Tiger Trivia Tuesday

When the University of Memphis hosts the 2014 American Athletic Conference basketball tournament at FedExForum, Tiger fans may get one last chance to see their favorite team face arch-rival — and reigning national champion — Louisville in postseason play. (The Cardinals will join the ACC after the 2013-14 season.)

The last time Memphis and Louisville played each other with a conference tourney on the line was the epic Conference USA championship game in 2005 (the Darius Washington Game).

Three parts to this week’s question:

* As members of the Metro Conference from 1976 to 1991, what was the Tigers’ record against Louisville in tournament play?

* What was the Tigers’ record against Louisville in Metro championship contests?

* How often did the Tigers and Cardinals play each other for the Metro championship in Memphis?
