MEMPHIS, Ten. — Gregg Marshall called out his name.

“Erik” he screamed, the freshman guard running to him on the sideline. He needed to calm down. He had overshot a 3-pointer, turned the ball over and was quickly losing his composure. Quickly, Stevenson relaxed and he pulled the trigger on a three-pointer. He swished the shot.

On the ensuing possession, from the opposite wing, he swished another.
