Four American Athletic Conference men's basketball teams picked up wins on Saturday (Nov. 23), including Wichita State and SMU, who stayed perfect at 5-0. Elsewhere, Memphis and UCF pulled out 1-point victories at home.

No. 16/20 Memphis 87, -/RV Ole Miss 86 - Box Score

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The 16th-ranked Memphis Tigers already knew they would have to play a long stretch without James Wiseman, their top freshman.

Then another freshman, Lester Quinones, went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury after playing less than nine minutes against Mississippi.

Good thing coach Penny Hardaway has other a handful of very talented freshmen.

Precious Achiuwa scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, while D.J. Jeffries added 23, including a dunk with a second left as Memphis held off the Rebels, 87-86, on Saturday for its third consecutive victory without Wiseman.

''To have a 16-point lead on a really well-coached team that has veteran guards and veteran players, I mean that's amazing for us,'' Hardaway said of this win. ''We will grow from this. We cannot go backward from this point forward with our energy and our understanding of what we're trying to do. But it's huge for us not to have Lester and James in there and be able to do that.''

Blake Hinson beat the buzzer with a 3 for the final margin after Ole Miss (4-1) had trailed by as much as 16 in the second half.

''At the end, couldn't make a play when we needed to,'' Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis said. ''But good college game in November.''

Memphis (5-1) snapped a three-game streak by Ole Miss in this series.

Hardaway has the youngest team in the country, according to KenPom.com. He still has the No. 1 recruiting class even with Wiseman sitting out an NCAA-mandated 12-game suspension.

Achiuwa also was a five-star recruit like Wiseman. He helped Memphis score the final seven points to take 45-38 halftime lead. Then the 6-foot-9 forward scored the first seven for Memphis in the second half, then the Tigers pushed their lead to 54-43 on a dunk by Jeffries with 15:57 to go.

The Tigers led 64-48 on a putback by Achiuwa with 11:19 left.

''The rest of the team just has to step up and make up for James not being here and not being able to play,'' Achiuwa said.

Ole Miss responded with a 17-6 run to turn a runaway into a thrilling finish. With 5 seconds left and Memphis up 85-82, Breein Tyree thought he'd gotten a shot off when fouled by Tyler Harris. Officials sent Tyree to the line for two free throws instead of 3. Tyree split the free throws before Jeffries' dunk.

''It was kind of a bang-bang play,'' Davis said.

Davis has three starters back for Ole Miss from his NCAA Tournament team last season. Tyree led Ole Miss with 24 points. KJ Buffen had a team-high 13 before fouling out with 10:10 left, and Hinson had 15.

Harris had 15 and Alex Lomax 14 for Memphis.

UCF 72, Charleston 71 - Box Score

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Collin Smith had a career-high 23 points, including two free throws with 22 seconds left, as UCF narrowly defeated Charleston 72-71 on Saturday.

Dre Fuller Jr. and Dazon Ingram each had 11 points for Central Florida (3-1).

Deondre Burns scored 14 points for the Golden Eagles (2-4). Kevin Obanor and Elijah Lufile had 13 points each.

The Shockers took the lead for good four minutes into the game on an Asbjorn Midtgaard dunk. Oral Roberts cut the lead to 56-53 on a Sam Kearns driving layup with just under six minutes to play but were outscored 10-6 the rest of the way.

Kansas City 74, East Carolina 68 - Box Score
