MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis women's basketball team hosts its final game before Christmas break Saturday. The Tigers host Illinois at 2 p.m. (CT) at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, with the annual Teddy Bear Toss for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital to be held at halftime.
Sometimes, that last game before the break can be a tough one to get through with the holiday quickly approaching. But, head coach believes her Tigers will give Illinois their full attention Saturday afternoon, especially after the Fighting Illini's 60-58 narrow victory a year ago in Champaign, Ill.
