Halftime in the Battle 4 Atlantis title game: Villanova 44-16 over Memphis. Tigers have it 7 of 9 FTs. But...they are 1 of 12 from deep and 4 of 27 overall.
Villanova up by *28* at the half against Memphis in the Battle 4 Atlantis title game. Have watched enough of Nova this week to know: Kyle Neptune has no excuses this year. Nova has Top 10 talent in the sport. Period.
HALF: Villanova 44, Memphis 16 Yikes.
Nova absolutely just pouring it on now. It was already ugly, but Cats just went on a 12-0 run over past 3 min. Nova 44, Memphis 14 w/ 26 secs left in 1st half
Unbeaten Memphis is playing once-beaten Villanova in the Bahamas. Memphis is 1 of 10 from deep and 4 of 22 overall and trails, 32-12, with 3:59 left in the first half.
Jeez. Nova rips off 9-0 run over past 2:47. Hits three straight 3s. Penny calls TO. Nova 16, Memphis 2 w/ 14:15 left in 1st half
Nova 7, Memphis 2 w/ 15:57 to go in 1st half Wildcats started game by making 2 of their first 3 shots but now have missed their last 4 FGs. Tigers have also missed their last 4 and are on 2-min scoring drought.
For one last time from Paradise Island, let’s hoop. Memphis-Nova for the Battle 4 Atlantis title. https://t.co/k0DC5gbHl1
Should be a fun one today between two schools that have some history, to say the least. Here’s what I’m looking for when Memphis tips off against Villanova with the Battle 4 Atlantis championship on the line: https://t.co/hz0OKJTU87

Solid win for Memphis over Arkansas at the Battle 4 Atlantis. David Jones with a career high 36 points. I think this is Penny’s best team at Memphis. Lots of well traveled veterans. Will play Villanova in the final tomorrow at 3:30 ET on ESPN.
Final: Memphis 84, Arkansas 79 Too many fouls and turnovers to go with bad defense. Khalif Battle scored 21 and Trevon Brazile had another double-double with 13/12, but this team has some issues. North Carolina awaits tomorrow at noon in third-place game.
Khalif Battle with a big, big bucket. His 3-pointer cuts Arkansas' deficit to 4 points. Memphis 76, Arkansas 72 w/ 1:04 left in game
Memphis 66, Arkansas 61 w/ 6:27 left to play
Memphis leads 64-59 at the U-8, but Arkansas with the last 4 points. Yes, the refs have been horrendous, but the Arkansas offense has settled too often. Khalif Battle can get to the paint at will against this defense. If he makes good decisions, good things will happen.
Memphis leads Arkansas 54-50 at the U-12. Hogs have 11 turnovers and just 4 assists. Headed for a third-straight game with more turnovers than assists.
Holy cow what a finish for Memphis to the first half against Arkansas.
Half: Memphis 42, Arkansas 37. Khalif Battle with 12 pts. Trevon Brazile has 6/5. Tramon Mark played just 6 minutes with foul trouble. 10 turnovers for the Hogs. More minutes for Battle/Ellis = better offense, but the defense has taken a step back tonight.
Memphis 32, Arkansas 29 w/ 3:46 until halftime
Memphis 15, Arkansas 13 w/ 11:49 left in 1st half
Arkansas 8, Memphis 6 w/ 15:53 left in 1st half Six of the Razorbacks' eight pts have come off offensive rebounds. Tigers gotta find a way to keep teams off the glass.
