The Memphis Tigers will play LSU in basketball next year in Tupelo, Memphis Athletic Director R.C. Johnson told Sports 56 WHBQ radio station.

BancorpSouth Arena Director Todd Hunt confirmed that the game will take place in November between the two schools. He said a date couldn't be released at this point.

"We were excited to bring this type of entertainment to Tupelo," Hunt said. "They came to us and it sounded like a great event. We're always talking to Mississippi State and Ole Miss about coming back and we will continue to. This is a great way to get college basketball to Tupelo."

Hunt said more information will be available in the future about tickets and the date.
