ORLANDO, Fla. – The University of Memphis will attempt to extend its two-game winning streak Saturday at UCF, an American Athletic Conference opponent the Tigers defeated earlier this season at FedExForum, but one that will be a challenge at home.
The Tigers (15-10, 7-5 The American) are coming off a 79-69 league victory at ECU, a game in which the UofM shot 56 percent. Memphis beat UConn at home to start the streak.
UCF (18-5, 8-3 The American) has, like most league teams, been difficult to defeat at home. The Knights are 12-2 in games this season at CFE Arena, including a 5-1 mark in conference games.
