Elma Roane Fieldhouse to Witness Memphis Tigers vs. Saint Louis Billikens Showdown

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to face off against the Saint Louis Billikens at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 17th, is expected to be a showcase of determination and skill from both teams. However, based on recent performances and statistics, there's reason to believe that the Memphis Tigers have an edge.


Vanderbilt Commodores VS Memphis Tigers

The Memphis Tigers' resilience was on full display in their last outing against Towson University on December 13th. Despite trailing in the first quarter with only 11 points compared to Towson's 26, they clawed back into contention with a remarkable second-half performance. The final scoreline read a narrow victory for MEM at 73-71. This comeback highlighted their ability not just to endure pressure but also to overturn it.


Contrastingly, when analyzing their performance against Middle Tennessee on December 10th at home ground—the same venue where they will host SLU—it's evident that consistency can be an issue for MEM. They suffered a disappointing loss scoring only 53 points while allowing Middle Tennessee to rack up 69 points. This game exposed some defensive vulnerabilities that SLU might look to exploit.


However, taking into account another recent home game on December 9th against North Carolina Central Eagles where MEM triumphed with an impressive score of 92-66 shows what this team is capable of when firing on all cylinders—especially when playing in front of their home crowd.


MEM has demonstrated significant scoring potential this season; they've shown they can put up big numbers and maintain a strong offensive presence throughout all quarters of play. Their ability to bounce back from deficits will serve them well against SLU who will undoubtedly bring challenges of their own.


SLU comes into this matchup as worthy opponents but must be wary of MEM’s high-scoring offense which seems particularly potent at Elma Roane Fieldhouse—a fortress that has seen some memorable performances from the home side.


In conclusion, if MEM can channel their resilience from the Towson game and combine it with the offensive prowess displayed against NCCU Eagles while tightening up defensively as needed, there’s every reason for fans to expect another win added onto their record after Saturday night’s clash.


Fans eager not only for victory but also for witnessing women's basketball played at its finest should mark their calendars: The Memphis Tigers are set to take on Saint Louis Billikens at Elma Roane Fieldhouse in Memphis TN (zip code:38111) come Saturday evening; tip-off is scheduled for sharp at 8 PM local time (3 PM UTC). While no broadcast networks have been announced yet, loyal supporters should stay tuned for updates regarding where they can catch live action as these two teams battle it out on court.
