After Lively exited the game, Doncic nine seconds later converted a 3-point play. Since then, however, it’s been a 7-0 Blazers run, in a span of 35 seconds. – 9:27 PM

Scoot Henderson’s 1st signature shoe — the Puma Scoot Zeros — dropped this weekend.
“I wanted the shoe to be really fast and to look aggressive,” says Scoot.

The goal this year is for Memphis and Penny Hardaway to finally make it back to the Sweet 16 (or maybe beyond). Well, this feels like an NCAA tournament 2nd round game. Memphis leads Clemson 43-40 after starting the 2nd half on an 11-1 run. – 4:15 PM

17-2 Memphis run. Clemson can’t get to the media timeout before calling one. FedExForum is going bananas. Brad Brownell is blowing up his team in the huddle. Penny Hardaway went small, amped up the pressure and Clemson felt an uppercut. – 3:22 PM

This game will be all about how Memphis handles Clemson’s big size advantage. Penny Hardaway has already gone small. Need to make Clemson more uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the player the Tigers could really use is sitting a few rows behind the bench. – 3:14 PM
