UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

SERIES HISTORY -- 17TH MEETING This is the 17th meeting between Memphis and SIU. The Tigers lead the overall series 12-4, but the two teams have not met since the 1998-99 season. Memphis won that last meeting 84-67, but is just 2-2 in the series history in games played in Carbondale. FAMILIAR FACES Memphis head coach Melissa McFerrin and Southern Illinois head coach Cindy Stein have some familiar roots. McFerrin knows Stein from her time at the University of Missouri, McFerrin’s alma mater. FOUR IN A ROW FOR ROWSER Redshirt sophomore guard Mooriah Rowser is on a career-high four-game double-digit scoring streak heading in to Wednesday night’s game at Southern Illinois. Rowser continues to lead Memphis in scoring with 18.0 ppg just two seasons removed from ACL surgery that cost her all but three games in her true freshman season. ACTUALLY 11 IN A ROW FOR ROWSER Mooriah Rowser is leading the team in free-throw attempts, which is a good thing since she is shooting 86.4 percent from the stripe so far this year. Heading in to the Southern Illinois game, she has knocked down 11 consecutive free-throws. Her last miss at the stripe was with 16:40 left in the second half against Samford (11/16/14). CAREER NIGHT FOR HEARN Junior guard Ariel Hearn scored a career-best 28 points in the loss to Minnesota, Sunday. Hearn tied a school record by knocking down seven three-point field goals in that game. She now shares that record with former Tigers Alex Winchell (Feb. 20, 2011) and LaTonya Johnson (Jan. 17, 1997). With the seven makes from three-point range on Sunday, Hearn now has 108 career three-point field goals made. She needs 23 more to move up to a tie for 8th on the all-time career list at Memphis. The 28-point effort give Hearn 1,058 career points. That moved her past Terri Galloway (1,046 points) and to 21st in career scoring at Memphis. She needs 13 more points to tie Devin Necaise (1,071) for 20th all-time in scoring. DOUBLE DIGIT REBOUNDS FOR PAIR OF TIGERS Asianna Fuqua-Bey and Brianna Wright each grabbed 13 rebounds in the loss to Minnesota. Fuqua-Bey had 10 offensive rebounds in the game on Sunday, becoming just the ninth player in school history to grab 10 offensive rebounds in a game. She is the first Tiger since Jasmine Lee to grab double-digit offensive rebounds in a game. Double Digit Offensive Rebounds in a Game 12 - Diana Gray vs. McNeese State, Dec. 2, 1989 12 - Glynetha Davis vs. Virginia Tech, Jan. 11, 1989 11 - Jasmine Lee vs. Chattanooga, Mar. 15, 2012 11 - Keeta Matthews vs. DePaul, Feb. 19, 1995 11 - Keeta Matthews vs. UT Martin, Dec. 1, 1993 10 - Asia Fuqua-Bey vs. Minnesota, Nov. 23, 2014 10 - Jasmine Lee vs. East Carolina, Jan. 15, 2012 10 - Paris Leonard vs. Austin Peay, Nov. 25, 2005 10 - Connie Hibbler vs. Florida State, Jan. 26, 1987 TIGERS STILL LOOK FOR FIRST ROAD WIN ; FALL IN ROAD OPENER Memphis fell in its road opener at Illinois Thursday night, 60-58. That dropped Memphis to 4-3 in road openers under Melissa McFerrin. The Tigers are 0-1 on the road heading in to the Southern Illinois game. FUQUA-BEY LOOKING FOR 500TH POINT Junior forward Asianna Fuqua-Bey is just 11 points away from her 500th career point. She is looking to become a member of the 500-500 club. She has 489 career points and 434 career rebounds heading in to the Southern Illinois game. She would be the 25th player in Memphis history

to have both 500 points and 500 rebounds. The last Tiger to pass both plateaus was Jasmine Lee (610 rebounds, 910 points). FINDING POINTS OFF THE BENCH Memphis is trying to blend six newcomers in with six returnees. The Tigers’ starting lineup is pretty set, as Memphis as used the same starting five in all four games. But finding some points off the bench is a challenge in the early going. Taylor Williams scored 16 points in the seasonopener, but hasn’t hit double-digit scoring since and the Tiger bench has been out-scored in three of the first four games this year, including a 7-3 deficit in bench scoring in the loss to Minnesota. ROWSER NAMED TO AMERICAN HONOR ROLL Redshirt sophomore guard Mooriah Rowser was named to the American Athletic Conference weekly honor roll after leading Memphis in scoring last week in a pair of wins. Rowser is averaging 19.5 ppg and is shooting 38.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range in the early going. She is also the team’s leading free-throw attempts leader, going 12-for-15 (80.0 percent) in the early going. HEARN HITS 1,000TH CAREER POINT AND 100TH CAREER TRIPLE Junior guard Ariel Hearn opened her 2014-15 scoring line with a pair of three point field goals in the first half against Missouri State. The second triple pushed her past the 1,000 career point mark, making her the 23rd player in school history to score a grand or more. She added a pair of threes in the second half, which gave her the 100th triple of her three-year Tiger career. She is just the ninth player in school history to connect on 100 career threes. Getting to her 1,000th career point in her 64th career game means that Hearn was the fifth-fastest in Memphis history to get to the 1,000 career point mark. She tied the mark set by Tamika Whitmore, who went on to become the second Memphis women’s basketball player drafted in to the WNBA, earning WNBA All-Star honors while she played in Indiana. Fastest to 1,000 Career Points LaTonya Johnson -- 54 games Keeta Matthews -- 55 games Brittany Carter -- 60 games Kitty Allen -- 62 games Ariel Hearn -- 64 games Tamika Whitmore -- 64 games DOUBLE-DOUBLE FOR WRIGHT IN CAREER OPENER Junior forward Brianna Wright posted a doubledouble in her first career game at Memphis. Playing 34 minutes, she finished with 11 points and 16 rebounds and was 5-for-6 from the field. Wright also added three assists and two steals in the seasonopening win. That marked the second straight season Memphis has had a player post a double-double in the opener. Last year, Pa’Sonna Hope posted a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds in the overtime win over East Tennessee State. ROWSER GOES FOR 20 Redshirt sophomore guard Mooriah Rowser had a strong start to her season. Rowser led Memphis with 21 points, her fourth career 20-plus point game. This marks the second time in three seasons Rowser has started the season with a 20-plus point performance. In her true freshman season, she scored 24 points against Grambling State in her first college game, but two games later, suffered a knee injury that cost her the rest of that season. She posted a pair of 20-plus point performances last year (21 against Texas A&M and 20 at Louisville). WILLIAMS ADDS SCORING PUNCH FROM BENCH; SETS CAREER HIGH IN FIRST GAME

HEAD COACH MELISSA McFERRIN

Melissa McFerrin

7th Season at Memphis

At Memphis: 110-88 (.556) Career: 160-158 (.503)

McFERRIN’S RECORD BY OPPONENT

Melissa McFerrin was named the University of Memphis women’s basketball coach on April 19th, 2008, becoming the fourth coach in the program’s modern history. McFerrin, the 2008 Patriot League Coach of the Year, spent four seasons at American University in Washington D.C. Her 2007 American team advanced to the Patriot League championship game and her 2008 squad won the school’s first-ever Patriot League regular season championship, finishing with an 18-14 overall record. That team won 11 of 12 games down the stretch, advancing to the post season for the first time since 1997-98 with a WNIT bid. In four seasons at American, McFerrin compiled a 50-70 record and guided five different players to all-conference honors, while two other players earned all-freshman honors. Prior to her stint with American, McFerrin was an associate head coach at the University of Minnesota from 2002-2004. She helped Minnesota to a 50-15 record, including an NCAA Final Four appearance in 2004 and a Sweet Sixteen berth in 2003. She signed two recruiting classes ranked in the top 20 at Minnesota, and helped guide two Kodak All-Americans, including WNBA player Lindsey

Whalen. McFerrin’s time at Minnesota came after a five-year association with the WNBA. She began her affiliation with the WNBA as an assistant coach with the New York Liberty from 1997-1999, assisting with coaching duties for the 1997 WNBA Championship runner-up Liberty squad. She moved to the Washington Mystics as an assistant coach in 1999-2000, taking over as the Mystics’ General Manager in 2000. As the GM, she guided a team that made its first-ever WNBA play-off appearance in 2000, and handled all player trades and draft decisions before joining the coaching staff at Minnesota. Her WNBA stint followed a 14-year coaching career that made three different stops. McFerrin began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Wayland Baptist University in Texas from 1983-84. She was then hired as an assistant coach at Central Michigan University, where she helped the Chippewas to a 95-77 record in her six seasons, including a 1985 Mid-American Conference championship. She left Central Michigan in 1990 to become an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at The Ohio State University. At Ohio State, she helped the Buckeyes to a 118-90 record and a 1993 Big Ten championship and an NCAA National Championship runner-up. That 1993 squad benefited from a 1992 McFerrin recruiting class that was ranked No. 1 in the nation, one of seven Buckeye recruiting classes to be nationallyranked under McFerrin’s watch at OSU. In 1996, McFerrin helped guide the Buckeyes to the NCAA Second Round before leaving the following season for the WNBA. A native of Cassville, Mo., McFerrin was a four-year letterwinner and starting point guard for the University of Missouri Tigers from 1979 to 1983. She helped Missouri to a 1983 Big Eight tournament championship and NCAA tournament berth and a 1982 NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance, earning Big Eight honorable mention honors and Scholar-Athlete awards along the way. She graduated cum laude with a degree in secondary education from Missouri in 1983, and received her master’s degree in physical education from Central Michigan in 1988.

Sophomore guard Taylor Williams scored a careerbest 16 points off the bench in the Friday win over Missouri State. The Bears had cut what had been a 10-point Memphis lead to just three at 63-60 when Williams drained a corner three and converted the and-one with under four minutes to play, starting a 16-1 Memphis run that put the game away. Memphis needed the points off the bench, as the Tiger bench was actually out-scored by Missouri State, 33-24. TRIO OF FRESHMEN SCORE FIRST COLLEGE POINTS Three of Memphis’ five new freshmen played on Friday against Missouri State. All three scored a bucket to start their college scoring columns out. Amber Holmes, Damonique Miller and Cheyenne Creighton all scored a bucket in the win over Missouri State. Brianna Wright also scored in her first Memphis career game, finishing with 11 points. TIGERS PICKED SIXTH Memphis was picked to finish sixth in the 11-team American Athletic Conference preseason coaches’ poll. Defending national champion UConn was picked to win the league, followed by USF, a team that went to the WNIT semifinals last year. League newcomers East Carolina were picked to finish third with Temple and Tulane tied for fourth in the coaches’ poll ahead of Memphis. Ariel Hearn was named pre-season first team allconference by the league coaches. FUQUA-BEY EARNS PRESEASON HONOR Junior forward Asianna Fuqua-Bey and teammate Ariel Hearn were each named to the CollegeSportsMadness.com’s American Athletic Conference preseason teams. Hearn was a second team honoree and Fuqua-Bey was a fourth team honoree on the online outlet’s list. NO SENIOR DISCOUNTS For a second straight season, Memphis is putting a young team on the floor. But unlike last year when the team had an assortment of transfers and junior college grads making up a senior class, this year’s roster does not have a single senior on it. SIX NEW FACES With no seniors on the roster, Memphis will add six new faces to the blue and gray this year, including junior college transfer Brianna Wright, who led Chipola JC to the Juco Championship semifinals last year. Alisha Celestine, Cheyenne Creighton, Brea Elmore, Amber Holmes and Damonique Miller make up a fiveplayer freshman class for Memphis.

WILDER-COCHRAN SETS FRESHMAN ASSIST RECORD Freshman point guard Breigha Wilder-Cochran broke Ariel Hearn’s freshman assist record last season. Wilder-Cochran finished the season with 125 total assists and ranked third in The American with 4.0 assists per game. The 125 assists in a single season is impressive, and to put that in perspective, Wilder-Cochran was just 20 assists shy of breaking in to the single season top 10 at Memphis in single season assists. SPEAKING OF TRIPLE DIGIT ASSISTS Last year marked the first time a Melissa McFerrincoached Memphis team has had two players with 100 or more assists (Wilder-Cochran with 125, Hearn with 109). It’s actually the first time since 1997-98 that a Memphis team has had two players with 100 or more assists in the same season (Yolanda Reed, 141, and Heather Phillips, 105). Hearn’s 109 assists last year ranked sixth all-time in the sophomore records. Hearn is 108 assists away from breaking in to the career top 10 at Memphis in assists, where Kitty Allen

UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

sits with 326 assists.

RECORD BREAKDOWN

GOING LONG? Memphis returns its top two three-point shooters from last season. Ariel Hearn led Memphis with 69 three-point field goals made and ranked in the top five in the American Athletic Conference in both three-point field goal percentage (37.3) and threepoint field goals made (2.2). Her 69 triples last year missed tying the single season school record by just one. Alex Winchell’s record of 70 triples in a season withstood Hearn knocking down five threes in the conference tournament loss to Houston last year. For her career, Hearn is four threes shy of her 100th career triple. When she passes the 100 career three-point field goal mark, she will become just the ninth player in Memphis history to score 100 or more field goals from beyond the arc. Hearn is currently ninth in career three-point field goals made (96). The team’s second-leading three-point shooter last year was Taylor Williams. Williams knocked down 30.8 percent of her shots from beyond the arc (24for-78) and was one of the Tigers’ stronger rebounding guards, finishing with 103 rebounds in 31 games. FUQUA-BEY GETTING OFFENSIVE Junior forward Asia Fuqua-Bey has been challenged by the Tigers’ staff to become more of an offensive threat. Already a solid defender and rebounder, the junior is looking for another 29 points to hit the 500 career point mark. She will also likely pass the 500 career rebound mark this season, as she grabbed 406 rebounds in her first two seasons at Memphis. When she passes the 500 career rebound mark, she will be one of just 21 Tigers in school history to grab 500 or more career rebounds. She currently stands 28th in the school record book with 406 career caroms. Her 6.4 rebound per game career average ranks 15th in career rebounding average.
