Harris doesn’t play vs. UAB
Dante Harris (coach’s decision) didn’t play in Memphis’ tilt with UAB on Sunday, Parth Upadhyaya of DailyMemphian.com reports. It’s unclear why exactly Tigers’ head coach Penny Hardaway elected to hold Harris out of the game, but his absence has now been confirmed to be a coach’s decision and not anything injury related. It’s unclear at the moment when the senior, who averages 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds, will return.

Memphis vs. Tulane CBB Prediction:
Take Tulane. The Green Wave have given the Tigers trouble in the past.

The Tigers have also dropped seven out of 10 at the betting window entering play tonight. The Green Wave, meanwhile, have covered in six out of their last eight games overall.
