(NCAAB) Memphis vs. East Carolina,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -117.00 Memphis (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* MID-MAJOR DESTRUCTION on Memphis.

I played on Memphis vs. Temple on Saturday, it was an unfortunate setback as the Tigers had the game in hand for almost the entire affair, only to let it slip away in the final moments. Suffice it to say, I think a determined Memphis side will find a way to get the job done tonight and look for it to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. The Tigers are 14-9 overall and 6-4 in The American. The Pirates are just 10-13 overall and only 3-7 in league play. Memphis will be extra hungry after falling 61-60 to the Owls, but note that it's won 12 of its last 18 overall. Conversely, I think this sets up as a letdown spot for the Pirates, they've won two of their last three with home victories over Cincinnati and UCF. I have a hard time seeing ECU matching up with Memphis on the glass, the Tigers are in the top-two in The American in rebound margin, also in blocked shots and in steals. Also note that Memphis has moved over 200 spots in the NCAA rankings for assists per game over the past 18 contests. And from a trend based stand point, this play is extremely strong in my opinion, as note that Memphis is 4-1 ATS this season vs. teams with losing records and 3-2 ATS after scoring 60 points or less. Also note that ECU has struggled in this spot all year, a poor 4-5 ATS vs. good defensive teams which allow 64 points or less per contest and just 2-6 ATS after allowing 60 points or less in its previous contest. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, all signs do indeed point to the TIGERS as the savvy move in this one.
