• OnWednesday,Pastner faceshisfifthC-USAcoach with a Tar Heels tie in Mustangs mentor Larry Brown.
• Pastner has an 11-4 record (.733 winning per-centage) in these match-ups, and the following breaks it down:
IT’S AN NCAA RING THING • Both head coaches in Wednesday’s Memphis-
SMU match-up have NCAA title rings. • Memphis head coach Josh Pastner won his
NCAA title as a player on the 1996-97 Arizona squad. Arizona defeated Rick Pitino’s Kentucky team for the championship.
• In the 1987-88 season, SMU head coach Larry Brown guided Kansas to the NCAA title with current Tulsa head coach Danny Manning lead-ing the way.
A TIGER’S HOMECOMING • Senior D.J. Stephens is making his next-to-last,
regular-season trip back to his home state of Texas when the Tigers play at SMU in Dallas Wednesday.
FedExForumThe Home of The Tigers
The 2012-13 season marks the ninth for the Tigers in their home arena,FedExForum,whichofficiallyopenedinSeptember,2004.Lo-cated just a few feet off Beale Street on historic Highway 61, FedEx-Forum rises to extend the heart of the Memphis entertainment district. Memphis plays all of its 2012-13 home contests in the 18,400-seat arena, which served as the host site for the 2012 Conference USA Tournaments (men/women). FedExForum also hosted the 2005-09 Conference USA Tournaments, 2009 NCAA Men’s South Regional and 2010 NCAA Women’s South Regional. At 135 feet high, FedExForum provides a new backdrop for historic Beale Street. The 805,850 square-feet arena, covering 13.8 acres,featuresfivelevelsaswellasstate-of-the-artlockerroomsandfacilities for sports teams, as well as an exceptional dining and enter-tainment experiences for its patrons.

• The 6-foot-5 forward is from Killeen, which is around 150 miles south of Dallas.
• In his career, Stephens has a 5-3 record (.625 winning percentage) when he travels back to his home state, including winning the 2011 Confer-ence USA Tournament title with the Tigers.
TIGERS LOVE DALLAS-FORT WORTH IN THE 2000S • Memphis sure loves its homecourt at FedExFo-
rum, and the home record of 158-18 (.898 win-ning percentage) proves it.
• But, if the Tigers can claim a second “home” — a place they enjoy playing — they may want to consider the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
• Since 2000-01, Memphis has a 9-2 record (.818 winning percentage) in games played in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including two NCAA Tournament games in 2006. The following shows those results:

• Overall, Pastner has an 8-3 record (.727 winning percentage) against C-USA coaching newbies.
BROWN NOT NEW TO FACING TIGERS • Although he is new to Conference USA, SMU
head coach Larry Brown won’t be a new face to Tigers fans.
• Brown coached against Memphis three times in the 1980s and was 2-1 versus the Tigers.
• All three Brown-versus-Memphis encounters were single-digit outcomes, and the following shows that:

of how tough it can be to play in Moody Coli-seum with their last two visits ending in losses — 70-60 in 2009-10 and 64-58 in 2010-11.

• In the 2007-08 meeting in Dallas, Memphis had to fend off several Mustang charges before pull-ing away late for the 72-55 victory.
• In 2006-07, the Tigers entered the game with a perfect 15-0 league record, but had to scrap and clawtheirwaytoa64-61wintopreserveitsfirstperfect conference season.
