Tigers and Green Wave Set to Clash in Memphis Showdown

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the Tulane Green Wave at Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Tigers, coming off a mixed bag of performances, are looking to establish consistency and dominance on their home court.

In their last game against Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Tigers fell short with 63 points against the Bulldogs' 81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably their three-point shooting accuracy stood at thirty-three percent and they managed an assists turnover ratio of 1.45. However, they'll need to improve on their twenty-nine percent field goal rate and increase their points in paint which was just twenty-four.

The previous home game saw a better outcome for the Tigers as they edged out Southern Miss Lady Eagles with sixty-nine points to sixty-seven. Their three-point shooting improved slightly at thirty-eight percent while maintaining a solid forty percent two-point percentage. They also showed resilience in turnovers by keeping them down to sixteen while scoring seventeen points off turnovers.

However, when playing away against Columbia Lions, the Tigers struggled despite scoring sixty-six points; they lost by ten points in a high-scoring affair that ended seventy-six to sixty-six in favor of Columbia. The team's field goal percentage was again an area of concern at thirty-nine percent along with a low assists turnover ratio of 0.6.

The upcoming game will test whether the Tigers can leverage their home advantage and improve upon these statistics against Tulane Green Wave's defense strategies.

Fans can catch all the action from Elma Roane Fieldhouse on February 10th at 8 PM local time as both teams vie for victory on Memphis soil.
