The Memphis Tigers basketball team will play host to No. 10 Louisville for the first time since 2014.
The Cardinals will travel to FedExForum for a 12 p.m. tipoff on Sunday (ESPN). Louisville (2-0) entered this season with one of the top NCAA transfer portal classes in the country. It started the year with a 14-point win against Chattanooga and a 50-point win against Morehead State.
The Tigers (2-1) had two impressive wins against Iowa State and VCU, but suffered a 105-81 loss Tuesday at No. 22 Vanderbilt. They’ll look to bounce back in what is expected to be one of the most anticipated home games of the season for Memphis.
