UNCASVILLE, Conn. – The calendar turned to the month of March earlier this week, and that can mean only one thing: March Madness has arrived.
The Madness begins for the University of Memphis women's basketball team Saturday, Mar. 5 when it opens play in the 2016 American Athletic Conference Tournament. The Tigers, the tournament's No. 4 seed, faces No. 5 seed Tulane in an 11 a.m. (CT) quarterfinal contest.
The league's four-day annual tournament is being played at the Mohegan Sun.
The Tigers enter the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the league, having won nine of their last 11 games.
