#825/826 ASA PLAY ON Under 147.5 Points - Wichita State vs Memphis, Friday at 1 PM ET - In their 2 meetings this season, these AAC foes totaled 114 and 142 (in regulation) and both games were under 70 possessions in regulation (one went to double OT). The teams dominated on the defensive end in those meetings with PPP numbers (efficiency) of 1.09, 1.03, 0.90, and 0.77. Both of these teams turn the ball over a lot (12th and 13th in the AAC in offensive turnover rate) and that leads to empty possessions. In fact, in their 2 meetings this season there were a whopping 60 combined turnovers. Memphis likes to play fast but it was obvious with the tempo results of the 2 games that Wichita wants to make this a slower paced game. Their offense isn’t good enough (283rd in offensive efficiency and 349th in 3 point FG%) to win a high scoring affair so we expect another game with the possessions in the 60’s. Both defenses are very solid ranking #1 (Memphis) and #4 in efficiency in conference play. Neither team takes many 3 pointers with the Shockers ranking 358th in 3 point attempts and the Tigers 299th. They only combined to make 23 triples in their 2 games this season and shot just 39% from the field. Neither team topped 71 points in either game in regulation and we don’t think they will here. Under.
