The Memphis Tigers take on the VCU Rams in nonconference action. Memphis is 5-2 this season while VCU is 4-4. Memphis had started the season by winning five straight games but have lost two in a row since. They are led by David Jones with 18.4 points and 6.3 rebounds a game. Jahvon Quinerly adds 10.9 points and 4.6 assists. VCU has also struggled as of late, having lost three of their last four. They are led by Max Shulga with 16.0 points per game. Zeb Jackson adds 14.9 points and 4 assists. Both teams have struggled as of late losing a combined five out of the last six. Looking at KenPom, Memphis ranks 42nd and VCU is 103rd. Memphis’s last two losses came against tough competition. The Tigers are the more talented team. VCU is coming off a home loss to Norfolk State so you can’t say VCU has an imposing home-court advantage. Jones will cause VCU problems on both ends of the floor. I am looking at Memphis to come away with a win and cover.

Play on Memphis on the money line. This is a 3% play.
