Dozier, Dorsey keep Memphis perfect in Conference USA

Jan 25, 2007 - 4:44 AM MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Joey Dorsey and Robert Dozier teamed up to keep Memphis perfect in conference play.

Dorsey recorded a double-double and Dozier also had a strong game inside to lead the 14th-ranked Tigers to a 72-59 victory over Tulsa in a Conference USA matchup.

Still without leading scorer Chris Douglas-Roberts, who missed the game with an ankle sprain, Memphis (16-3, 6-0 Conference USA) turned to Dorsey and Dozier and the forward tandem led the Tigers to their eighth straight win.

Dorsey scored 13 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and added three blocked shots. Dozier also had his way inside, collecting 12 points and eight rebounds to go along with four blocks and three steals.

Guard Jeremy Hunt had 11 points off the bench for Memphis, which outscored Tulsa in the paint, 42-24, and scored 27 points off of 18 forced turnovers.

Ray Reese came off the bench and scored 17 points for the Golden Hurricanes (12-6, 2-3), who have lost three straight overall and all four of their road games this season.
