MEMPHIS, Tenn. – In what is seen as the most challenging portion of the American Athletic Conference schedule for the University of Memphis, the Tigers find themselves facing another upper-tier league team.
Sunday in the Fight for Literacy Game at FedExForum, the Tigers (12-7, 4-2 The American) will play host to conference preseason favorite UCF (15-4, 5-1 The American) at FedExForum. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. Memphis also has upcoming games at USF (Feb. 3) and at home against league-co-leader Cincinnati (Feb. 7).
The UofM is hoping to recover from a difficult road loss at Temple Thursday night.
