No. 21 Texas A&M will face Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Tigers at Reed Arena on Sunday at 3 PM CST.
After a dominating win over DePaul, the Aggies will face a stiffer test against the Tigers. For the first time this season, Texas A&M’s three-point shot started to drop, putting extreme pressure on the Blue Demons last Wednesday. They shot over 60% overall in the first half and hit a season-high 14 three-pointers in the game.
Memphis is coming off an 85-80 overtime win against VCU, where the Tigers’ David Jones and Jahvon Quinerly combined for a total of 43 points. They currently average 79.5 points per game and shoot .351 from beyond the arc.
The teams have met 10 times, with Memphis holding a 4-6 edge and are on a three-game winning streak over the Aggies. the most recent game was an 83-79 loss last year, where Wade Taylor IV led all scorers with 25.
