MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The 12th-ranked Memphis Tigers hit the floor Sunday afternoon at FedExForum, taking on LeMoyne-Owen College in the first of two preseason exhibition games. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m.
The Tigers return three starters and seven letterwinners from last year's team that went 20-8 and won the 2021 National Invitation Tournament, and Memphis has added the nation's top-ranked recruiting class to the mix this season.
Memphis was picked to finish second in the American Athletic Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, and Landers Nolley II, Jalen Duren, DeAndre Williams and Emoni Bates were voted to preseason all-conference teams.
