MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tiger women's basketball team got their first taste of the 2022-23 season when they hosted Rust College in an exhibition game tonight. The Tigers would go on for the 84-51 win.

It was a back and forth first quarter as both team's shook off the cobwebs. Memphis would get back-to-back baskets from Maddie Griggs and Jada Wright to end the quarter and give the Tigers the 14-10 lead.

The Memphis offense exploded in the second quarter, notching 26 points off scoring from eight different players.
