The Tigers looked like a team that welcomed a return to the hardwood Tuesday afternoon, racing out to a 10-0 lead on their way to a 30-point drubbing of Southeast Missouri State (coached by former Arkansas State boss, Dickey Nutt). On a day when former Tiger coach Gene Bartow was honored with a banner denoting his recent election to the Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, Memphis supplemented the ceremony’s cheers with a return to the win column.

Tiger senior Doneal Mack followed up his 23-point outing (last Saturday in the loss to UMass) with 19 points, making 7 of 11 shots, including 4 of 8 from beyond the arc. The Tigers were led in the scoring column by Elliot Williams who, after scoring only four points in the first half, finished the game with 20. Three other Tigers reached double figures (Pierre Henderson-Niles, Willie Kemp, and Wesley Witherspoon), the first game this season Memphis has had five such performances.
