Tigers Head to Kansas Before Hosting Florida Atlantic
Jan 16, 2024 | Women's Basketball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Coming off its first American Athletic Conference win of the season, the University of Memphis women's basketball team will take on another split week when they make the trip to Kansas to take on Wichita State on Wednesday night before playing host to Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
Wednesday's game is scheduled to tip-off at 6 p.m. while Saturday's game will be played at FedExForum at 2 p.m. Both games can be found on ESPN+.
Due to winter weather impacts on campus at Elma Roane Fieldhouse, the University of Memphis chose to move Saturday's contest to FedExForum.
Fans who already purchased tickets for Saturday's game will be able to show their ticket at the Grand Lobby main gates for entrance. Fans wanting to purchase tickets can do so in person at the FedExForum Box Office beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday or at GoTigersGoTix.com. All seating will be General Admission on the south side of the arena in the lower bowl behind the benches.
All fans with a valid game ticket will be able to park in the Gossett Motors Parking Garage for free on Saturday. Levels 3 and 4 will be available to park, with entrance into FedExForum at the main gates through the Grand Lobby.
The Tigers 'We Back Pat' Day will be rescheduled to another home game this season. Details and information will follow at a later date.
Memphis (5-11, 1-4) is coming off a 59-57 win over Temple – the team's first AAC win of the season. Alasia Smith led the team with her fifth double-double of the season with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Madison Griggs and Shelbee Brown added in 14 and 10 points, respectively.
As a team, the Tiger defense forced the Owls into 22 turnovers while converting those into 19 points.
For the season, Griggs and Smith are leading the team, offensively, while Smith is averaging a near double-double with 10.0 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.
Wichita State (5-12, 1-4 AAC) is coming off its fourth consecutive loss after falling 72-68 to North Texas on Sunday afternoon. Salese Blow led the team with 23 points while the team drained nine three-pointers during the game.
The Shockers are led in scoring by Tre'Zure Jobe, Daniela Abies and Salese Blow with a combined 34.2 points per game while Abies ranks in the top-6 in the AAC in total rebounds this season.
Last season when Memphis and Wichita State met, the Tigers used an explosive first quarter to take an early lead. Eight late made free throws secured them the 70-60 win – which started an eight-game winning streak for the Tigers.
Florida Atlantic (5-11, 0-5 AAC) fell to Tulsa on Saturday after the Owls were forced into 21 turnovers and the Golden Hurricane sank 13 three-pointers.
Aniya Hubbard, Jada Moore, Mya Perry and Janeta Rozentale are scoring the vast majority of the team's points while Perry is leading the conference in three-pointer percentage at 45.2.
Saturday's game against Florida Atlantic will be the first all-time meeting between the Tigers and Owls.
