Memphis has reclaimed the top position in the Mid-Major Basketball Top 25 Poll following an impressive 17-point victory over Ole Miss, the No. 16 team in the AP Top 25 Poll. The Tigers’ ambitious non-conference schedule has yielded significant results, as they boast a combined 8-2 record in Quad 1 and Quad 2 matchups.
