TIGER BASKETBALL | Memphis Wins 6th Straight, Moving Up To #15 In The Country

The Tigers are getting the respect they’ve earned this season after being ranked the #15 team in the country following their sixth straight over the New Years weekend against Austin Peay.

They finished December with a 6-1 record and have taken down three previously ranked teams in Texas A&M, Clemson and Virginia.

To start off the new year, their impressive ranking will be tested next at Tulsa on January 4.

Despite not having played a conference game yet, they still hold the best overall record in the conference. Tulsa will be their first conference opponent at Oklahoma.

Tigers will begin the game broadcast Thursday starting at 6 p.m. for the pregame show on Newstalk 98.9, tip-off at 7 p.m.
