Can the Memphis Tigers Claw Back at Dale F. Halton Arena?
As the Memphis Tigers prepare to face off against the Charlotte 49ers at Dale F. Halton Arena on February 14th, fans are eager to see if they can bounce back from a recent slump. The Tigers have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, with their most recent game resulting in a disappointing loss against Mississippi State Bulldogs where they scored only 63 points compared to the Bulldogs' 81.
The statistics reveal some concerns for the Tigers; they struggled with field goal accuracy, shooting at just 29 percent and converting only half of their free throws. Their two-point percentage wasn't much better at 27 percent, which contributed significantly to their defeat despite grabbing more offensive rebounds than usual.
However, there's a silver lining as we look back two games prior when the Tigers secured a narrow victory over Southern Miss Lady Eagles with a score of 69-67. In that game, they improved their three-point shooting to an impressive 38 percent and had better control over turnovers with an assists turnover ratio of 1.13.
Yet consistency remains elusive for this team as evidenced by another loss against Columbia Lions where they posted similar field goal percentages but were outscored in points off turnovers and second-chance points.
As we approach Valentine's Day clash, it's clear that Memphis must address these inconsistencies if they hope to come out on top. The venue might play its part too; playing away could either galvanize them or add pressure against an undoubtedly competitive Charlotte squad.
For fans looking forward to catching this mid-February matchup live or from home, tip-off is scheduled for February 14th at Dale F. Halton Arena in Charlotte, NC – be sure not to miss it!
