The top-seeded Memphis Tigers (26-5) are set to face the No. 8 seed Wichita State Shockers (19-13) in the AAC Tournament on Friday at Dickies Arena.
Wichita State has experienced a rollercoaster season filled with both impressive highs and frustrating lows. The Shockers got off to a strong start, winning 10 of their first 13 games with losses coming against Florida, DePaul, and Kansas City. However, they hit a rough patch, dropping seven of their next eight contests—managing only a lone victory over Charlotte while falling to Temple, South Florida, UTSA, East Carolina, Memphis, Tulsa, and North Texas. They rebounded with notable wins over Charlotte, USF, UTSA, Memphis, FAU, and Tulane before going 2-3 in their last five regular-season games, securing wins over Rice and USF but suffering defeats to UAB, North Texas, and Tulsa. That stretch brings their season record to 19-13 through 32 games.
Meanwhile, Memphis has been one of the AAC's most consistent teams, suffering only a handful of losses along the way. The Tigers opened the season with a 9-3 mark, with setbacks against Auburn, Arkansas State, and Mississippi State. They then found their groove, picking up key wins over Ole Miss, FAU, North Texas, and East Carolina before stumbling against Temple. Since that loss, Memphis has been dominant, dropping just one more game—to Wichita State—while racking up wins against Charlotte, Wichita State, UAB, Tulane, Rice, Tulsa, Temple, USF, FAU, Rice, UAB, UTSA, and USF. Their current 26-5 record through 31 games puts them in a prime position entering the tournament.
