Memphis falls short in shootout, lose 45-38 at Connecticut
STORRS -- Paxton Lynch and the Tigers offense did their part, but the defense was unable to get key 4th quarter stops, allowing 21 points in the final frame...including a late score that proved to be the difference in the Tigers second loss of the season.
The loss not only dropped the Tigers to 8-2, but caused them to fall out of first place in the AAC. They now trail both UCF and Connecticut by one game each.
