Thirteen of Memphis basketball’s 18 AAC games in the 2024-25 season will be televised on the ESPN family of networks, the league announced Wednesday.
Broadcast plans and tipoff times for the program’s non-conference games will be announced at a later date.
Penny Hardaway’s team fell to North Carolina 84-76 Tuesday in its first exhibition of the 2024-25 season. PJ Haggerty scored 24 points, while Colby Rogers and Nicholas Jourdain each put up 11.
“This game, to me, helps us out tremendously,” Hardaway said. “Because this is teaching tape for us, and it should light a fire into our guys like it does me to want to get better and understand where we need to get better. I learned a lot tonight and look forward to getting back to practice on Thursday.”
The Tigers’ final exhibition comes against Alabama (7 p.m., Oct. 28) at the Rocket City Classic in Huntsville, Alabama. The game at the Von Braun Center will air on ESPN+.
Memphis opens the regular season against Missouri (TBD, Nov. 4) at FedExForum.
