The Memphis Tigers are set to travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a much‑anticipated showdown with the Dayton Flyers on November 29, a game that headlines the Atlantic 10/American Conference Showcase.
The contest will be played at Nationwide Arena, the same venue where Memphis fell to Florida Atlantic in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, adding a layer of redemption to the Tigers’ agenda.
A series steeped in history
Historically, the two programs have met 20 times, with Dayton holding a 12‑8 edge, a statistic that underscores the competitive balance heading into the new meeting.
Memphis enters the game after a solid performance in the National Invitation Tournament, a win that has bolstered confidence as the team prepares for a demanding slate that includes 14 non‑conference contests and 18 American Conference fixtures.
The first test of that schedule arrives just two days earlier, when the Tigers face Iowa State at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, before returning to Columbus for the Dayton clash.
The matchup is part of a doubleheader that also features games against Saint Louis and South Florida, a schedule designed to challenge the Tigers across multiple fronts.
