TTT Answer

The Tigers and Louisville Cardinals spent 10 seasons as members of Conference USA, playing a total of 16 games over that span. How many did Memphis win?

The Tigers beat Louisville eight times between 1995 and 2005. (John Calipari was 4-4 against Rick Pitino.) Overall, Louisville holds a big lead in the series, 51-34. The edge comes primarily from Louisville winning 13 of the first 15 meetings, between 1949 and 1970.
