MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Playing in the Second Round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament, the Memphis Tiger women's basketball team welcomed the Cardinals from Ball State Tonight. A fast start from the Tigers would fuel them to the 79-62 win and a trip to the Round of 16.
Following tonight's game, Memphis moves to 22-10 overall. After tonight, Memphis is the only AAC women's basketball team still playing in the postseason. This is the first time since the 1999 season that the program has made it to the Round of 16 in the WNIT.
The Tigers would pick up right where they left off from last week, going on a 20-0 run to open the game, that included buckets from Jamirah Shutes, Emani Jefferson and Madison Griggs on consecutive possessions.
