MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis has had a few days to come down from the excitement of playing in front of record-setting crowds against Tennessee on opening weekend at FedExPark. Now it's time for the Tigers to get back to work and to focus on winning their first series of the season, against Illinois State this weekend at FedExPark.
The Redbirds (2-1) are making a second-consecutive trip to the state of Tennessee after opening the season at the Governors Challenge hosted by Austin Peay. Illinois State won games against Indiana State and Youngstown State but lost to the Governors.
