MEMPHIS - The University of Memphis men's basketball game with Marquette is slated for Friday with a 6 p.m. tip-off.

The U of M's ticket stock, schedule cards and posters were all printed before the game was moved from Feb. 3 in an effort to televise the game on ESPN.

As of late Monday afternoon the Memphis athletic ticket office had just over 200 tickets available for Friday night's game. The Tigers, 12-8 and 6-1 in Conference USA, have won their last eight games and will play host to Marquette team which enters the week leading the American Division.
