What to Know

Memphis is preparing for their first American Athletic Conference matchup of the season on Thursday. They and the FAU Owls will face off at 7:00 p.m. ET at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. The Owls have the home-court advantage, but the Tigers are expected to win by 3.5 points.

Last Saturday, Memphis wrapped up 2024 with an 87-70 victory over Ole Miss.

Colby Rogers was the offensive standout of the match as he went 6 for 9 from beyond the arc en route to 28 points. He had some trouble finding his footing against Miss. State two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction. The team also got some help courtesy of Moussa Cisse, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, FAU's good fortune finally ran out two weeks ago. They took a hard 86-69 fall against Michigan State.

Tre Carroll put forth a good effort for the losing side as he went 10 for 15 en route to 24 points plus eight rebounds. Another player making a difference was Baba Miller, who posted 12 points along with seven rebounds and two blocks.

Memphis' win bumped their record up to 10-3. As for FAU, their loss dropped their record down to 7-6.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Memphis hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 79.1 points per game. However, it's not like FAU struggles in that department as they've been averaging 84.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Memphis came up short against FAU in their previous matchup back in March of 2024, falling 92-84. Can Memphis avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
