Memphis women's basketball to host Louisville at FedExForum in 2024-25

The Memphis women's basketball team will host a non-conference game against Louisville at FedExForum in 2024-25, the program announced Tuesday.

The former conference mates will square off on Dec. 21, as part of a basketball doubleheader with Penny Hardaway's Tigers, who are scheduled to face Mississippi State the same day. Tip-off time for the Tigers-Cardinals game has not been announced.

Memphis and Louisville have not met in women's basketball since February 2014. That game was also the last time Louisville played a road game at Memphis. They faced off twice that season after having not met since 2006. The Tigers lead the all-time series 24-22.
