Booker checking back in with 2:57 left in 1st.

Early takeaway:
Without KD in the lineup, Memphis matches up well enough against the Suns for this to not be a mismatch in my opinion. Suns have a bunch of role players who aren’t necessarily great individual scorers. This game could turn into a battle of defenses – 5:25 PM

Booker still on the same sub pattern so these non-Big 3 minutes in the middle of the 1st and 3rd quarters will be a challenge. Most of Memphis’ starters will still be in. – 5:22 PM

Point Book stat: Booker has 197 points and 65 assists through 7 games.
He is the first Suns player to reach those two totals across a seven-game stretch since…. Stephon Marbury in 2003.

Breaking from my Thanksgiving coma just in time for this late-matinee Grizz-Suns, with Desmond Bane and without Kevin Durant. Doubt the New Grizzlies play, but Jaylen Nowell has a little scoring pop this team could use right now. – 4:51 PM

Halftime: Villanova 44, Memphis 16
Villanova was 8-19 from 3 and only turned it over twice.
Memphis shot 4-27 from the field, 1-12 from 3 and had 8 turnovers.
Tigers haven’t defended the perimeter at all. – 4:50 PM

This is going to be a memorable experience in the Bahamas, just for slightly different reasons than expected when this day began. Memphis saw what’s possible against Michigan and Arkansas. It saw what could wrong in that first half against Villanova. – 4:49 PM

Welcome to your post-Thanksgiving Friday NBA in-season tourney game. I am sure that @badunclep is thankful for these 3 officials calling the Suns-Grizzlies game:

Suns are in an odd spot today because they will be the first potential 3-1 team competing for the wild card spot to finish group play. They don’t know what point differential could be good enough but a team like Denver playing later tonight does get that advantage. – 3:24 PM

Memphis football blows out Temple for just the 10th 9-win season in program history. Will go for 4th 10-win season in less than a decade in a bowl game (hopefully vs. P5 opponent, maybe in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl). Tigers haven’t beaten anyone great, but they have made progress – 3:18 PM

ESPN’s coverage of Memphis this weekend has been rough. The 3-channel switcheroo during Memphis-Arkansas seemed totally unnecessary and detrimental to viewers. Today, whoever is calling Memphis-Temple football needs an on air fact checker. Maybe Memphis-Villanova will be better. – 1:10 PM

*Memphis will get two additional games on Dec. 6 and 8 that will likely be against teams below .500. – 12:08 PM
