History

The first inter-school game of the Memphis Tigers (then West Tennessee State Normal School) was a 240 win over Whitehaven High School in 1914. The University dropped women's athletics in 1936 and did not return women's athletics to varsity sport status until the 1972-73 season[1].

The team has competed in the NCAA tournament seven times.[2], the WNIT five times[3], the National Women's Invitational tournament one time[4] and the Women's Basketball Invitational one time[5].
