Memphis scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Sunday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Shockers 112-86 on the road. That 26 points margin sets a new team best for Memphis this season.

Memphis can attribute much of their success to Jaykwon Walton, who went 6 for 8 from beyond the arc en route to 23 points and 3 assists, and Jahvon Quinerly, who shot 5-for-6 from downtown and dropped a double-double on 23 points and 11 assists. That's the first time this season that Quinerly posted ten or more assists. Another player making a difference was David Jones, who scored 19 points.

Meanwhile, the Bulls earned a 81-73 win over the Owls on Friday. South Florida was down 38-26 with 2:28 left in the first half but they still came back for the handy eight-point win.

The Tigers pushed their record up to 15-2 with that victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 89.0 points per game. As for the Bulls, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season.

Thursday's contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Memphis have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37 rebounds per game. However, it's not like South Florida struggles in that department as they've been averaging 36.8 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
