Memphis continues to roll, having won fourteen straight and 25 of 27 on the year. They get lowly Tulsa here and as a result, are laying a ridiculous 24 points. The Golden Hurricane started the year horribly but they have won three of their last four games to move to a respectable 5-6 in league play. Memphis hasonly covered 5 of their last 14 lined games and they are due for a letdown here. How can they get up for Tulsa, especially after winning their last three games 66-56, 105-65 and 80-41? Under Calipari, Memphis is 5-17 ATS following 3 straight wins by 10+ points. And, after 4 straight wins by double digits, they are 0-6 under J.C. Underdogs of 20 or more points that have been outscored by their opponents by 4+ points/game are 48-21 (70%) following a game in which they held their opponent to 60 or less points (Tulsa held SMU to 56 last game). Memphis is awesome but this is too many points against an improving Tulsa squad and we'll back the Golden Hurricane for three stars here.
