Tigers Unable to Comeback from Early SMU Lead
MEMPHIS, Tenn.– The Memphis offense struggled to find their groove today as the Mustangs of SMU held the Tigers to just 18 first half points and ended up handing Memphis the 63-44 loss.
Following today's game, Memphis moves to 9-4 overall and 0-2 in AAC play.
It was a rough start to the Tigers, finding themselves down 11-1 after the first media timeout.
Memphis would get back-to-back three-pointers from Maya Stovall and Alana Davis to cut their deficit to 15-9, but SMU would add in another bucket with 31 seconds left in the quarter and take the 17-9 game into the second quarter.
