For Tiger basketball fans, it’s manna from heaven. Pending final details, it appears Memphis will play arch-rival Louisville on the hardwood next season, the first meeting between the Tigers and Cardinals since the epic Conference USA championship game (The Darius Washington Game) on March 12, 2005. The teams’ next meeting will end the longest drought in a series that began on January 6, 1949.
The Tigers and Cardinals spent 10 seasons as members of Conference USA, playing a total of 16 games over that span. How many did Memphis win?
