By The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Quante Berry scored 22 points to lead Memphis, including the winning free throws with 2.3 seconds left in overtime, and the Tigers took down Tulane 96-95 on Sunday.

Rowan Brumbaugh’s desperation heave from the logo was off at the buzzer.

A layup by Tulane’s KJ Green with 13 seconds left in regulation tied it at 81-all. Dug McDaniel then missed a 3 to force overtime.

Berry shot 6 of 12 from the field, including 2 for 4 from 3-point range, and went 8 for 10 from the line for the Tigers (13-18, 8-10 American Athletic Conference). McDaniel scored 20 points and added seven rebounds and six assists. Thierno Sylla finished with 17 points. The Tigers ended a seven-game slide with the victory.

Brumbaugh led the way for the Green Wave (17-14, 8-10) with 31 points and two steals. Tulane also got 21 points and four steals from Asher Woods. Tyler Ringgold finished with 16 points and two steals.

Sylla scored six points in the first half and Memphis went into halftime trailing 40-31.

By The Associated Press
Cheryl Reeve is taking a break from her busy WNBA season to head to Knoxville this weekend and be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. She's only the second WNBA coach to enter the Hall of Fame, joining former Houston Comets coach Van Chancellor, who was inducted in 2001. “(I appreciate) the magnitude of this recognition of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the great work that has gone into this institution,” Reeve said. “To walk around and see the history of how much has been done years before I could ever have this opportunity to coach. Grateful to the WNBA because I think there was some consideration given schedule wise.” Reeve will be joined by WNBA greats Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne in this year's class. Parker and Delle Donne also will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame later this year. Other inductees include ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke, Kirkwood Community College coach Kim Muhl, Spanish star Amaya Valdemoro, French great Isabelle Fijalkowski and Clemson's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, Barbara Kennedy-Dixon.
