Here is box score for Sunday’s game between the Memphis Tigers and the Charlotte 49ers at Dale F. Halton Arena.

The Tigers’ victory snaps an eight-game road losing streak, the team’s first victory away from Elma Roane Fieldhouse since beating Tulane last season.

The No. 18 Memphis Tigers will have an opportunity to quickly bounce back from their recent loss to Temple when they visit the Charlotte 49ers.

Memphis coach Penny Hardaway called the loss disheartening and discouraging. In the abstract, it’s hard to argue with him. It was a poor effort from the start. 

Memphis has been outrebounded in each of its past three games, by a total margin of 119-82. The Tigers must fix that problem in order to rebound from Thursday’s defeat at Temple.

A victory in which Memphis simply scraped by versus an ECU squad ranked No. 203 in the NCAA’s NET rankings and No. 165 in KenPom won’t move the needle when it comes to advanced analytics or human polls.
