Another dominant performance by the Tigers.

What stood out most to me was the decision-making and execution on offense. The Tigers have really improved a lot in that area since mid-December, and once they got into a good flow, they simply overwhelmed UAB.

Given how well UAB had played some good opponents — they beat DePaul and nearly beat Florida — this should have been a more competitive game. But when Memphis is executing, it’s hard to envision how anybody in this conference will be able to hang with the Tigers.

The Chris Douglas-Roberts injury is a little bit mysterious. He said it’s a high ankle sprain, which is the kind of injury that can linger. On the other hand, he was able to play on it — and play very well — against Houston and Southern Miss.

CDR said he was going to have an MRI today to see exactly what’s going on, with the obvious concern being ligament damage. He was pretty emphatic when I spoke with him after the game that he needed to shut it down for a little while until his pain starts going away.

“I’m not going to keep playing on it and making it worse,” he said. “They didn’t give me a timeframe but I know my body. I felt it every day getting worse…It’s my body. I know when I feel good, and I know when I’m not.”
