SERIES HISTORY -- TIGERS VS UCF This is the 21st meeting between Memphis and UCF and the series is dead even at 10-10. It took a pair of Memphis wins in the series last year to get the series back to even. The Tigers won the first meeting in Orlando last season, 88-52, then hung on for a 62-53 win over the Knights in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. Memphis is 5-5 all time in games played in Orlando. The series has been all one-sided over the last three years. Memphis won both meetings in the 2011-12 season, then UCF won both in the 2012-13 season. The Tigers turned it back their way last season. Six times in the overall series, one of the two teams has swept the season meetings, three times apiece. HEARN NAMED TO AMERICAN WEEKLY HONOR ROLL Junior guard Ariel Hearn was named to the American Athletic Conference weekly honor roll after scoring 26 points in the overtime win over East Carolina, Sunday. Hearn passed the 1,200 career point mark in the ECU win and her 26 point effort was her 21st career 20-point game. She is the third Tiger to earn a spot on the conference’s weekly honor roll. Mooriah Rowser and Breigha Wilder-Cochran also have earned weekly honors from the American this season. GETTING THE ALL-IMPORTANT FIRST CONFERENCE WIN Head Coach Melissa McFerrin talked about how the East Carolina game would be a scrappy one, and it lived up to the billing. The two teams ended regulation tied at 49 points. Both teams struggled to shoot in the first half, with ECU shooting 22.9 percent and the Tigers shooting 28.1 percent. ECU righted the ship in the second half, shooting 40 percent and outscoring Memphis 29-22, but a foul on Brianna Wright with 0.1 left on the clock with the Pirates up 49-47 gave the Tigers a glimmer of hope. Wright, a 41.6 percent free-throw shooter heading in to the game, hit both foul shots and sent Memphis to its first overtime game since Jan. 14th last year. Neither team wanted an 0-3 start to the season, especially in light of the Tigers’ pending two-game road trip this week and ECU’s looking to host Tulane this week. The overtime win was the first for the Tigers since that Jan. 14th game last year when Memphis upend-

ed #23 Rutgers in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. FUQUA-BEY JOINS 500-500 CLUB Junior forward Asianna Fuqua-Bey grabbed eight rebounds in the win over East Carolina on Sunday afternoon. Those eight boards pushed her past 500 for her career, making her just the 25th player in Memphis’ 43-year women’s basketball history to have over 500 career points and 500 career rebounds. Fuqua-Bey is actually just 21 points away from her 600th career point heading in to the match-up at UCF, Wednesday night. HEARN MOVES TO 18TH ON TIGER SCORING CHART Junior guard Ariel Hearn moved to 18th on the Memphis career scoring chart against Temple. She heads in to the game at UCF with 1,223 career points. She is 76 points shy of moving to 17th all-time, where Victoria Crawford’s mark (2002-05) of 1,299 points sits. Her 26 point night against ECU was the 21st 20-point plus game of her Memphis career and was her first 20-plus point game since scoring 20 or more in three straight games (Minnesota, Southern Illinois, UALR). FIRST START FOR HOLMES Freshman guard Amber Holmes, who missed her entire senior season of high school ball due to a knee injury, made her first collegiate start in the win over East Carolina. In 13 minutes against a pressing Pirate defense, the freshman finished with two assists against one turnover, with a steal and a rebound. With Breigha Wilder-Cochran missing the ECU game with a hand injury, the Tigers used Holmes at the point in order to give Ariel Hearn opportunities at the two-guard spot. LOOKING TO GET OFFENSE BACK ON TRACK The Tigers scored 79 points in their season opener and it seemed like scoring would be a major strength of the team’s this season. But as the scouting reports became more defined, the Tigers’ scoring output dropped. The Tigers have not scored 65 or more points in any of their last eight games and have passed the 65 point mark just two times this season (they are 1-1 when scoring more than 65 points). BUILDING OFF TOUGH NON-CONFERENCE SLATE Memphis has a 20-win season and a post-season bid as a team goal this year. And the Tigers’ have been well-tested to date, having already faced six teams in the top 100 in the latest NCAA RPI Report. In all, Memphis will play 11 games this season against teams currently ranked in the top 100. RPI..........................................................

Part of the defensive ranking may come from the amount of zone the Tigers

have played this year. Memphis has been out-rebounded in 10 of 14 games so far this season and is an even 5-5 when getting fewer missed shots than their opponents. They are 2-2 when getting more rebounds than their opponents. WILLIAMS TIES CAREER HIGH IN THIRD START OF THE SEASON Sophomore guard Taylor Williams tied a careerhigh with her nine-rebound effort in the win over East Carolina, Sunday. Williams scored six of Memphis’ first eight points in the game and played in a careerhigh 36 minutes in the win before fouling out in the overtime session. Of her nine rebounds, five came off the offensive glass. WILDER-COCHRAN ADDS ANOTHER MULTISTEAL GAME Sophomore guard Breigha Wilder-Cochran serves as the Tigers’ primary on-ball defender and had a strong day defensively, Wednesday at USF. She grabbed four steals in the loss, her fifth multi-steal game of the season and her second in as many conference games. Memphis is waiting for the sophomore to break through on the other side of the ball. She is 2-for-14 in the last three games, including an 0-for-3 stretch in the conference opener against Temple in our last game at the Fieldhouse. HEARN DOUBLE-DIGIT STREAK SNAPPED Ariel Hearn had scored double-digit points in 10 straight games heading in to the conference road opener at USF. But the junior was held to her lowest scoring total of the season in the loss at USF as she battled foul trouble, finishing with five points. The five points is the fewest scored by Hearn since a three-point outing last season against SMU. .She has scored 20 or more points in 20 career games at Memphis. DOUBLE-DOUBLE FOR WRIGHT With the Tigers’ guards struggling to score, Memphis looked to its posts for some offensive help in the Temple game. Junior forward Brianna Wright stepped up with a season-best 18 points on 8-for-13 shooting. She also added 14 rebounds for her third double-double of the season and her fifth double-digit rebounding night.

(12/28/14) MEMPHIS FINISHES FALL SEMESTER IN A FLOURISH IN THE CLASSROOM The Tigers had a strong finish to the fall semester. Six players finished with a GPA of 3.0 or higher during the semester (Cheyenne Creighton, Asianna FuquaBey, Ariel Hearn, Amber Holmes, Mooriah Rowser, Brianna Wright) and freshman Amber Holmes posted the highest team GPA of the fall at 3.87. The Tigers’ fall team GPA was 3.087. CUTTING DOWN ON TURNS Memphis is struggling with turnovers in the early part of the season. Only three Tigers have more assists than turnovers (Breigha Wilder-Cochran 28 vs. 24 Amber Holmes 5 vs. 4 and Taylor Williams 15 vs. 13). For the first time in her three-year career, Ariel Hearn has more turnovers than assists (37 vs. 41) and the Tigers’ starting posts (Fuqua-Bey and Wright) have combined for 32 assists against 57 turnovers). The Tigers rank No. 223 in the country in assist-toturnover ratio (0.7) and don’t have anyone listed in the top 250 in the country in assists per game or assists turnover ratio. GETTING OVER THE HUMP IN CLOSE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
GAMES A young Tiger squad is still learning how to pull out close games. Of the Tigers’ seven losses, five have been by single digits, including the one-point loss to Temple on Sunday. Those five Memphis single digit losses have added up to a combined 23 points. Memphis is 2-5 in single-digit games. The Tigers’ last win by single digits? The 62-61 win over Central Michigan.

DOUBLE DOUBLE-DIGIT REBOUNDING The Temple game marked the second time this year that the Tigers have had two players post double-digit rebounds. In addition to Brianna Wright’s 14 rebounds against Temple, Asianna Fuqua-Bey added 12 rebounds, her second consecutive double-digit rebounding night of the season. The last time Memphis had two players with double digit rebounds before the Temple game? Another game where Memphis had a halftime lead, but lost -- Minnesota.
ANOTHER NON-CONFERENCE MARK OVER .500 FOR MCFERRIN’S TIGERS Memphis has never finished under .500 in league play since McFerrin took over prior to the 2008-09 season (including post-season tournaments) and the Tigers took a step toward making that a seventh straight occurrence by closing regular season nonconference play with a 6-5 mark. Memphis Non-Conference Record Under McFerrin 2014-15: 6-5 2013-14: 7-6 2012-13: 9-7 2011-12: 12-5 2010-11: 13-5 2009-10: 10-8 2008-09: 7-7 FUQUA-BEY LOOKING FOR DOUBLE DIGITS Asianna Fuqua-Bey has worked hard on becoming a force for the Tigers’ offense. In the last five games, she has been Memphis’ second-leading scorer with 10.4 ppg and is 21-for-40 (52.5) from the field. She also has the second-highest number of free-throw attempts in the last five games, knocking down 10-of13 shots (76.9) to help Memphis to a 4-1 record in its last five outings of the non-conference slate. WILDER-COCHRAN NAMED TO HONOR ROLL Sophomore point guard Breigha Wilder-Cochran was named to the American weekly honor roll after the win at Georgetown. Wilder-Cochran scored 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting and tied a career-high with five steals for the second time in three games. She is the second Tiger this season to earn a spot on the weekly honor roll, joining Mooriah Rowser. CAREER NIGHT FOR HEARN Junior guard Ariel Hearn scored a career-best 28 points in the loss to Minnesota. 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 alltime 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 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

ROWSER GOES FOR 20 Redshirt sophomore guard Mooriah Rowser had a strong start to her season against Missouri State. Rowser led Memphis with 21 points, her fourth career 20plus 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).
