Memphis Tigers Set to Host Alabama State Lady Hornets at Elma Roane Fieldhouse
As the Memphis Tigers prepare to welcome the Alabama State Lady Hornets to the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying Women's Basketball matchup. The Tigers, who have shown both flashes of brilliance and areas in need of improvement this season, are set to take on a challenging opponent.
The last outing for the Memphis Tigers was a tough one against Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on November 6th. The game ended in a 47-67 defeat for MEM, with shooting percentages that left much to be desired. A field goal percentage of just 27 percent and a three-point percentage of 18 percent highlighted areas where the team struggled offensively. Additionally, their free throw performance was subpar at only 46 percent.
Despite these setbacks, there were positive takeaways from their previous games that should not be overlooked. In particular, their game against Ball State Cardinals on March 21st showcased what MEM is capable of when they hit their stride. Dominating with a scoreline of 79-62, they displayed efficient scoring and strong defensive play – something they'll look to replicate against ALST.
MEM's rebounding has been solid; pulling down an impressive total of 45 rebounds in their last game shows they can control the boards effectively. However, turnovers have been an issue – with MEM turning over the ball 20 times against Middle Tennessee – which will need tightening up if they're going to come out on top in this encounter.
On defense, steals and blocks will be crucial for MEM as they face off against ALST's offense. With eight steals in their last game but only three blocks compared to six by Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders suggests room for improvement in protecting the rim.
The Alabama State Lady Hornets come into this match-up as formidable opponents who will test MEM's resolve. Fans should expect nothing less than full commitment from every player wearing Memphis colors as they seek redemption after recent setbacks.
Looking ahead at what’s coming up next for these two teams: The scheduled tip-off is set for November 10th at Elma Roane Fieldhouse located within Memphis city limits; fans eager not miss any action can catch live updates through various sports networks or attend in person if possible given current health guidelines during these times.
