Memphis has a winning record on the road and has won four of six. Memphis has an excellent offense, second in the American Conference in scoring. Their defense is sixth in scoring allowed and field goal shooting. Memphis is 4-1 ATS in Sunday games while their opponent, the Cincinnati Bearcats, are 8-33 ATS on Sunday. Memphis is 33rd in the nation in rebounds and comes off an impressive win at the defending champs, a 54-53 win as a +7 dog. Shaq Goodwin hit a short fall-away jumper that rattled around the rim before falling with eight seconds left to give the Tigers the win. The win moves Memphis into a tie with UConn for fifth place in the American Athletic Conference. The top five seeds get first-round byes in next week's AAC tournament, and Memphis holds a tiebreaker over UConn after sweeping the season series. This shapes up as a close game, and note that the Memphis Tigers are 7-3-1 ATS against Cincy. It's a low total, too, and the OVER is 6-0 in the last six meetings in Cincinnati. Play Memphis and the game OVER the total.
