Colby Rogers - Scores 23 points for Tigers Rogers tallied 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steal during Sunday's 84-72 win versus UAB.
Impact Rogers came up big for Memphis during the AAC Championship as he finished second on the team in points scored behind PJ Haggerty's 23. Rogers will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the team's first matchup in the NCAA Tournament versus Colorado State on Friday.

PJ Haggerty - Scores 23 in AAC Title Game Haggerty notched 23 points (8-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 84-72 win over UAB.
Impact Haggerty scored on an inefficient 8-of-22 looks from the field, closing with 23 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in an AAC Championship game win over UAB. The 2024-25 AAC Conference Player of the Year averaged 21.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals across 34 starts. Haggerty and the Tigers will face off against Colorado State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament this Friday.

Tyrese Hunter - Officially out for AAC Title game Hunter (foot) is officially out for Memphis' clash with UAB in the AAC Title game, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Hunter was spotted wearing a boot on his left leg and using crutches pregame, which suggested that he's unavailable for the AAC Title game. That's proven accurate, as the star senior will now officially miss his just second game of the season. Hunter, who averages 13.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals on 42/40/77 shooting splits, has been the engine that makes Memphis go on this AAC title run, but if the Tigers want to secure an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with a win, they'll need to do it without their point guard.

Baraka Okojie - Starting in AAC Championship Game Okojie is listed amongst Memphis' starters ahead of Sunday's AAC Championship matchup against UAB, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Okojie will start in place of the injured Tyrese Hunter (foot) as the Tigers face off against the Blazers in the AAC Title Game. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has appeared in 29 games this season (zero starts), averaging 1.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and one assist on 10.3 minutes per game.

Tyrese Hunter - Using crutches, wearing boot Hunter (foot) was seen using crutches and wearing a walking boot before the 2025 AAC Championship Game scheduled for Sunday, according to Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian.
Impact Hunter using crutches and a walking boot suggests he will sit out the 2025 AAC Championship Game. This makes sense, even though Memphis is fighting for higher seeding in this year's NCAA tournament. Hunter can get added rest before March Madness, which the Tigers are a shoo-in to get in anyway. However, the implication does not completely confirm that he is out, which a later update might do.
