Tigers Win, St. Pete Bowl, Kennedy's Rude Homecoming

The Memphis Tigers edged out a 59-51 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock last night. The Tigers appear to have a lack of confidence on the court that needs be corrected quickly. Cal needs to send the team to self-affirmation classes before Saturday's game against Syracuse or it may be a long Saturday afternoon.

The MagicJack St. Petersburg Bowl is also Saturday afternoon/early evening. Should be an interesting matchup between Memphis and South Florida. The Bulls will have the home field advantage should take care of business 31-20.

Mississippi Head Basketball Coach Andy Kennedy was arrested early this morning in Cincinnati for allegedly punching a cab driver in the face while yelling racial slurs. Cincy news outlets are reporting that there is an independent witness who saw the incident. As always, there are two sides to every story and you are innocent until proven guilty, but this doesn't look good. Kennedy is a former Cincinnati assistant coach and interim HBC.
