Memphis Takes Down Jackson State 84-69
Nov 30, 2016 | Men's Basketball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Behind a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double from Dedric Lawson and 18 points from brother K.J. Lawson, the Memphis Tigers ran past the Jackson State Tigers on Wednesday (November 30) evening by an 84-69 final score.
K.J. Lawson led four Memphis players in double-figures with 18 points while Dedric Lawson scored 17, Markel Crawford 15, and Jimario Rivers a career-high 13 points. Chad Rykhoek finished just off of the double-figure pace with eight points. Lawson pulled down a dozen rebounds, as Memphis and Jackson State each ended the game with 41.
Memphis, which came into the game ranked second in the country in assists per game, dished out 21 on 27 made field goals, led by a career-high-tying eight from Jeremiah Martin, as K.J. Lawson gave out five. Dedric Lawson blocked a career-high-tying five shots for Memphis, as the hosts had a 21-to-11 assist-to-turnover ratio in the contest.
Jackson State struck first in the game, winning the opening tip and then scoring 21 seconds into the game to take a 2-0 lead. From there, Memphis answered with 10 straight points, capped by a dunk from Rykhoek to give Memphis a lead it would not relinquish for the remainder of the game.
The visitors cut into the deficit at 10-4; however, Memphis answered with a 12-1 run to jump the margin to 17, just over seven minutes into the half.
