Can the Memphis Tigers Tame the Blazers at FedExForum?

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the UAB Blazers at FedExForum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash promises to be a spectacle of skill and strategy, with both teams looking to assert dominance.

The Tigers have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings. Their most recent game against Tulane's Green Wave ended in a triumphant 90-point finish, showcasing an impressive 47 percent field goal accuracy and a solid 70 percent from the free-throw line. This victory was underpinned by strong assists numbers (21) and points in paint (40), indicating effective ball movement and inside scoring.

However, this success hasn't been consistent. In their encounter with North Texas' Mean Green, the Tigers struggled with only a 37 percent field goal completion rate and were outscored by ten points. Despite converting 81 percent from the free-throw line, they couldn't capitalize on rebounds or turnovers as effectively as needed.

The fluctuating performances highlight areas for improvement but also demonstrate potential for dominance when execution is on point. Defensive efforts will need bolstering; while steals have been high (averaging over nine per game), blocks and defensive rebounds could be key against UAB's offense.

Playing at home should give Memphis an edge—their fans are known for creating an electrifying atmosphere that can rattle visiting teams. With FedExForum as their battleground, they'll look to leverage this advantage fully.
