EL PASO, Texas (AP) - Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 21 points and Jeremy Hunt added 19 to help No. 6 Memphis beat Texas-El Paso 78-67 on Thursday night, securing the Tigers' 18th straight victory.
The Tigers, who already had won the Conference USA regular season title, were lucky to escape the Don Haskins Center with a victory. Memphis (26-3, 15-0 C-USA) shot just 41 percent from the field and couldn't put UTEP away.
The Miners (14-15, 6-9) were within a point several times in the final 10 minutes, but were plagued by too many turnovers.
Stefon Jackson scored 19 to lead UTEP.
