The Shockers have won three straight, but those victories came against teams with a combined conference record of 11-27. Memphis has played extremely well on its last three visits to Wichita, covering each. The Tigers played a terrible first half when these teams met in Memphis on Jan. 23 but still pulled out a 61-53 win. Memphis has won eight straight and will be out to prove a point after finding out it currently does not hold a Top-4 NCAA Tournament seed.

Spreads are finally dropping for Tigers - they win comfortable but just not comfortably enough. Just 3-8 ATS last 11 and 4-8 ATS in conference play, but they have won 12 of their last 13 and 9 of those wins are by 8 points or more. Won by 8 in the first meeting between these teams. They are 6-2 ATS when favored by 7 or less, and 5-4 ATS on road, not bad for a team that doesn't cover much. Tigers are +9.9 in conference and Shockers are -3. Shockers have not covered 5 straight at home and just 3-7-1 in conference and 4-11 ATS in their last 15. Memphis is a top 3 team in scoring and defense; WST avg just 69/G in conference.
