A MEMPHIS STARTING FIVE • For the first time in over 20 years, the Tigers put a starting five on the floor all from the city of Memphis in their Nov. 12 season opener. • The starting five from the Bluff City were Tarik Black, Chris Crawford, Ferrakohn Hall, Joe Jackson and Adonis Thomas in Memphis’ Nov. 12 game versus North Florida. The same all-Memphis lineup started the Nov. 17 Samford and Nov. 22 VCU games. • Prior to this year’s season opener, the last time the Tigers placed an all-Memphis starting five on the floor in a season opener was 1987-88. In that year’s season opener versus Jackson State, the all-Memphis starting five were Rodney Douglas, Sylvester Gray, Marvin Alexander, Dwight Boyd and Elliot Perry. • In overall games, the last time an all-Memphis starting five played for the Tigers was on “Senior Day” in 1994-95 season. That game’s (versus Dayton) starting five were Justin Wimmer, Marcus Nolan, Lorenzen Wright, Leon Mitchell and Jason Fox. • The Tigers’ all-time record in which an allMemphis lineup started is 134-42 (.761 winning percentage; includes 2012-13). • The most-successful, all-Memphis starting lineup was the one consisting of Baskerville Holmes-Keith Lee-William Bedford-Vincent Askew-Andre Turner. That all-Memphis starting five went 28-3 in the 1984-85 season. • For a complete historical list of all-Memphis starting fives in the program’s history, look at the box on page 6.
