In their most recent matchup against the Commodores, the Tigers edged out a win with 77 points against 75. Their ability to convert from the free-throw line was crucial, hitting 74 percent of their shots. They also demonstrated tenacity on defense with ten steals and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.0.


The game prior saw another win for Memphis against the Cavaliers, where they posted an impressive 77 points once again. Their field goal percentage stood out at approximately 47 percent, coupled with an even more remarkable three-point shooting rate of around 39 percent. The defense was relentless as well, racking up fifteen steals and maintaining control over turnovers.


Looking back two games ago when they faced Clemson's team, Memphis showed resilience by overcoming a halftime deficit to win by two points with a final score of 79-77. Their interior game was dominant; they scored heavily in the paint and boasted an impressive two-point field goal percentage of about 61 percent.


The upcoming game is set to be held at FedExForum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as a sixth man for the home team—on January 11th at 7:00 PM CST (01:00 AM UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ and witness whether Memphis can maintain its momentum or if UTSA will disrupt their stride on this home court advantage stage.
