Clash of the Titans: Memphis Tigers Set to Host Florida Atlantic Owls at FedExForum

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the Florida Atlantic Owls, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting encounter at FedExForum. The upcoming game, scheduled for February 25th, has all the makings of a classic showdown.

The Tigers have been on an impressive run lately, showcasing their prowess in recent games. Their victory over Tulane Green Wave on February 11th was particularly notable, with a commanding scoreline of 90-78. The team's offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot 47 percent from the field and an impressive 53 percent from inside the arc. With such statistics backing them up, it's hard not to feel confident about their chances against FAU.

MEM's defense has also been noteworthy; their ability to disrupt plays is evident in their last few outings. Against Tulane, they racked up 11 steals and matched that with five blocks – numbers that speak volumes about their defensive tenacity. This defensive solidity will be crucial when facing an FAU squad known for its resilience.

However, it would be unwise to overlook the Owls' capabilities. In one of their recent games against Temple Owls on February 9th, despite falling short by seven points (84-77), they demonstrated remarkable tenacity by rallying back in the second half after being down at halftime.

The key battle will likely come down to which team can assert dominance in paint – an area where MEM excelled against Tulane by scoring 40 points compared to FAU's performance against Temple where they managed only 32 points in paint despite shooting a higher percentage from two-point range.

One aspect where MEM needs improvement is free throw accuracy; shooting just above seventy percent could leave valuable points off the board against FAU who have shown proficiency from the line.

Looking ahead to February 25th’s game set for tip-off at 1 PM local time (2 PM ET), fans should expect MEM’s players like those who shined during previous matches - contributing both offensively and defensively - will need another strong performance if they are going to overcome FAU’s challenge.
