Temeka Johnson had 18 points and a season-high 13 assists, and Sylvia Fowles added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers (9-0), who have defeated three ranked teams this year.

Former coach indicted

A former junior college basketball coach was indicted on charges that he provided false academic information about his athletes to Division I schools looking to recruit the players. The indictment also charges former Barton County (Kan.) Community College head coach Ryan Wolf with getting his players grants they were not qualified to receive and campus jobs that paid them for work they did not perform.

Memphis forward suspended

Memphis forward Sean Banks was suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. Banks, the Tigers’ second-leading scorer this season, was the Conference USA freshman of the year last season.
