This is an 8* on MEMPHIS

While it may be “too little, too late” (to get into the NCAA Tournament), Memphis is making a late run at things. Penny Hardaway’s team has won seven of its last eight (only loss by 2 points) and four straight to get to 13-6 on the year. The Tigers are also 7-1 ATS their last eight after being 0-7 ATS their previous seven games. Today they are locking horns with Cincinnati, who has won six of its last seven. So we’ve got two relatively “hot” teams here, yet the one playing on the road is the favorite. That should tell you “all you need to know” about this one. The Bearcats are 0-9 ATS their last nine Sunday games including a 38-point loss at Houston last week. Before they beat Tulane 91-71 on Friday, Cincy’s previous five wins were all by three points or less, so they’ve been lucky. Memphis is #2 in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency as it is holding opponents to 26.6% shooting - for the year - on three-point attempts. The Bearcats third leading scorer David DeJulius just opted out for the rest of the season. Play on MEMPHIS
