Memphis Basketball: News and Updates
Upcoming Games and Schedule
Memphis Basketball is set to face off against the University of Central Arkansas Bears on November 7th at the FedExForum. This will be the first game of the season for the Tigers, who are looking to build on their success from last year.
The Tigers are coming off a 22-10 season in which they finished second in the American Athletic Conference. They also made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
This year's team is led by senior guard Kendric Davis, who was named to the preseason All-AAC team. Davis is a dynamic scorer and playmaker who will be counted on to lead the Tigers this season.
Key Players to Watch
In addition to Davis, the Tigers have several other key players to watch this season, including:
- DeAndre Williams, a 6'9" forward who is a force on the boards
- Earl Timberlake, a 6'6" wing who is a versatile scorer and defender
- Jalen Duren, a 6'11" center who is one of the top recruits in the country
Expectations for the Season
The Tigers have high expectations for the season. They are ranked No. 15 in the preseason AP Poll and are expected to contend for the AAC championship.
Memphis will be tested early in the season, as they play a tough non-conference schedule that includes games against Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
If the Tigers can survive their non-conference schedule and win the AAC championship, they will be in a good position to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
