Big OOC for C-USA's highest-rated team. It's on ESPN2

Other MBB going on:
Tulane 23, Wofford 15 (6:35/1st half)

Tulane 25, Wofford 24
3:17/1st Half

Tulane-Wofford tied at 27 at the half

42-28 @ the half

Nice win for Pastner if they hold on

Memphis really taking command so far in Knoxville. Good for them.

Tulane trying to build on the momentum from beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa last Sunday night. Struggling so far against the Southern Conference opponent from Spartanburg. Wofford has had some good teams (NCAAs in 2010 and 2011; lost 53-49 to 4-seed Wisconsin) but they are 6-7 so far this year.

Go Defectors! Win tonight for C-USA. After how this week has started, the conference needs a couple of wins tonight.

Memphis still pouring it on as 2nd half starts.

Wofford 34, Tulane 32 with 15:00 left.
:-/

Tulane 44-36
9:11 left

That's more like it.

Go Green Wave

I think Memphis will win (up by 13 with ~9 minutes left) but UT is making it more interesting after being down by 20-21.

Tulane pulling away from the Terriers, 48-36

Tennessee really misses Jeronne Maymon. It's ridiculous these two aren't going to play anymore, almost to the point of being childish.

Memphis only up 7 with 6 mins left

Vols pulled within 5 (69-64), then Memphis drained a 3 to silence the crowd. Under 5 min to go

Tulane 58, Wofford 42
3:03 left in that one

Tulane wins 62-48 and finishes the OOC portion of the schedule at 12-3. One quality win (@Alabama), one ugly loss (@San Diego), two "respectable" losses (@Georgia Tech, @Nebraska).

I'm hoping for 10-6 conference record. We'll see.

Congratulations Green Wave and Tulane fans. It may have been ugly, but they all count in the left hand column.

Give UT some credit: they didn't quit even when it looked like they'd get blown out. They've made it close. But they were in such a deep hole they just can't quite climb out.

It's really, really, really hard to give the vols any credit, but you're right.

Yep.

I think Pastner is a very solid HC and it has been strange to me to observe the Memphis people hyperventilating about him after every L.
But I have to admit, even after all this time he still looks younger than his players.

Tigers were very accurate from the stripe and win by 5.
