The University of Memphis women's basketball team had nine games selected to air on a digital network this season. Six games will air on the American Digital Network, including four road games. Three games, including a pair of home games, will air on ESPN3. In all, Memphis will have 12 regular season games broadcast on either television or a digital platform.

Memphis, in its second season in the American Athletic Conference, will open its conference home slate with a televised ESPNU game against Temple (Dec. 28).

The Tigers will then have six of their eight games in January carried on a digital platform. Memphis will air on ESPN3 three times in January, including a road game at UCF (Jan. 7) and a pair of home games (Jan. 14 vs. Cincinnati and Jan. 31 vs. USF).

The American Digital Network will carry three other Memphis games in January, including a home game against Houston (Jan. 24) and a pair of road contests (at Tulsa, Jan. 10 and at Cincinnati, Jan. 28).

Five of seven Memphis February games will be aired. The American Digital Network will carry two road games (at Temple, Feb. 4 and at Tulane Feb. 21) and will air a game from the Elma Roane Fieldhouse against Tulsa, Feb. 24th.

Two February games will be carried on traditional TV channels, including the Feb. 7th game against Connecticut at FedExForum and the Tigers' first trip to Storrs on Feb. 28th. The Feb. 28th game will be carried on CBS Sports Network.
