The 24th-ranked Memphis Tigers, coached by NBA legend Penny Hardaway, blew out American Athletic Conference foe UAB 100-77 on Sunday.

Penny Hardaway knows he sounds like a broken record, repeatedly vowing that his Memphis basketball team will soon stop committing so many turnovers.

The four-time NBA All-Star is complimentary of Aaron Fearne’s program after it prevented the nationally ranked Tigers from pulling away late.

Penny Hardaway has made a change to the Memphis basketball starting lineup for the UAB game. For the first time in 16 games, Dain Dainja will get the starting nod of Moussa Cisse at center Sunday (noon, ESPN2), Hardaway said during a pregame radio interview with play-by-play man Dave Woloshin.

For Memphis coach Penny Hardaway, Sunday's 77-68 win at Charlotte was more like it. Chagrined that his team was clobbered 49-25 on the boards on Jan. 16 in an 88-81

Hardaway has a long-held, deep-seated belief that Memphis does not get the same benefit of the doubt that many other programs around the country do. The Tigers still have one of the more decorated March Madness resumès in the nation, with five Quad 1 wins, a 9-3 record in Quads 1 and 2, and just one loss outside the first two quadrants.

The Tulane men's basketball team hung right with 19th-ranked Memphis for 35 minutes but wilted down the stretch in a hard-fought 68-56 loss on Thursday night at Devlin Fieldhouse.

Rogers closing strong helped Memphis secure its fourth win in a row and remain in a tie for first place in the AAC standings with North Texas. It also serves as a reminder of how pivotal his role on Penny Hardaway’s team can be.

Dain Dainja scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds, Colby Rogers scored all his 14 points in the second half and No. 19 Memphis beat Tulane 68-56.

Memphis is ‘a totally different team’ when Colby Rogers is hitting shots. That much proved to be true again in the No. 19 Tigers’ 68-56 win over Tulane on Thursday.

Alijah Arenas announced his commitment to USC on Thursday, following in the footsteps of his father, Gilbert Arenas, in playing college basketball.
