PJ Haggerty scored 27 points to lead No. 21 Memphis over a stubborn North Texas 68-64. Haggerty was 11 of 14 from the field, including hitting his first seven shots in the game.

The Tigers (12-3, 2-0 AAC) — ranked 25th in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll and No. 21 in the Associated Press Top 25 — had to fend off a scrappy Mean Green team (10-4, 1-1), one that went into the game ranked higher in the NCAA’s NET ratings than any team in the conference besides Memphis.

The University of North Texas is bringing back the Mean Green Basketball Coaches Show live from Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q in Denton on Monday.
