Memphis Tigers vs. Virginia Cavaliers | Full Game Highlights | ESPN College Basketball

And this is an orange out for the first time in 15 seasons. UVA goes with the orange throwbacks, hoping to awaken the days of some great UVA teams from years past. They'll take on top 25 Memphis. Teams added their paint. Their task today is keeping that trio of guards in front of them. Lee Cassell, Burt Smith, Terry Oglesby are officials. Memphis in possession first. A Tiger team that's played one of the hardest schedules in the nation and turns it over on the first possession. Saunders goes back in three minutes into the game. Elijah Saunders of Virginia lifts the lid for three times to the chagrin of Penny Hardaway. And Clemson got back into that game because those turnovers started to become problematic, much like we've seen early here. At three in the first five possessions. Saunders in the corner. Lydian's skill is what makes him so tough. It's a combo of skill and power that catches you by surprise. McNeely gets free for three and leaves it short. Rebound to Jordane. Hagerty banks it in. PJ Hagerty's first bucket. What do you make of the way that not just programs look, but what the challenge has been for Rod Sanchez to take this thing over so close to the season as Buchanan plushes? With the power five teams that have been on their schedule so far, it's a team that's not very athletic. It's a team that's not very physical. Jordane, Hunter for three. Tyrese Hunter shooting at 52% from three. Jordane, Hunter for three. Tyrese Hunter shooting at 52% from three. Percent from three. Why would you leave this man? He is smoking hot. Good kick from Hagerty there. And then Rodey, Andrew Rodey. Kept UVA in the game against Bethune-Cookman last week with a career-high 12. Deep shot clock again. Rodey. Rodey, Andrew Rodey from the logo. The other end. Shoji, he's got a little range to him. From the parking lot, he's wet. Sharma in the corner. This is where Memphis can be so good. Hagerty in between a couple of Cavaliers. Especially him, so far in their lineup. What do you think makes this a better fit for him, or at least than we saw with the inconsistency the last couple of years in Texas? Just checked in, number six for Memphis. Hunter gets a breather. Here's the freshman, Kofi, into the senior danger. Just as you saw there, a really good athlete. Sharma strips it, taking it away from Rogers. That's the sixth Memphis turnover. Kofi was thinking about a three there. He can shoot it. Tane Murray's in the game for the first time. And Murray, a two-point win at Clemson. But there are times defensively when Penny Hardaway will play Dane Danger and Musa Sisay at the same time. Hunter around the screen, trying to step back from three. Good job by Sharma to stay down. Leads to Hagerty off balance. Danger battling for the ball. And Danger puts it up and in to score. And he has four rebounds, all offensive rebounds. Oh, wow. Care pass, and then Buchanan just clobbered PJ Carter. Tane Murray, most experienced player on the team, throws up a prayer. Robinson, stopped by Danger, and lost it to Rogers. Do you like the shots that Memphis is getting? Those are the shots you get against Virginia. I mean, little used. Maybe he needs more playing time, coach. Both those guys had at least 10 years left if they wanted it, and both said, nah, we're good. We don't want any more of this. Seven-point lead, Day Day Ames. Seven UVA players have scored, including Murray, who throws up, and Musa Sisay, not happy with a teammate there. Tane Murray there. And then with the movement that Virginia's creating with their offense, with their sides' offense, and the stuff that they are, these crossing actions is typically willing to give up. Robinson just called for his first foul. Rogers, Hunter, Memphis 1 for 10 from 3, Memphis 1 for 11 from 3. 8% today, 1 for 12 for the nation's second best three-point percentage team. Murray gets around Rogers, Murray shoves it home. The Virginia team looking for a major win against one of the more battle-tested teams in the nation. Danja inside from Jordan. Dane Danja's got half the Memphis points. Haggerty gives it to Hunter, who's 1 for 5, all from 3. Carter will spot a P.J. Carter rattles in a 3. Hasn't attempted a single free throw today, second in the nation in attempts last year. Saunders spinning, Danja helping. Danja rejecting. Really nice help. 7 to shoot. Carter's on the ground. McNeely, 3. It's good. Isaac McNeely in the dying moments of the half. The starters combined for 9. Three starters went scoreless in that first half. Here's McNeely, bouncing his way to the freshman coatline. He opens the half with a basket. Ron Sanchez still talking to him as Eshaan Sharma, the freshman, comes in. Hunter, great back cut. Haggerty scores 6 in a row. Cavalier team that has one good win, a neutral side over Villanova. And there's a strip. Rody just took it away from Haggerty. 13th in the country and free throws made. They're 7 for 7 today. And finally, Colby Rogers. Saunders finds McNeely. Cisse with a rejection. Playing with three fouls, a clean block for Musa Cisse. Deep one. McNeely, no. Haggerty with a rebound, his fourth. D.J. Haggerty, such a pace pusher. And he gets to the right hand. Hunter, it's been a hard day. 1 for 5, all from 3. So he'll shoot it from 2. Ames, Sharma, and Buchanan, very, very, very young Virginia lineup. Ames, one hand to this. Stops it. Murray passes it all the way back to Power. Have you cut on the block? And now Jordain running with it. And it leads to a pass and a foul for Haggerty, who can tie this game at the line. Job by Virginia getting it over. Once they did, T.J. Power driving it into a brick wall. And then Memphis shows you their ability to convert. So athletic. Memphis has its first lead of the game. And the pressure again, nearly got another turnover. Murray, two on one, goes into danger. Confident fielder of his career at UVA, he's got nine. Jordain inside, a cutting, Hunter is fouled and scores again. Memphis relentless in the paint. Score. That's a nice little back screen there for Dane Danger. What? He pulled it alive on the sideline for Virginia. Seen a 9.5-time lead evaporate. What a crossover. T.J. Haggerty just saucy to the hoop. To come away with at least some foul shots there. Roadie back for Saunders. Good look. Got it. The big turnaround after what they just withstood. Here in Charlottesville, it's Memphis by three with under nine to play. And Danger gets rejected by a very handsy Robinson. The whole second half, Haggerty driving. Cisse collecting and lost it. It's going to be Haggerty. It typically is. He's tripped up. He finds the three-point shooter. It's Carter for the first three and a half. We will see. Not much going there. Falling down, Haggerty. This is the first show of zone out of the timeout. Inside to Ames. We haven't seen Virginia have much in this second half. Lead back down to four. Six and a half to go. Here's Hunter gets free. You knew it was coming eventually. Tyrese Hunter with his second three. A slashing Haggerty tries to weave his way inside. Out of the rim and then Cisse finished with authority. This is what they can do. Murray dropping and fouled, continuing what could be a career-best game. Really good change of direction. And there's a couple of fouls. That one in his fourth foul. Great game against Powered Vixel in the non-conference. Free throws by Saunders cut the lead to four. Jordan and Saunders. Jordan has his first points. Murray has space to shoot it. Instead, it'll feed Saunders. He's been very efficient today. Only two of 10 on the year from three. So look at this reach down there. P.J. Haggerty scraping on that. Stretch here at Memphis, leading Virginia by six. Isaac McNeely goes in for two. And a nice job creating his space. Here he is. Kofi the big man's on him. A step back three. It is good. P.J. Haggerty. Perhaps a P.J. Haggerty. His first three of the game and a timeout taken by Virginia. This play is like driving around in a Rolls Royce naked wearing velour underwear. It's luxuriously. The year at TCU, redshirted, played a few games. And Tulsa last year, prolific score. Saunders from Ames. That's a good one for Aisha Saunders. Deemed to shoot 49.2 on the clock. And the lead's still two possessions. Four point game. Ames going to drive in. Ames, no. Kofi taps it in. Down to two with 9.6. Memphis has the only timeout. Ames initiating. Ames not going to take the three. What is happening here? Ames, the layup is good. Just 2 tenths of a second to go. And Memphis survives the orange crush here in Charlottesville. 64-62. Penny Hardaway now 6-0 against the ACC. And a terrific road win for these Memphis Tigers again.
