Memphis Wins Championship, Rudy Gay All-Star Game Update, New Cooper Young Restaurant

Congratulations to the Memphis Tigers women's soccer program for having an undefeated regular season (21-0-1) and winning the Conference USA Championship. As a #4 seed, they will host Tennessee-Martin Saturday at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex at 7pm. The winner will move on to face the winner of Dayton and Louisville.

Tickets are still available for Rudy Gay's All-Star Game tonight at the DeSoto Civic Center. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Tyreke Evans, John Wall and more are expected to play. Proceeds from the game will benefit the Flight 22 Foundation, Gay's non-profit organization that raises funds for childhood education.

A new restaurant will be opening at the corner of Cooper and Young. Mulan Chinese Bistro will be opening the space that used to be the home of Blue Fish and The Reef. The restaurant will feature two styles of Chinese food, described as American-Chinese food and Szechuan-style food. Mulan should be open in the next few months. It's good to see another restaurant opening in the Cooper-Young area.
