ATLANTA (AP) — Kendric Davis scored a season-high 27 points, DeAndre Williams added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Memphis beat No. 11 Auburn 82-73 on Saturday night to end the Tigers’ season-opening winning streak at eight.

Davis’ jumper beat the shot-clock buzzer to make it 60-50 with 11:18 remaining, and Memphis (8-2) was never threatened again. The closest Auburn got was an eight-point deficit on K.D. Johnson’s free throws with 3:04 left.

Wendell Green Jr. and Johnson each scpred 14 points and Chris Moore had 12 for Auburn (8-1), which began the day as one of 10 unbeaten teams in the nation.

Green’s offensive foul wiped out his basket and a missed layup by Moore in the closing minutes, and coach Bruce Pearl was called for a technical with 1:30 remaining to end Auburn’s last hope. Davis made two free throws to make it 75-65 heading into the final minute.

Auburn was trying to get off to a 9-0 start for the second time in nine seasons under Pearl, whose 2019-20 team started 15-0.

Davis, the reigning player of the year in the American Athletic Conference, came up limping on the baseline late in the first but stayed in the game and played a team-high 38 minutes. He has played with a sore ankle most of the season but went 9 for 19 from the field and had six assists and nine rebounds.

One game after setting season highs with 93 points and 10 3s in a lopsided win over Colgate, Auburn shot just 38.1% and went 6 for 24 beyond the arc.

Boum made both resulting technical free throws and Cincinnati was unsuccessful when inbounding the ball with .9 seconds remaining.

No. 24/25 TCU 83, SMU 75 - Box Score
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Mike Miles Jr. returned to the TCU lineup with 18 points and the 24th-ranked Horned Frogs extended their winning streak to six games with an 83-75 victory over SMU on Saturday night.

Miles was one of five players scoring in double figures for the Horned Frogs (8-1). Eddie Lampkin Jr., Micah Peavey and Emanuel Miller each had 11 points, and Chuck O’Bannon Jr. had 10.

Zach Nutall had 20 points for SMU (3-7), which lost its fourth consecutive game. Zhuric Phelps had 19 points, and Efe Odigie had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Miles, the preseason Big 12 player of the year missed Tuesday’s game because of illness. He put the Frogs ahead to stay with a jumper that made it 12-11 before Miller and O’Bannon added 3-pointers on consecutive shots.

Lampkin’s one-handed slam made it 22-13, coming after the 6-foot-11 center’s steal and getting ball back from Damion Baugh.

Miller (back issues) had also missed the win over Jackson State four days earlier. Baugh played only his third game since missing the first six because of an NCAA suspension.

When Miles was fouled on a drive with 5:43 left, he initially grabbed at his cramped lower leg and walked around after missing the first free throw attempt. He made the second before exiting with the Frogs up 70-55, and returned just more than a minute later.

Lampkin was holding his lower back when he got up after a collision in the lane when O’Bannon made a 3-pointer with 5:17 remaining to make it 73-55 — TCU’s largest lead before a late SMU push.
