February 2, 1957: Memphis beat No. 3 Louisville 81-78 at Ellis Auditorium in downtown Memphis. It was the Tigers’ fi rst win over the Cardinals after six-straight losses. The game was the catalyst to the 1957 Memphis team fi nishing second in the NIT and fi nishing the sea-son ranked in the top-20 of the polls for the fi rst time. The win put the Tigers program on the map nationally. All-American Win Wilfong scored 20 points for the Ti-gers. U of L All-American Charlie Tyra had 21 points and 12 rebounds.

March 6, 1971: Louisville defeated Memphis 102-73 at Freedom Hall in the regular-season fi nale for both teams. Al Vilcheck and Mike Lawhon scored 19 points apiece for U of L, but the Tigers’ James Douglas led all scorers with a game high 22. A sidebar to the game was an ugly fi rst-half altercation between Louisville’s Mike Lawhon and the Tigers’ Fred Horton. After words between the two players, Lawhon struck Horton in the back of the head going up court and a fi ght involving several players ensued. An incensed Horton picked up a metal folding chair and ran toward Lawhon swing-ing it over his head. Memphis assistant coach Wayne Yates raced to grab Horton near mid-court before se-curity guards and police helped shove Horton to the Memphis bench. Horton was handcuffed by a security guard, but went back onto the court before being eject-ed and removed from the bench area. The incident was the second in two seasons between the rivals and was a continuation of a feud that began in the season fi nale the year before (1969-70) in Memphis. In that 1969-70 season fi nale, Louisville’s Al Vilcheck punched Horton while leaving the court following U of L’s 83-82 win at the Mid-South Coliseum and then ran into the dress-ing room. The sucker punch opened a cut on Horton’s right eyebrow and set the stage for Horton’s retaliation a year later.

March 11, 1972: Fourth-ranked Louisville beat the 11th-ranked Tigers 83-72 in a Missouri Valley Confer-ence (MVC) Playoff game – a game that made the ri-valry even more intense. Despite defeating U of L twice in the regular season and sharing the Missouri Valley Conference regular season title, the MVC offi ce called for a playoff game between the Tigers and Cardinals to be held at Memorial Gym on the Vanderbilt campus. Louisville took a 37-35 lead at the intermission on a half court shot by Jim Price. Six U of L players were led into double fi gures by Henry Bacon’s 16 points. Don Holcombe had a double-double for the Tigers (game-high 21 points and 15 rebounds), while Larry Finch tossed in 18. The Tigers’ loss put them into the NIT, and Louisville got the Missouri Valley’s automatic bid into the NCAA.

March 7, 1982: The thirteenth-ranked Tigers beat Lou-isville 73-62 at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis in the Metro Conference Tournament championship game. All-American Keith Lee posted a double-double of 27 points-15 rebounds and was named Tournament MVP. Wiley Smith’s 17 points led the U of L. It was Memphis’ fi rst conference tournament title since win-ning Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament in 1929.

March 8, 1987: The Tigers, under fi rst-year head coach Larry Finch, beat Louisville for third time in the 1986-87 season in the Metro Conference Tournament cham-pionship game at Freedom Hall 75-52. It was also the second time for Memphis to beat Louisville at Freedom Hall during the 1986-87 season. The loss was U of L’s only Metro Conference Tournament championship game defeat on its home court in Metro Conference his-tory. U of L, the defending national champion, ended the season with an 18-14 record and did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Despite winning the Metro title, Memphis was on probation and ineli-gible for postseason play. As a result, for the only time in its history, the Metro Conference had no teams in the NCAA Tournament fi eld. The 23-point win was the Ti-gers’ largest versus Louisville in the series. The Tigers Marvin Alexander, the Metro Conference Tournament MVP, scored 18 points. Herbert Crook scored 14 for U of L. Sophomore Pervis Ellison, the 1986 Final Four MVP, was held to only 3 points.

February 20, 1989: The Tigers defeated 10th-ranked Louisville in Freedom Hall. Memphis jumped out to a 24-0 lead with 13:11 in the fi rst half. Louisville made a run and pulled to within two points at 66-64 at the 2:17 mark of the second half, but Memphis held on for a 72-67 upset. Elliot Perry scored 25 points to lead the Tigers, and Pervis Ellison had a double-double of 23 points and 19 rebounds for Louisville.

February 19, 2003: The Tigers beat 4th-ranked Lou-isville in Freedom Hall in John Calipari’s fi rst U of M coaching appearance on the Cardinals’ homecourt. An-tonio Burks led fi ve Tigers in double fi gures with 16, and Chris Massie added a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds. Reece Gaines led Louisville with 19 points. It was Memphis’ fi rst win over a top-fi ve ranked team since beating 3rd-ranked Michigan in 73-72 in the 1996 Rainbow Classic.

March 12, 2005: No. 6 Louisville edged the Tigers 75-74 in the championship game of the Conference USA Tournament. It was the second time the Cardinals defeated the Tigers at the new FedExForum during the 2004-05 season. With Louisville leading 75-73 in the fi nal seconds, Tigers guard Darius Washington Jr. was fouled by the Cardinals on a three-point attempt at the buzzer. Washington hit the fi rst free throw, but missed the next two and crumbled to the fl oor at the free throw line as Louisville claimed the Conference USA Tourna-ment title. Francisco Garcia paced the winning Cardi-nals with 19 points, and Darius Washington Jr. had 20 for the Tigers. The loss left the U of M with a 19-15 regular season record and denied the Tigers an NCAA Tournament berth. Memphis went on to appear in the NIT Final Four in New York, while Louisville reached the NCAA Final Four in St. Louis.

HEY, I KNOW THEM! • One Tiger enters Saturday’s game a little more

familiar with Louisville than the rest of his teammates and coaches.

• Junior Ferrakohn Hall, who is making his de-but for Memphis Saturday, was on the 2009-10 Seton Hall squad that defeated Louisville 80-77 on Jan. 21, 2010.

• Hall played limited minutes in that game and grabbed one rebound.

CARMOUCHE TO RETURN SATURDAY • Senior Charles Carmouche returns to the court

Saturday versus Louisville. • The 6-foot-3 guard has missed the last four

games due to what head coach Josh Pastner called an “internal matter.”

• After returning from Maui Nov. 24, Carmouche was suspended from practice and games.

games and averaged 8.3 points and 3.0 re-bounds.

STEPHENS POSSIBLY OUT FOR SEASON • Head coach Josh Pastner announced Dec. 14

that junior D.J. Stephens is suffering from knee pain and may miss the remainder of the season.

ARE TIGERS BACK IN BLACK? • Tiger Nation sure hopes so in terms of Tarik

Black returning to the kind of play he gave the team a year ago.

• The 6-foot-8 forward missed the latter part of preseason drills with a minor leg injury, and in turn, was part of the reason why the All-Confer-ence USA preseason selection got off to a slow start in 2011-12.

• In the fi rst three games, Black played only 15.3 minutes per contest due to foul trouble and aver-aged 6.3 points and 2.7 rebounds. He had two blocks and shot 42.9 percent from the fl oor.

• In the last fi ve games, he averaged 9.6 points and 4.8 rebounds, while shooting 72 percent from the fi eld and blocking six shots.

SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE • Saturday’s game is going to be a battle of wills

with the Tigers’ offense against the Cardinals’ defense, and the following shows that (confer-ence rank is next to stat):

THE VALUE OF THE ASSIST • Early this season, the Tigers stat line has shown

that, when they share the ball, it results in wins. • In four games this year (three wins), Memphis

assisted on 50 percent or higher of its made bas-kets.

• Memphis had 20 assists/34 made baskets (58.8 percent) versus Belmont, 13 assists/26 baskets

(50 pct.) versus Jackson State, 23 assists/32 baskets (71.9 pct.) versus Austin Peay and 15 assists/25 baskets (60 pct.) versus Murray State.

• Last year, the Tigers had 16 games in which they earned assists on over half of their fi eld goals made (min. 25 made FG in the game). Memphis had a 13-3 record in those games.

IT’S RAINING THREES • The Tigers hit 15 three-pointers in their win

over Austin Peay Dec. 3. • The 15 treys made are tied for the second-most

in a single game in school history. • The 15 three-pointers were one shy of tying the

school record, which was 16 versus Marquette on Feb. 14, 2004.

• The Tigers is second Conference USA in three-point fi eld goal percentage at 38.9 percent.

• In his most recent position, Williams has been training players by himself and also has worked with players at the prestigious John Lucas Camp in Houston.

• A well-respected coach with expertise in big man development, Williams has coached 36 players that went on to the National Basketball Association (NBA), including 15 fi rst-round draft picks. Notables that Williams coached dur-ing his career include Dave Winfi eld, Mychal Thompson, Kevin McHale and Kevin Garnett.

• In his most recent collegiate coaching stint, Williams helped direct the Cowboys to a 65-36 record and three-straight postseasons (2005 NCAA, 2006 and 2007 NIT) from 2004-07.

• The 2004-05 Oklahoma State squad went 26-7, won the Big 12 Conference Tournament and earned the league’s NCAA Tournament auto-matic bid.

• The Cowboys, coming off a 2004 NCAA Final Four appearance, advanced to the 2005 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen in Chicago, where they dropped a heart-breaking 79-78 loss to Lute Olson’s Arizona team. Josh Pastner (as-sistant coach) and Jack Murphy (video/recruit-ing coordinator) served on Olson’s staff that season.

GOOD “FROSH” START FOR THOMAS • After a slow start, freshman Adonis Thomas

settled in and had a solid performance in the Ti-gers’ season-opener versus Belmont Nov. 15.

Tigers Going “Retro”

• As a part of the University of Memphis’ Cen-tennial celebration (1912-2012), the Tigers unveiled their “retro” uniforms in the Nov. 15 season-opening win over Belmont.

• The “retro” uniforms are replicas of the ones worn by the 1972-73 Tigers squad that ad-vanced to the NCAA Tournament champion-ship game. Memphis fell to the Bill Walton-led UCLA Bruins 87-66 in the title game.

• The trio of Larry Finch, Larry Kenon and Ronnie Robinson led that 1972-73 Memphis team.

• Gene Bartow coached the 1972-73 squad and was named NABC National Coach of the Year.

Memphis kicked off the season in impressive fashion with a 97-81 win over Bel-mont in the opening game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational. Three players scored at least 20 points, including 22 from Wesley Witherspoon, who was a perfect 8-of-8

from the fi eld. Will Barton was the Tigers’ leading scorer with a career-high 23 points, while Joe Jackson added 20 points on 6-of-7 shooting. Freshman Adonis Thomas shined in his Tigers debut with 12 points. The Tigers shot nearly 59 percent from the fi eld. A Belmont team that lost to No. 6 Duke by one point in its opener Nov. 11 managed just 39 percent shooting and had 18 turnovers. Despite an 11 a.m. tip, the Tigers showed no signs of sluggishness, as Memphis jumped out to a 16-4 lead. J.J. Mann ended the Bruins drought with a 7-0 scoring spurt of his own just before the 12-minute mark, and an-other Belmont free throw at 11:36 cut the lead to 16-12. From there, the Bruins matched Memphis bucket-for-bucket to stay within three at 39-36 with three min-utes remaining. However, it was defensive pressure that allowed the Tigers to score seven of the last 10 points in the half and take a 46-39 lead into the locker room. The Tigers began the second half much as they did the fi rst, with a 5-of-5 shooting start and a 13-2 run to take a 59-44 lead with 17 minutes left to play. A jumper from Thomas at the 11:39 mark gave Memphis a com-manding 72-54 lead. That would be the last Memphis fi eld goal for al-most four minutes as Belmont went on a 12-1 run once again assisted by the free throw line to cut the defi cit to just seven points at 73-66. The Bruins refused to go away, however, as they used three-straight treys to keep it close and still trail by just seven points at 84-77 with less than four minutes left in the game. But, the Tigers kept their composure and came alive down the stretch with a 12-2 run to push the lead back to double digits at 96-79 with one minute left.

Tigers Tails• Josh Pastner won his 50th career

game with the win and is fastest coach in Memphis history to get to the 50-win milestone.

• Memphis scored 97 points, the most in a game since putting up 102 points against Tennes-see Martin in a 22-point win last season (11-23-10)

• For the game, Memphis shot 58.6 percent (34-of-58). The Tigers last shot over 50 percent in last season’s Conference USA Tournament-semifi nal win, 76-56, over East Carolina, when they went 27-of-53 (50.9 per-cent) from the fl oor.

Charles Carmouche’s team-high 14 points weren’t enough for No. 8/8 Memphis to overcome a strong shooting effort from the No. 15/15 Michigan Wolverines, as the Tigers fell 73-61 in their fi rst round game of the 2011 Maui Invitational.

Michigan shot 54 percent (27-of-50) from the fl oor while Memphis only connected on 33.3 percent (19-of-57) of its fi eld goal attempts. The Tigers were 4-of-21 (19.0 percent) from three, compared to 6-of-20 (30.0 percent) for the Wolverines. The Wolverines started the game on fi re, connecting on 7 of their fi rst 8 shots. Mean-while, the Tigers started a meager 3-of-10 to begin the game. Trailing 18-9 at the time, Memphis responded with a 10-2 run, on 4-of-5 shooting, to cut the Michigan lead down to a point. Memphis eventually tied the game and took the lead, 27-25, on three-straight layups by Carmouche. However, Michigan did not get rattled and scored ten unanswered points over the fi nal 3:02 to enter halftime with a 37-31 lead. After a sensational shooting performance against Belmont, Memphis shot only 35.5 percent (11-of-31), including a paltry 15.4 percent (2-of-13) from three-point range in the fi rst half. In contrast, Michigan shot 60 per-cent (15-of-25) from the fi eld and 30 percent (3-of-10) from three. A Will Barton three-point shot at the 15:32 mark of the second half pulled the Tigers within fi ve, 46-41, but the Wolverines responded with a 9-1 run over a span of 3:52 to regain control of the game. Michigan steadily increased its lead to as many as 14 points with 5:32 remaining. The Tigers used a 7-2 run to cut the lead to single digits, only to have the Wolverines again push the lead out to as many as 15 points. Memphis protected the ball, only committing eight turnovers, while forcing Michigan into 13 miscues, but Michigan fi nished with a decided advantage, 38-29, on the boards.

Tigers Tails

• Memphis and Michigan are now tied in the all-time series 2-2. The Wolverine victory snapped a two-game winning streak by the Tigers.

• This is the fi rst meeting between the two schools since 1996 when Memphis beat Michigan 73-72 in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.

• The Tigers now have an all-time record of 16-17 versus Big Ten Conference foes.

• The 29 rebounds are the lowest total by the Tigers since Mem-phis had 29 boards against UAB on February 16, 2011 in a 62-58 victory.

Jason Clark hit a big 3-pointer in overtime and scored 26 points, helping George-town hold off No. 8 Memphis 91-88 in the fi fth-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday.

Memphis and Georgetown didn’t look like two teams playing for fi fth place, trading monster dunks, 3-pointers and leads throughout regulation. The Hoyas (4-1) went up 90-86 in overtime after Clark hit a 3 with 51 seconds left and Markel Starks followed with two free throws. The Tigers (2-2) cut the lead to two on Stan Simpson’s two free throws and had a shot to tie after Georgetown’s Hollis Thompson made just 1 of 2 at the other end. But Memphis didn’t get a good look at the end of regulation and did it again in overtime, with Antonio Barton’s 3-pointer com-ing up well short at the buzzer. Henry Sims had 24 points and eight rebounds for Georgetown, while Thompson and Starks scored 12 each. Will Barton led Memphis with 22 points and Joe Jackson added 20. Memphis had trouble with patient and talented No. 15 Michigan in its tournament opener, un-able to get the 15th-ranked Wolverines to speed up in a 73-61 loss. Swapping acrobatic shots and deep 3-pointers, the Tigers and Hoyas had the crowd inside Lahaina Civic Center on its feet seemingly every other trip down the fl oor. Clark, who hit six 3-pointers and scored 28 points against Chaminade, had 17 by halftime, shooting 7 of 12. Starks chipped in 10 points and the Hoyas made 19 of 36 shots. The Tigers led by seven early, Georgetown an-swered with a 19-2 run to go up 10 and Memphis chipped away to get within 47-42 by halftime. Memphis had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but had trouble setting up a shot and Adonis Thomas’ 3-pointer was well off the mark.

In a double-overtime classic in the Maui Invitational, No. 8/8 Memphis used an Antonio Barton jumper to defeat Tennessee, 99-97. Will Barton led all-Tiger scorers with a career-high 25 points and a career-

high 11 rebounds en route to posting his fi rst double-double. Antonio Barton chipped in 21 points for the Tigers. Freshman Adonis Thomas had the best performance of his young career, with 19 points. With the game knotted up at 97, Antonio Barton knocked down a 15-foot jumper from the right wing to put Memphis up by two points with 1:14 left in the second overtime. Wesley Witherspoon picked up a loose ball along the baseline, but was called for traveling with a mere .8 seconds on the clock. Jeronne Maymon’s attempt fell short, preserving the double-overtime win for Memphis. Memphis found itself trailing in the fi rst overtime, 91-89, following a Josh Richardson contested three-point shot from the right wing. Chris Crawford took an outlet pass from Will Barton and attacked the rim for a game-tying layup. Maymon’s shot at the buzzer was well off the mark and the teams headed into double-overtime. Tennessee opened the second half on a 9-4 spurt to pull within fi ve points, but Memphis responded with fi ve in a row to regain a double-digit lead with 15:10 left. The Tigers maintained a relatively comfortable margin until the Vols went on a nine-point run to pull within a point, 77-76, with 3:38 remaining. With the Tigers leading by two points in the waning seconds, Tennessee’s Maymon fi nished a driving layup to tie the game. Will Barton raced down the court and put up a jumper from 12-feet out. His shot rimmed out, sending the game into overtime. Memphis (2-1) knocked down 36-of-70 (51.4 percent) shot attempts and limited Ten-nessee (2-2) to 30-of-74 (40.5 percent) shooting. The Tigers bench outscored the Vols, 52-25, but Memphis was outrebounded, 49-34, and gave up 29 second chance points.

No. 21/22 Memphis scored 15 unanswered points to open the second half and never looked back on its way to a 70-45 win over visiting Jackson State on Monday night. Joe Jackson led all scorers with 15 points, and Chris Crawford added 14 points for the Tigers. Memphis improved to 3-2 on the season while Jackson State fell to

1-7. Crawford scored eight points during the 15-point run to begin the second half of play, helping Memphis jump out to a 40-19 lead. After using four of its timeouts in the fi rst half, Jackson State only had one left to use in the second half and was forced to use it during the opening spurt by Memphis. A tightfi sted Tiger defense forced 23 turnovers by JSU, tallying 36 points off of the miscues. Jackson State was held to 16-of-52 shooting (30.8 percent), while Memphis con-nected on 26-of-49 (53.1 percent) from the fi eld. Despite a season-high 10 rebounds from Stan Simp-son, Memphis was outrebounded 36-29, continuing its struggles on the glass. The U of M outscored JSU in points in the paint, 38-16, and fast break points, 24-2. At the intermission, Memphis led 25-19 behind six points from Crawford and seven rebounds from Stan Simpson, who earned his fi rst start of the season for the Tigers. Memphis shot the ball well in the half, going 11-for-24 (45.8 percent), but the rebounding woes contin-ued. Jackson State outrebounded Memphis, 22-14, while only connecting on 7-of-27 (25.9 percent) shot attempts. Leading 11-6 coming out of the under-12 media timeout, Memphis surrendered a pair of baskets to Jack-son State’s Jenirro Bush and a free throw to Raymond Gregory, tying the game. Antonio Barton responded with a fl oater from the right side of the lane to stop the run. Adonis Thomas’ layup with 7:38 left in the half ig-nited a 10-0 Memphis run over the next 5:35. Jackson State was forced to call four timeouts during the stretch that was ended by a pair of free throws by Kelsey Howard. Bush led JSU in scoring with 11 points on 5-of-16 (31.3 percent) shooting. Kelsey Howard and Willie Readus each hauled in six boards.

Tigers Tails• With a 36-29 disadvantage on the

boards, Memphis has now been outrebounded in four of its fi ve games this season. However, the Tigers are 3-1 in those contests.

• After a 1-for-6 start from the free throw line, Memphis made 14 of its next 19 shots from the char-ity stripe to go 15-for-25 (.600) overall.

• Memphis’ 25 fi rst-half points are the fewest points scored by the Tigers in any half this season.

• Memphis began the second half with a 15-0 run over the fi rst four minutes.

Will Barton scored 22 points, grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds and dished out a career-high-tying six assists and Memphis connected on 15 three-point shots en route a 91-60 win over visiting Austin Peay. Adonis Thomas recorded 17 points on 6-of-9 (66.7 percent) shooting, including 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) from three-point range.

Joe Jackson added 11 points and Tarik Black chipped in 10. Chris Crawford notched nine points and a game-high seven assists, which also ties his season-high. The 31-point victory is the largest of the season for the Tigers, who improve to 4-2. Austin Peay falls to 0-9 with the loss. Memphis’ 15 made three-point shots came on 25 attempts (60.0 percent), en route 32-of-56 (57.1 percent) shooting. The Tigers fi nished one three-pointer away from tying the school-record, 16, set against Marquette on February 14, 2004. Austin Peay struggled from the fl oor, fi nishing the game 24-of-72 (33.3 percent) and 2-of-10 from long-range. Just as they did in the fi rst 20 minutes, the Tigers dominated the second half. Jackson, Crawford, Thomas and Will Barton each scored during a 10-6 run to open the frame and Memphis never looked back. Antonio Barton took a scary tumble when he was fouled by the Governors’ Herdie Lawrence on a fast-break. Barton connected on one of the two free throws, putting the Tigers ahead, 73-42. Then came the high-fl ying acrobatics from the Ti-gers. With 8:48 remaining, Jackson stole the ball from Austin Peay and fed Black for a highlight-reel dunk in transition. The monstrous slam brought the crowd of 16,989 to its feet. Crawford ripped off a pass from the Governors, starting a Tiger-fast break, and laid the ball off of the backboard. D.J. Stephens came soaring through the air for another crowd-pleasing dunk, increasing Memphis’ lead to 86-54 with 2:48 left. Melvin Baker paced the Governors with 15 points, on 7-of-14 shooting, and seven rebounds. Will Triggs added fi ve points and collected a team-high eight boards.

Tigers Tails• Memphis’ win at Miami was its fi rst

victory in a true road opener since the 2007-08 season, a 65-41 win over Middle Tennessee.

• Despite entering the game be-ing outscored in second chance points by an average of 5.2 points per game, the Tigers posted their biggest margin of the year in that category with a 17-9 advantage. Memphis’ 13 offensive rebounds were a season high.

• With Will Barton’s 14 rebounds and Adonis Thomas’ 10 boards, Memphis had two double-digit rebounders in a game for the fi rst time since Dec. 5, 2009 (Niles – 11, Coleman – 10 vs. Arkansas St.)

Despite a furious comeback attempt in the fi nal two minutes, No. 21/20 Mem-phis dropped a non-conference tilt against Murray State, 76-72. Will Barton scored a career-high-tying 27 points, on 10-of-13 (76.9 percent) shooting, in the loss. Memphis (5-3) trailed, 71-60, with a just under two-minutes left in the game

when a Will Barton layup sparked Memphis’ run, igniting the crowd and putting Murray State (10-0) on its heels. The Racers’ Isaiah Canaan stepped to the line and missed the front-end of the one-and-one. On the ensuing Tiger possession, Wesley Witherspoon connected on a three-point basket from the right corner. Memphis stiffened its defense and capitalized on three-consecutive Murray State turnovers to pull within three, 71-68, with 47 seconds remaining. A pair of free throws by Ivan Aska put the Racers back up by fi ve. Joe Jackson scored four-straight points on two free throws and a layup to bring Memphis within a point, 73-72, and only 14 ticks left on the clock. After Canaan increased the lead to three on two shots from the charity stripe, Chris Crawford’s game-tying three-point attempt rimmed out. Zay Jackson iced the game with a free throw for Murray State. Jackson fi nished with 20 points and four assists for Memphis. Crawford handed out a season-high-tying sev-en assists, hauled in fi ve boards and collected three steals. Tarik Black came up just short of a double-double with 11 points and a season-high nine rebounds. Witherspoon added seven points and pulled down a season-high eight boards.
