Memphis basketball vs UNLV score today: Live updates, highlights from non-conference game

LAS VEGAS — The Memphis basketball team will try to reverse what has become a trend when it tips off against UNLV on Saturday.

In the Tigers’ second exhibition game against Alabama, they trailed by 20 points at halftime. In the season opener on Monday, Penny Hardaway’s team was behind by 10 at the break against Missouri.

“I think (in) the first half, they just came out more aggressive than us,” Memphis guard PJ Haggerty said after Monday’s win. “(Missouri was) hitting shots, playing good defense. But I think in the second half, we figured them out. We were able to get the lead and keep the lead.”

Haggerty, in particular, was feast or famine by halves in those games. He scored 28 of his 32 points in the second half versus the Crimson Tide, then dropped 22 of his 25 against Missouri after halftime.

“I hope sooner than later that it picks up earlier than in the second half,” Hardaway said with a smile Monday.
