Memphis Tigers to host LeMoyne-Owen in Exhibitiion Wednesday

The University of Memphis squad (0-0, 0-0 C-USA), ranked No. 19 in both preseason national polls, opens its 2010-11 exhibition season with a home contest versus LeMoyne-Owen College (0-0, 0-0 SIAC) on Wednesday, Nov. 3. Game time is 7 p.m. (CT) at FedExForum.

Memphis, picked to reclaim the Conference USA crown in most preseason publications and websites, returns three starters and six letterwinners from last year's squad that won 24 games (24-10 record) and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) second round. The Tigers finished second in the Conference USA regular season standings (13-3 league mark) and reached the quarterfinals of the C-USA Tournament.

Wednesday's exhibition is LeMoyne-Owen's first of 2010-11. The Magicians travel to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for their second exhibition against the Razorbacks.
