MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis continues a stretch of eight games in 10 days with a trip to Storrs, Conn. to face UConn for a three-game weekend series. The Tigers (20-9, 2-1 AAC), who will be playing seven of the last eight on the road, face a Huskies squad that swept the preseason favorites East Carolina to open American Athletic Conference play.
The Tigers are tied for second in the conference after winning a series at Cincinnati, while UConn sits alone in first place.
Memphis dropped a series to the Huskies last season at FedExPark but the last time at J.
