NICEVILLE, Fla. -- Iowas Peter Jok won a personal scoring duel with a career high 42 points while Memphis Dedric Lawson put up 35, but Lawsons Tigers carried the day in a back-and-forth contest for third place in the Emerald Coast Classic.Jeremiah Martin pitched in with 14 points and hit a pair of three-pointers that brought Memphis from behind and put the Tigers ahead to stay Saturday for a 100-92 win in the consolation game.The game featured three ties and 15 lead changes before Martins two long-distance shots put the Tigers (5-1) up for good 68-65 after trailing Iowa (3-3) by a point early in the second half.Thats what its about, said Memphis coach Tubby Smith. Theyve got Peter, whos their ace in the hole and the guy they go to and we have Dedric Lawson. He had a double-double for us, plus he gives up the ball. Hes just a total all-around player.K.J. Lawson had 17 points, Markel Crawford scored 16 and Craig Randall II added 15 points for Memphis.Shout out to Iowa and Peter Jok, Dedric Lawson said. He was a phenomenal player for them tonight. I just wanted to get the win at the end of the day `cause we lost yesterday. I wanted to go home at least 1-1.Memphis lost to Providence in the semifinals.Jok, the Big 10s scoring leader, rebounded after No. 7 Virginia, which boasts the nations top scoring defense, held him to only 13 points in Iowas Fridays 74-41 semifinal loss. Jok was averaging 24.3 points per game going into Saturdays contest. Tyler Cook was the only other Hawkeye scoring in double figures with 17.Its a shame when you have a guy play that well that you cant ride that to victory, said Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery. Obviously a better effort than yesterday, but (giving up) 54 points in the paint is not a recipe for success.Virginia held Jok in check by denying him the ball and double teaming him.So I watched film last night and talked to my trainer, Jok said. He sent me some clips on what I needed to do today to have a better offensive game.Each team had a big run in the first half. Memphis opened a 12-point lead, the largest advantage for either team, with a 14-2 run that began with Crawfords three-point shot to break a 7-7 tie. Iowa immediately responded with a 16-4 run to tie the game at 25-25.Dedric Lawsons jumper put Memphis back in the lead 27-25. Iowa never could get closer than one point behind before the half ended with Memphis up 54-51.BIG PICTUREMemphis: Defeating the Big 10s Hawkeyes was redemption for the Tigers after blowing a 12-point lead in Fridays 60-51 semifinal loss to Providence out of the Big East. That loss knocked some of the luster off the Tigers 4-0 season-opening record against weaker opponents. Their schedule will strengthen in December against the likes of 5-1 Mississippi and 4-1 Oklahoma.The hometown Lawson brothers, sophomore Dedric and freshman K.J., led the Tigers in scoring and rebounding going into Saturdays game. Dedric averaged 20.4 points 11.6 rebounds per game and K.J. was second in both categories with 13.4 points and nine rebounds per game.Coach Tubby Smith has acknowledged the Tigers have had some growing pains early in his first year at the helm. Smith blamed himself for not having the team adequately prepared for the zone defense that Providence used to help erase the Tigers lead in Fridays game. Smith, though, said theres still plenty of time to improve before getting into the meat of the Tigers schedule.Iowa: The trip to the Florida Panhandle was a bust for the Hawkeyes even though they easily had the largest fan contingent at the Emerald Coast. The loss to Virginia left those fans stunned and showed the Hawkeyes have plenty of work to do despite a gaudy 96.2 scoring average going into the tournament. Virginia, which leads the nation in scoring defense, held Iowa to less than half that figure. The challenges will continue to mount with a visit to Notre Dame next on the agenda and visit from No. 21 Iowa State looming on Dec. 8.UP NEXT:Memphis: The Tigers host struggling Jackson State (1-4) on Wednesday.Iowa: The Hawkeyes visit 5-0 Notre Dame in the ACC-Big 10 Challenge on Tuesday.Nike Zoom Nz Sale .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.
