Samford at Memphis

Bennie Seltzer has taken over the reigns at Samford and he inherits a team that went 11-19 a year ago with three returning starters. Samford has always played with a methodical style, but when facing a high octane explosive opponent that is a hard game plan to stick to. Things haven't changed much this year as the Bulldogs continue to struggle to find offense and their only win was against unheard of Martin Methodist. The telling story from that game is they managed just 59 points. Memphis is once agin one of the elite teams in the country and expected to win C-USA. Memphis is deep enough to not be exposed to a backdoor cover here as they had eight players tally eight or more points in the opener. Losing has bred losing for the Bulldogs who are now 12-27 ATS after a loss in their last 39. The Tigers are laying down the gauntlet at home vs. losing teams as they are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 against them. Play on Memphis.
