MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis head men's basketball coach Tubby Smith announced Thursday the program's 2017-18 non-conference schedule, which features 10 home games and trips to New York City, Annapolis, Maryland, and Birmingham, Alabama.
"We've put together a strong non-conference schedule that will allow our players to develop and grow as we prepare for a very difficult league schedule in the American Athletic Conference," said Smith. "Our team will be tested early on against Alabama, who was in the NIT last season. I am also impressed by the teams we have on our schedule that played in the NCAA Tournament last season in New Orleans and Northern Kentucky.
