This will be the first time that TCU Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker will be facing Memphis since leaving the program to become the head coach at TCU in the summer of 2014. Walker spent over a decade at Memphis as an assistant coach from 2003-07 and as the head coach from 2007-2014.
TCU is 1-1 all-time against Memphis, with the last match ending in a 4-3 loss for TCU at the hands of Walker and his team in his final season with the Tigers.
