AAC announces women's basketball home and away opponents
Jun 10, 2020 | Women's Basketball
The refreshed model remains at 16 league games
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The American Athletic Conference announced Wednesday afternoon the home and away women's basketball conference opponents for the 2020-21 season.
Â
Due to the league dropping from 12 to 11 teams with the departure of UConn, the conference has presented a refreshed matrix with efforts made to ensure teams do not go on the road to a one play opponent if they did so last season.
Â
The schedule remains at 16 games for the fifth consecutive season. Each team will play six of its 10 opponents twice and four opponents once each – two at home and two away.
Â
Memphis will welcome ECU and SMU in home-only contests while taking on UCF and USF on the road only. Cincinnati, Houston, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa and Wichita State are the scheduled home and away opponents for Memphis.
Â
The Tigers return over 87 percent of their scoring from last season. Guard Gazmyne Herndon was the lone senior on last year's squad and averaged 8.4 points per game.
Â
In addition to the return of Jamirah Shutes (15.2 ppg), Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu (12.2 ppg/8.6 rpg) and Madison Griggs (10.6 ppg), Memphis welcomes four newcomers to the 2020-21 team. The Tigers signed incoming freshmen Coriah Beck, Endya Buford and Callie Wright during the early signing period and added junior college transfer Jatyjia 'Tye' Jones in April.
Â
Prior to the addition of Jones, the 2020 class is ranked 31st-nationally per the All-Star Girls Report and first in the American Athletic Conference. The Tigers have had back-to-back top 35 recruiting classes with the addition of the 2020 class.
Â
The complete 2020-21 women's basketball with dates and times will be announced at a later date. To reserve your season tickets for the upcoming year, call the Memphis ticket office at 901-678-2331.
