"Memphis Basketball's Rise: Top-25 Matchup, Résumé Building, and NCAA Tournament Hopes"
The Memphis Tigers will host a rare top-25 matchup against the Virginia Cavaliers, marking the first time a ranked Memphis team has hosted a ranked opponent since 2014.

With a challenging non-league schedule, the Tigers have already proven they can compete with top teams. A win against Virginia would be their third Quadrant 1 victory and boost their tournament chances. The game is scheduled for 7 pm ET and will be televised on ESPN2.
