A Chae Harris three-pointer from the right corner with 12.4 seconds left in the fourth quarter lifted Memphis to a 64-62 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock in a tightly contested matchup Friday evening at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.
The Tigers trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half before mounting a fourth-quarter comeback that was spearheaded by their defense. Using a full-court press, Memphis forced UALR into seven fourth-quarter turnovers that the Tigers scored 11 points from. The Trojans had 20 turnovers total for the game.
"Their defensive intensity was pretty intense the whole night," said UALR Coach Steve Wiedower.
