Memphis (20-6,8-3) continued its winning ways over UAB with a 62 – 58 (18-7,8-4) home win. The victory was Memphis’s 20th of the season and they also moved on top of the C-USA standings.

SMU (16-9, 7-4) defended its home court with a 65 – 51 win over Houston. The ponies will be visiting Marshall next Saturday February 26th.

UCF (16-8,3-8) was down 11 points at home in the second half to lowly Tulane (12-13,2-10) before coming back for a 65 – 62 victory. Marshall travels to take on the Green Wave this Saturday in New Orleans.
