NASSAU, Bahamas – The University of Memphis opened play in the Bahamas Basketball Federation Summer of Thunder exhibition series Wednesday with some thunder of its own in a 114-83 victory over the Commonwealth Bank Giants.
There was a game-leading 21 points and eight rebounds from freshman D.J. Jeffries.
There was 19 points and eight rebounds from Lance Thomas, who, like Jeffries, was making his debut in a Tigers' uniform.
Overall, there were 22 assists, 13 3-pointers, 50 percent shooting and a monstrous, one-handed driving dunk by freshman guard Damion Baugh – with 7:32 to go in the game – worthy of an ESPN Top 10 highlight.
