MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Kyvon Davenport scored a game-high 26 points and the University of Memphis survived a strong second-half comeback try by UConn in a 78-71 American Athletic Conference victory Sunday at FedExForum.
Davenport had his first 20-point game for the Tigers since Jan. 3 when the UofM opened conference play with a victory at home over Wichita State. The victory allowed the Tigers to snap a three-game losing streak.
"It's just good to get a win," Tigers coach Penny Hardaway said. "We'll take it however we can get it. We've just got to pile up wins from this point forward.
