MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For all University of Memphis students, the 2016 spring semester starts Tuesday. A group that may welcome the start of the spring semester is the Tigers women's basketball team which plays its seventh game in 18 days Saturday when it meets SMU in Dallas, Texas. Game time is 2 p.m. (CT) from Moody Coliseum.
After returning from Christmas break, the Tigers started their WNBA-like schedule Dec. 30 at Temple and then played four games in a week's time from Jan. 3-10. Memphis hosted No. 1 Connecticut Jan. 13 and now plays at SMU Saturday.
