MEMPHIS, Tenn. – OK, the University of Memphis men's basketball team got the first-game jitters out of the way in its Nov. 10 season opener. Then, last Tuesday (Nov. 14), the Tigers put their home-opener butterflies behind them in the 70-62 win over Little Rock.
This Tuesday, it's down to regular business for Memphis when it welcomes the New Orleans Privateers to FedExForum.
With 11 newcomers and two returning starters taking on different roles, Tiger Nation was expecting to see some nerves in the first two games. Now, it's about making progress, and the next step takes place Tuesday against New Orleans.
