MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers can close the month of January on a high note Thursday night against East Carolina. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. on ESPN2, and the game is a Black Out with fans encouraged to wear black.
Thursday's game is also Memphis' Coaches vs. Cancer Game, and speed painter Jessica Haas will be performing at halftime.
The Tigers will be looking to avenge a heartbreaking loss to the Pirates at the buzzer 12 days ago in Greenville, N.C., where Memphis led by 19 points and were playing with only six scholarship players available due to injuries.
