Memphis is loaded with young talent, but the problem with young talent is that it takes time for them to learn to play with all that talent and to play within themselves. Memphis hasn't found that yet as they take bad shots and turn the ball over way too much going for spectacular plays instead of safe plays. Alabama is just the opposite, they are playing with a ton of confidence right now. They were able to score 91 against Gonzaga in a win and outlasted Houston. Alabama shoots well from the field and plays the type of defense that will cause a turnover-prone Memphis team problems all game long. I have had a lot of faith in Memphis but they have beaten it out of me. Until they show they can take better shots and not turn the ball over, I have to go with the better offensive and defensive team.

Play on Alabama. This is a 10* play.
