Memphis beats Rice 73-51 in game marred by fight
Jan 26th
Will Barton and Tarik Black, two key players for Memphis, weren’t around to see the end of Wednesday night’s game against Rice. Their departure after a second-half skirmish that saw multiple players ejected just meant they didn’t see the ultimate margin of the Tigers victory over the Owls.
Chris Crawford scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Memphis to a 73-51 victory over Rice. Antonio Barton added 11 points and Tarik Black had 10, hitting all five of his shots before he was ejected during a skirmish under the Tigers basket with 7:21 left in the game.
