What to Know

The Memphis Tigers and the Ole Miss Rebels will round out the year against one another at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at at FedExForum. The Tigers are expected to win (but not by much) so they will need to come into the match prepared for a fight.

Last Saturday, Memphis came up short against Miss. State and fell 79-66.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was PJ Haggerty, who went 7 for 13 en route to 24 points plus two steals. Tyrese Hunter was another key player, scoring 19 points plus two steals.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss came tearing into Saturday's contest with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 25 points) and they left with even more momentum. The stars were shining brightly for them in an 80-62 victory over the Royals.

Sean Pedulla was the offensive standout of the game as he went 9 for 14 en route to 25 points plus four steals. Another player making a difference was Matthew Murrell, who scored ten points along with six rebounds.

Memphis' defeat dropped their record down to 9-3. As for Ole Miss, they pushed their record up to 11-1 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home.

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 78.4 points per game. However, it's not like Ole Miss struggles in that department as they've been averaging 81.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Memphis couldn't quite finish off Ole Miss when the teams last played back in December of 2023 and fell 80-77. Will Memphis have more luck at home instead of on the road?
