How to watch Memphis basketball vs. VCU Rams on live stream plus game timeThe Memphis Tigers basketball team is scheduled to play the VCU Rams on Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022. Here's how to watch.
Blake Hinson - Another strong performanceHinson provided 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 71-67 loss to VCU.
ImpactThe Panthers were without John Hugley (knee) in this game, but Hinson stepped his game up and had another strong showing offensively. He's now registered at least 10 points in three of his first four contests and is putting up 15.8 points per game so far, which is an upgrade compared to the 10.1 points he averaged last season as a full-time starter for Ole Miss back in the 2019-20 campaign.

Jorge Diaz Graham - Decent output in limited minutesDiaz Graham posted 10 points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and five rebounds over 20 minutes during Thursday's 71-67 loss to VCU.
ImpactDiaz Graham came off the bench but made the most of his minutes out there, as he based his production on volume rather than efficiency. That said, there's a chance this performance was an outlier and not the norm going forward, as he had scored a combined two points in his previous three appearances off the bench.
