We are back to trolling for basketball games on the internet.

If you scroll down abour 5 posts below Cunningham's, Memphis is looking for a game on November 11th. Seems like an easy match to me, but I'm obviously just a fan with no scheduling experience...

I would assume it's because they don't want MSU to get any kind of recruiting footing in Memphis. Both Calapari and Pastner have said they don't care to play Tenn, Ark, or UM because they don't gain anything from it and the 3 of us get exposure with Memphis-area recruits by playing them. They never mention MSU, though. I'd think they might like playing y'all here and there, though, because they do recruit Mississippi some. Playing us in Oxford is essentially just outside their backyard so no real impact but playing down south further would get them exposed to Mississippi recruits a bit more, I'd think.

Seemingly it would be a good RPI game for both teams this year, too.
