GAME NOTES

Memphis has won 20 games in each of the last six seasons, including all five under head coach Penny Hardaway. Only three Tiger head coaches, now including Hardaway, have won at least 20 games in each of their first five seasons at the helm (Pastner, Calipari).
Memphis is one of just three programs to win at least 18 games in each of the last 22 seasons starting in 2000-01 (Kansas, Gonzaga).
Six of the team's nine losses in 2022-23 were by three points or less. All nine were by single digits.
Memphis returns just 9.7 percent of its total points (271) and 8.0 percent of its total rebounds (101) from last season.
Jahvon Quinerly was named to the Bob Cousy Watch List last week as one of the top 20 point guards in the nation. He started 40 games over the past three seasons at Alabama where he averaged 11.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists for the Crimson Tide.
Brown was tabbed Friday to the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar watch list as one of the top 20 centers in the country. He won the Lou Henson Award last season for the top mid-major player in Division I, averaging 19.3 points and 8.6 rebounds while grabbing a team-high 10 double-doubles.
Memphis is one of just two teams in Division I this season to have a head coach with two sons on the roster as Ashton Hardaway joins the team as a true freshman alongside Jayden Hardaway.
Boise State is the only other team with head coach Leon Rice and his two sons Kade and Max.
