MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- It was a scene one usually must wait until late in the NCAA tournament to find, and only then after treading cautiously into losing-team interview sessions: Here, in the Memphis locker room at FedEx Forum late on Saturday night, hung an uncomfortably thick silence. Everywhere on the Tigers' faces were expressions of dejection and anger associated with the end of something big.

In March they would mean the premature death of a championship run. On Saturday they were reactions to the end of an undefeated regular season and a 47-game home winning streak. All-America candidate Chris Douglas-Roberts slumped back in his locker, his white jersey draped completely over this head so he would not have to face the media. Joey Dorsey hunched over on his stool and refused to take questions, remaining in the same position for more than 20 minutes. The few Tigers who agreed to talk were sullen; all Andre Allen would say was, "It doesn't feel good. It feels like a loss."
