Preview: Wisconsin Herd at Memphis Hustle

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking to halt lengthy slides will meet when the Wisconsin Herd visits the Memphis Hustle in a G League matchup on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, at the DeSoto Civic Center.

Both clubs enter with identical 11-win records and the two worst marks in the league. The Herd (11-26) have lost seven consecutive games, while the Hustle (11-25) have dropped four of their last five.

The game will feature two of the league’s most consistent performers in recent weeks. Wisconsin forward Cormac Ryan has been a bright spot during the skid, averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists over his last seven contests. He is coming off a 23-point, 8-rebound effort in a 129-104 loss to Greensboro on Saturday.

For Memphis, guard DeJon Jarreau has been on a tear, averaging 21.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists over his last five games. He posted 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a narrow 102-97 road loss to Austin on Sunday.

The Herd’s defense has been a primary concern, allowing an average of 117.1 points during their seven-game losing streak. They will face a Hustle offense that, despite recent losses, has scored 108 or more points in four of its last five outings.

Memphis won the only prior meeting this season, 120-109, in Wisconsin on Jan. 10. The teams will complete a back-to-back set at the same venue on Friday.

Thursday’s contest is the start of a three-game road trip for Wisconsin. Memphis begins a stretch of four home games in its next five.
