KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – A double-digit first-half deficit didn't intimidate the University of Memphis. Neither did the fact Tennessee had won 31 straight at Thompson-Boling Arena.

D.J. Jeffries and Tyler Harris scored 11 points each to lead the Tigers and Damion Baugh added 10 key points to give the Tigers their seventh-straight win.
