Memphis guard Tyrese Hunter missed a game for the first time this season on Sunday when a knee injury kept him sidelined.
The good news: If Hunter has to sit out the 14th-ranked Tigers' Thursday game against South Florida in Tampa, coach Penny Hardaway appears to have a quality backup in place.
Former Virginia and Georgetown guard Dante Harris stepped up as Memphis outscored Temple 90-82 on Sunday to remain atop the American Athletic Conference.
The Tigers (20-4, 10-1 AAC) don't need big numbers from him every night with teammates such as PJ Haggerty (21.6 ppg) around to take the big shots. Haggerty and Dain Dainja (12.5 ppg) were the stars last week as Memphis averaged 86.5 points in a pair of home wins.
While the Tigers continue to stalk a league title, the Bulls (12-12, 5-6) come into town after taking a 75-70 home loss against Wichita State on Sunday. USF hit 52.2 percent of its field-goal attempts but committed 14 turnovers and was dominated 42-22 on the boards, allowing 19 offensive rebounds that led to 24 points.
Now Knox and his teammates will have to get up for their first matchup of the season with the Tigers. Their game last Jan. 18 in Memphis helped turn around their season. USF erased a 20-point second-half deficit and won 74-73, the second contest in a 15-game winning streak that produced the program's first regular-season conference title.
The Tigers own a 32-8 lead in the all-time series, including a 15-3 advantage in Tampa.
