MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers are back home Sunday looking to stack momentum after their most complete performance of the season, a 92-65 dismantling of Florida Atlantic on Thursday night. That win pushed Memphis to 10-10 overall and 5-3 in American Conference play and set the stage for a key February home date against the Tulane Green Wave.

Tulane arrives in Memphis sliding the opposite direction. The Green Wave have dropped five straight, falling to 12-9 overall and 3-5 in league play and now face a Tigers group that has turned FedExForum into one of the league's toughest stops.

Memphis has won 18-straight home games against American Conference opponents, a streak that dates back to Jan. 31, 2023. Since Penny Hardaway took over prior to the 2018-19 season, the Tigers are 58-9 at home in conference play.

That said, Tulane has been a tricky matchup in recent years. Memphis has dropped at least one game to the Green Wave in three of the last four seasons, though the Tigers have won three straight in the series entering Sunday.

One of the biggest recent developments for Memphis has been the emergence of Aaron Bradshaw. The 7-footer enters Sunday with three straight games of 10+ points for the first time in his career, putting up 15 points against FAU earlier this week.

Bradshaw now owns eight double-figure scoring games this season after totaling just 11 combined across his previous two years at Ohio State and Kentucky, a clear sign of his growing role in the Tigers' frontcourt.

Senior guard Sincere Parker is also trending upward. Now second on the team in scoring at 9.9 points per game. He has reached double figures in five of his last seven games.

BY THE NUMBERS

4-0: Memphis has started 4-0 at home in conference play for the second straight season. The last time the Tigers did that in consecutive seasons was 2011-12 and 2012-13.
9: Memphis has held nine opponents to under 30% shooting from 3-point range at home this season, tied for the most by any Division I team this season.
11: Dug McDaniel carries the 2nd-longest active streak in Division I having recorded at least three assists and a steal in 11-straight contests. It matches the longest streak by a Memphis Tiger in the last 30 seasons.

21.5: Sincere Parker has averaged 21.5 points over his last two full games in just 23.5 minutes per contest. He's been surgical offensively, going 8-of-12 from the field in each game and a combined 4-of-5 from three in wins over UTSA and FAU.

SCOUTING THE GREEN WAVE

Tulane suffered its fifth consecutive loss on Wednesday falling 83-97 at home to South Florida.
The offensive glass proved to be consequential in the loss for the Green Wave as the Bulls outscored Tulane by 26 in second chance points.
The Green Wave holds a 3-2 record this season in true road games including a 2-2 mark in conference play.
Tulane is averaging 74.8 points per game on 45.5 percent shooting from the field and 36.5 percent from beyond the arc on the road.
Despite the five-game skid, Tulane still has one of the league's most dangerous scorers in Rowan Brumbaugh, the preseason American Conference Player of the Year.
Brumbaugh ranks second in the league at 19.1 points per game and is shooting 36.9% from three. He's scored 15+ points in 16-of-21 games this season and poured in a career-high 35 earlier this month at Charlotte.
Curtis Williams Jr. (13.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG) and Asher Woods (12.2 PPG, 3.1 RPG) are the second and third leading scorers for Tulane.
One of the Green Wave's strengths is getting to the free throw line, where they're 26^th in Division I with 18.7 charity stripe makes per outing and 34^th in free throw percentage (76.9).
Brumbaugh sits fourth in the country with 134 made free throws in 165 attempts.
Tulane ranks in the bottom 20 of the country in rebounding (30.8) and is getting outrebounded by 7.6 boards per game.

UP NEXT
Memphis is back in action next week with a two-game swing, opening with a Thursday night road test at UAB in Birmingham (8 p.m. CT, ESPN2) before returning home to face league-leading Charlotte on Sunday at 1 p.m. inside FedExForum.
