Tigers Set to Clash with Mustangs in Women's Basketball at Elma Roane Fieldhouse
As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the SMU Mustangs at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming Women's Basketball game is set against a backdrop of mixed results for the Tigers, who have shown both resilience and areas needing improvement.
In their last outing on home court against Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Tigers fell short with 63 points to the Bulldogs' 81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at 1.45 and they managed to secure 17 offensive rebounds which could be crucial in their next game.
However, it was a different story when they faced Southern Miss Lady Eagles where they narrowly clinched victory with a score of 69-67. This win was characterized by an improved field goal percentage of approximately 39 percent and a commendable three-point shooting performance at around 39 percent as well. Their ability to convert from beyond the arc could be pivotal in overcoming SMU.
The away game against Columbia Lions showed that while Memphis can put up points — finishing with 66 — turnovers proved costly as they matched Columbia's total turnovers but ultimately lost by ten points. A focus on ball security will be essential for success in future matchups.
The venue itself may play into Memphis' hands; Elma Roane Fieldhouse has been witness to both triumphs and setbacks this season but remains a fortress where fan support often spurs on home side performances.
Looking ahead, fans should watch for how Memphis addresses these statistical trends — reducing turnovers, capitalizing on fast breaks and offensive rebounds while maintaining solid shooting percentages from all areas of the court.
The action unfolds on January 12th at Elma Roane Fieldhouse in Memphis, TN. Fans can catch every play starting at 7:00 PM local time as both teams vie for victory in what promises to be an engaging contest between two competitive sides.
