History

The first inter-school game of the Memphis Tigers (then West Tennessee State Normal School) was a 24–0 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.

The team has competed in the NCAA tournament seven times., the WNIT five times, the National Women's Invitational tournament one time and the Women's Basketball Invitational one time.

Jamirah Shutes, a senior guard on the 2022–23 Memphis women’s basketball team, initially pled not guilty to an assault charge after she was accused of punching a Bowling Green player in the face following the Memphis Tigers' loss in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) on March 24, 2023, officials confirmed. She later changed her plea and was found guilty and her sentence included anger management.
