Memphis Set for Three Sports Matchups

Memphis faces three opponents across its soccer, basketball and football programs. In women’s soccer, the top-seeded Tigers meet fourth-seeded Rice in the American Conference semifinals, with Memphis seeking to extend its eight-game winning streak in the series. The unbeaten Memphis men’s basketball team visits No. 22 Vanderbilt to complete a home-and-home series; both teams enter 2-0, while Vanderbilt guard Gabe Nesmith is sidelined by a leg injury. In football, Memphis visits South Florida after 12 days of preparation, while the Bulls are coming off a last-second loss to East Carolina and may still be without starting quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. Memphis’s high-powered offense, averaging 514 yards per game, contrasts with South Florida’s struggles moving the ball, giving the Tigers an advantage in the matchup.
