Moore finished with 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting. Memphis led 57-56 until Shake Milton hit a 3-pointer and Brown a pair of free throws for a four-point SMU advantage. Jeremiah Martin missed a corner shot that would have given Memphis a lead with less than a minute to go before Moore hit his floater. With his team leading 65-62, Moore stole the ball and Brown drew an intentional foul and made two from the line.
