Clash at FedExForum: Memphis Tigers to Host Alabama State Hornets in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the Alabama State Hornets at FedExForum, fans can anticipate an engaging matchup. The Tigers have been showing a strong performance trend, with their recent games highlighting their ability to maintain a solid offense and defense.

In their last game against the Aggies, the Tigers secured an 83-79 victory. Their offensive efficiency was evident with a field goal percentage of 56 and a two-point shooting percentage of 63. They also demonstrated defensive prowess by blocking seven shots and stealing the ball eleven times. However, they will need to watch their fouls as they committed 27 personal fouls in that game.

Another notable performance was against Auburn where the Tigers won with an 82-73 scoreline. They dominated inside with points in paint totaling 50 and maintained a field goal percentage of 50. Despite this, turnovers were an issue as both teams gave up possession nineteen times.

The previous away game against Alabama showed resilience despite ending in an 88-91 loss for Memphis. The team managed to put up impressive numbers in fast break points (18) and points off turnovers (13), but struggled from beyond the arc with only one three-pointer made out of twelve attempts.

The upcoming game at FedExForum could be influenced by home-court advantage for Memphis, considering past performances there have been strong. Fans should expect high energy from both teams but particularly look out for how well Memphis controls its turnover rate while capitalizing on fast breaks and maintaining its scoring efficiency inside.

The match is scheduled for December 22nd at FedExForum in Memphis, TN; tip-off is set for 7:00 PM local time (01:00 AM UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+.
