SMU at Memphis

Larry Brown has put his stamp on Southern Methodist in a 23-7 campaign. And it's not on offense but defense, #4 in the American in points allowed, tops in field goal shooting defense allowing .385% shooting by opponents. They also rank third at defending the three-pointer allowing 30% beyond the arc. SMU is on a 4-1 run under the total and the under is 7-3 in the Mustangs last 10 road games. Memphis can play good defense, too, 5th in the conference in points allowed and field goal shooting defense, 4th at defending the three. Expect them to get back to playing better defense after the last game, a 97-84 loss to Cincinnati. And the UNDER is 5-1 in the Tigers last six games following a loss. Play UNDER the total.
