Memphis women's basketball Coach Melissa McFerrin knew rebounding was a key for her team Tuesday night against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
The Tigers proved the point by outrebounding the Trojans 41-32 to roll to a 68-50 victory in front of an announced crowd of 753 at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.
McFerrin told her team that when playing UALR and Coach Joe Foley, opponents have to be tough and physical. She wanted the Tigers to match the Trojans in that area.
"It was a big part of the game," McFerrin said.
