University of Memphis Releases 2013-14 Women's Basketball Schedule

Three appearances on ESPNU and eight games against five different teams that made the 2013 NCAA tournament highlight the University of Memphis women’s basketball team’s first-ever American Athletic Conference schedule released, Wednesday.



Memphis will appear on ESPNU in road games at Louisville (Jan. 26) and Temple (Feb. 9) and will host Louisville in a home game on ESPNU (Feb. 16). The three appearances on one of the ESPN networks mark the first Tigers’ appearance on the network since 2001 and marks the first season the Tigers will have multiple games played on an ESPN channel.

The Tigers will play eight regular season games against five teams that appeared in the 2013 NCAA tournament, including home-and-home contests against both teams from the 2013 NCAA Championship game, Connecticut and Louisville, and a home-and-home conference series against USF, an NCAA second round participant last season. In non-conference play, Memphis will face Texas A&M and Syracuse (both NCAA teams) and will play two non-conference road games at foes who appeared in their respective conference’s tournament championship games (at UALR, Nov. 22, and at Tennessee Tech, Dec. 14).

“This is probably the most challenging schedule in our history of Memphis women’s basketball,” Head Coach Melissa McFerrin said. “But with that challenge, also comes great opportunity. It gives us an opportunity to show our young team what the elite of women’s basketball looks like, and over time, we will rise to meet that challenge.”

Journey to Memphis' Next Top Baller Episode 17

We finished up the last training session for August on Monday.

Monday's development session felt special to me. It was special because the training went from being about basketball to being beyond basketball.

There were 15 young ladies in the gym ranging from my 6 year old niece to 10th graders. The players were having fun competing, they were assisting each other during the drills, and they were encouraging each other.

Speaking of my 6 year old niece...Before each training session begins, I have the young ladies introduce themselves to the group of players. It's an opportunity for the players to learn each others name but also an early introduction to public speaking. My niece always hides behind me during this time. Well on yesterday, she was the first one ready to introduce herself. I'm so proud of her!

In the video, you will see a drill I used to work on speed, defensive slide and back pedaling. This drill got pretty competitive on Monday because the players were racing against each other. The last drill in the video is call line jumps. It helps the plays develop feet quickness. Check it out!



My trainings will be held on Mondays in September. If you have plans to try out for the school team this year or have an interest in working on development or your game for the upcoming season, learn more about my skill development sessions at http://www.girlsbasketballtrainer.com/miniregistration.htm.

Also don't forget that the Memphis Girls Basketball Fall Fest will kick off on September 7 with the Fall Exposure League.
