The Tigers are 6-16 to begin the 2026 campaign. Memphis are coming off a one-win series against Tulane but dropped the latter two games by five and 10 runs, respectively. Tuesday marks the second matchup between the Rebels and Tigers, with Ole Miss claiming a 7-1 victory earlier this month. Ole Miss hit three home runs, two of which came from Judd Utermark, who drove in five of the Rebel runs.

James Smith IV is second on the team in hits with 26. Him and Michael Gupton are Memphis' power hitters, knocking six home runs each so far this season. Freddy Rodriguez is a strength on the bases, as he's recorded 14 stolen bases on the year.
