The Grizzlies are getting back to their winning ways. Their 111-99 victory over Houston last night is Memphis’ third win in a row and takes them to 38-23. Memphis remains second in the West, 5 games behind Denver and 2 games ahead of Sacramento. Next up: at conference leader Denver, 9 PM Friday, nationally televised on ESPN.
Tonight, however, it’s Tiger time. Penny’s Memphis Tigers travel to SMU tonight for an 8 PM game on ESPN2. The Tigers are most likely in The Big Dance regardless of the outcome, but a win would likely guarantee Memphis a bye past NCAA tournament play-in games.
Joe Lunardi’s ESPN Bracketology currently has Memphis as the first team in Last Four Byes. So the Tigers’ win Sunday fell just short of getting them off the bubble completely.
