Memphis fought back from as many as 18-points down but fell just short and lost 85-79 to Ole Miss Friday night at FedExForum in the first meeting between the teams since 2010.
Ricky Tarrant, Jr. had a heroic performance, scoring 29 points in the game. Dedric Lawson rebounded from a slow star to finish the game with 21 points and 14 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season.
Not much went right for the Tigers in the first half as Ole Miss shot 45% from the field while the Tigers managed to hit just 25% of their shots.
