Dante Harris - Out for first round Harris (ankle) is out for Memphis' first-round game Friday against Colorado State, according to Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian.

Impact Harris' high ankle sprain continues to be a problem, so much so that it will force him to log his fifth consecutive DNP in what could very well be his last game as a collegiate athlete should Memphis lose against Colorado State. Memphis' team is also without Tyrese Hunter (foot), meaning the Tigers will have to rely on Baraka Okojie starting at point guard, with some of their wing players occasionally playing out of position.

Dante Harris - Game-time decision Friday Harris (ankle) is a game-time decision for Memphis' game Friday against Colorado State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact It is gameday for Memphis, and Harris' matchup availability will be pushed to the limit. Tyrese Hunter (foot) is out Friday, so the Tigers could really use Harris to ensure both experience and depth at their point guard position. When both Harris and Hunter sat out the 2025 AAC Championship Game, Baraka Okojie served as Memphis' primary point.
