Tigers Host Houston, Head to Wichita

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tiger women's basketball team faces an important week ahead as they take on Houston on Wednesday night and Wichita State on Saturday afternoon.

Memphis (12-9, 4-4 AAC) is coming off a heartbreaking loss to #25 South Florida where the Tigers would erase a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to get within five of the Bulls with less than a minute left in the game. Despite the enormous comeback, two free throws from USF would secure them the 67-62 win.

Jamirah Shutes had herself a day with a team-high 17 points, 13 of which came in the second half, while Madison Griggs and Hannah Riddick added in 14 and 12 points, respectively.
