In the opening round of the American Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament, UConn will be going up against the Tigers of Memphis. In their three game series from April 29-May 1, the Huskies took two of the three games. Their lone loss was a game that ended mid-comeback due to weather.
UConn goes into this afternoon's contest having won its last nine ballgames, while Memphis comes in lukewarm, winning three of its past six.
Jim Penders' lineup will be as follows:
- Jack Sundberg (CF)
- Willy Yahn (3B)

- Joe DeRoche-Duffin (RF)
- Bryan Daniello (SS)
- John Toppa (LF)
