Both of these teams are hot but I think Memphis is getting more respect because they knocked off Houston (who didn't have Marcus Sasser and seemed to not to care) and, thus, are favored here.

Florida Atlantic is a GREAT basketball team, the Owls have a win over Florida including beating every capable team in Conference USA.  

FAU is experienced and takes good shots, and can also knocks down their threes which can be the key to beating this Memphis team.
