Memphis Tigers Set to Host Florida Atlantic Owls at Elma Roane Fieldhouse
As the Memphis Tigers prepare to welcome the Florida Atlantic Owls to the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The upcoming game is scheduled for January 20th and will see the Tigers looking to assert their dominance on their home court.
The Memphis Tigers have had a mixed bag of performances recently, with their last game against Mississippi State Bulldogs on December 17th ending in a loss with a score of 63-81. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from that game, particularly in terms of assists where they managed 16 compared to Bulldogs' 15. However, shooting was an area of concern as they only converted approximately 29 percent from the field and just half from the free-throw line.
In contrast, when pitted against Southern Miss Lady Eagles on December 10th at home, MT emerged victorious with a close scoreline of 69-67. Their resilience was evident as they fought through times tied and lead changes. The team's three-point shooting stood out at approximately 39 percent which could be pivotal in overcoming FAU.
Looking back further into their season performance provides additional insights into MT's capabilities. On December 7th against Columbia Lions in New York, despite falling short by ten points (66-76), MT showed promise with fast break points tallying up to an impressive number of eighteen and maintaining decent two-point field goal percentage around 46 percent.
MT's defense has been less than stellar lately; however, it’s worth noting that during these games they have consistently outperformed their opponents in offensive rebounds which could be key against FAU if capitalized effectively.
FAU comes into this matchup after having its own set of challenges throughout the season but should not be underestimated as any given day can turn fortunes around in basketball – especially women’s college basketball where competition is fierce and unpredictable.
With both teams looking to improve upon their recent forms, it will come down to execution on game day. MT must focus on improving its field goal percentage while continuing its aggressive rebounding strategy. If they can also harness energy from playing at home and convert that into defensive stops leading to transition opportunities – there might just be enough for them to secure victory over FAU.
Fans are encouraged not only by past glories but also by potential future triumphs; therefore all eyes will be fixed upon Elma Roane Fieldhouse come January 20th at precisely eight o'clock PM local time when these two teams clash head-on without any broadcast networks covering live action – making it all more reason for fans fill up stands support Memphis Tigers firsthand!
