USF shocks Tigers, 75-73

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis shot 58 percent in the second half, committed only 11 turnovers and got 39 points from its reserves, but couldn't overcome multiple obstacles in Saturday's 75-73 American Athletic Conference loss to USF.

The Tigers (17-6, 6-4 American) played without key reserve center Malcolm Dandridge – out with a slight knee injury – and played the final minutes without starters Precious Achiuwa and Lance Thomas, who both left the game after being injured. Achiuwa, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, walked off with 4:41 left and Thomas left the floor two minutes later.
