Memphis and Saint Louis both play very good defense, and that was apparent in a sluggish half offensively for both teams. The shots didn't fall very often for either squad, and at the halftime break, the Tigers and Billikens are tied at 23. Saint Louis tied the score right at the end with a three-point heave that banked in.
