IRVING, Texas - Tiger Nation filled in a portion of its 2007-08 basketball schedule a little over month ago with the release of the University of Memphis' non-league slate. Now, the remainder of the fans' weekly planners can be booked as the Conference USA office announced the league schedules Thursday.
Only the C-USA dates are available, as game times and television will be released later. Two C-USA games versus UTEP Feb. 2 and UAB Mar. 8 are doubleheaders with the Grizzlies.
The Tigers tip off defense of their 2006-07 C-USA regular season title at FedExForum Jan. 9 versus East Carolina. In addition to the C-USA home opener, Memphis hosts seven other league contests and has a four-game homestand from Feb. 2-13. Included in that four-game home stretch are visits from UTEP Feb. 2, SMU Feb. 6, UCF Feb. 9 and Houston Feb. 13. The Feb. 2 UTEP contest is the first regular-season homecoming for former Tiger staff members Tony Barbee and Milt Wagner.
The Tigers' other three home C-USA dates are Jan. 19 versus Southern Miss, Feb. 27 versus Tulsa and Mar. 8 versus UAB. The contest against the Blazers is the regular season finale.
Memphis opens its conference road schedule at Marshall Jan. 12 followed by a second-straight road game at Rice Jan. 16. The Tigers have two additional two-game road trips with a back-to-back at UAB (Feb. 16) and Tulane (Feb. 20) in February and another in March at Southern Miss (Mar. 1) and SMU (Mar. 5).
The Tigers' other two league road games are at Tulsa Jan. 23 and at Houston Jan. 30.
The 2008 Conference USA Tournament is slated for Mar. 12-15 at FedExForum.
