THIS LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\nMemphis\u00a0will kick things off with an exhibition against Final Four participant Auburn at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. CT. This is a rematch of last season\u2019s Maui Invitational championship game where Auburn defeated\u00a0Memphis\u00a090-76.<\/p>\n
The Tigers officially tip off the regular season on Nov. 8 at home against San Francisco, followed by a road trip down to Oxford to face\u00a0Ole Miss on Nov. 11, continuing a four-year regional rivalry that saw\u00a0Memphis\u00a0defeat the Rebels 87-70 in the Bluff City last season to improve to 22-3 all-time in the series.<\/p>\n
Memphis\u00a0hosts UNLV on Nov. 16, a return game that marks the first visit by former Tiger coach Josh Pastner\u2019s squad since 1986. The week before Thanksgiving, the Tigers head to the Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, Bahamas (Nov. 20-21), opening against Purdue at 5 p.m. CT on Nov. 20, then taking on either Texas Tech or Wake Forest the following day.<\/p>\n
Returning stateside, the Tigers will host Southern Illinois (Nov. 26) and New Orleans (Dec. 3) before welcoming Baylor to town on Dec. 6 for a 3:30 p.m. showdown on CBS. It marks the first\u00a0Memphis-Baylor meeting since 2014 and the Bears’ first trip to\u00a0Memphis\u00a0since 1976.<\/p>\n
The Tigers’\u00a0schedule\u00a0is loaded in the month of December with four-consecutive power conference matchups. After the showdown with Baylor,\u00a0Memphis\u00a0will face stiff road tests at Louisville (Dec. 13) and Mississippi State (Dec. 20), while sandwiching a home date in-between with Vanderbilt on Dec. 17.<\/p>\n
Memphis\u00a0and Louisville announced in May a six-year agreement beginning this season. It marks the first time the two teams will square off since December 16, 2017.<\/p>\n
The Tigers\u2019 visit to Starkville, Mississippi will be only the fifth in program history and the first since Dec. 15, 1984.<\/p>\n
Memphis\u00a0has won four-straight over Vanderbilt and the programs are meeting for the third time in four years. The Tigers won 77-75 on Dec. 23, 2023 in FedExForum, helping Coach Hardaway to a 9-3 record at home against power conference opponents the last seven seasons.<\/p>\n
The Tigers will wrap up their nonconference slate with a Dec. 22 home date against Alabama State, before a road matchup in the middle of conference season at Utah State (Feb. 14) on Valentines Day.<\/p>\n
Game times will be announced at a later date for all games.<\/p>\n
