Game Notes

Adonis Thomas has recorded double-figures scoring four games in a row. 
D.J. Stephens (15), Tarik Black (13), Adonis Thomas (12) and Shaq Goodwin (12) all recorded double-figures for Memphis. This was the fourth game in row with at least three Tigers scoring in double-figures, and the first time this season Memphis had four players score in double-digits. 
This was the first time this season that the Tigers did not put an all-Memphis starting five on the floor. 
Andre Hollins' 41-points against Memphis were the most by a player against the Tigers since Allan Daniels for Lamar on November 28, 2005. 
The last time Memphis lost back-to-back games was last season losing to Murray State (12/11/11) followed Louisville (12/17/11).
