Williams has provided a much-needed go-to guy and leads the team with 20.1 points per game. Pierre Henderson-Niles contributed with 15 points in the win.<\/p>\n<p>The victory extended the Tigers home winning streak to 22 games, and a 100-10 record at FedEx Forum. Memphis has neither progressed nor digressed into a team that has the talent to defend its C-USA title this season.<\/p>\n<p>Their only two losses came by way of a struggling UMass team 73-72 and a 58-57 loss to Kansas, while their nine wins came from a pretty soft early schedule.    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/?cmpid=3052_1355\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/book_basketball_260_180_0.gif?cmpid=3052_1355\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tyler Smith ld his team with 16 pints as No. 16 Tennessee cruised to a 99-78 victory over North Carolina A&amp;T on Wednesday night.
