Remember When No One Could Beat Memphis In Conference USA?

The days of 64-game conference win streaks are now in the past for the Tigers. They’re even having trouble putting together a three-game string at this point.

↵Today, Memphis dropped to 5-2 in Conference USA thanks to a 70-60 defeat at (get ready for it) SMU.

↵The win moves the Mustangs to 10-10 overall -- with two of those wins coming against lower division opponents -- and 3-3 in the league, their best campaign in many years. But the victory over the former conference bullies is by far the biggest of Matt Doherty’s (remember him?) tenure in Dallas.

↵The Tigers had better be happy Josh Paster is now their coach. John Calipari would have probably made his players crawl back to West Tennessee if such a setback happened on his watch.
