Elijah Childs’ Double-Double Not Enough in Setback to No. 15 Memphis

Memphis, Tenn. – Junior Elijah Childs posted game highs with 21 points and 14 rebounds only for nationally-ranked Memphis to prevail over the Bradley men's basketball team on Tuesday night, 71-56. The Braves are now 5-3 on the year, while the 15th-ranked Tigers improve to 7-1.

Childs eclipsed 20 points for the second time this season to go along with his third double-double of the campaign. Among his 14 rebounds, which is just one shy of his career-best, were nine offensive boards – the most by a Brave in three seasons and just two shy of the school record.
