Memphis Tigers Betting Preview

The Tigers are currently on a seven-game winning streak and continue to climb the rankings. Their latest victory was a 90-82 performance over the Temple Owls.

With both teams tied at the half, the Tigers knew they had to do something different. After scoring 35 in the first half, they had a much better offensive output in the second with 55 points. PJ Haggerty led the charge with 20 points and seven assists.

Each team had a good shooting performance, with the Tigers leading at 56.1 percent overall and only held the Owls to 50.0 percent. One key area that separated the two was fast break points, as the Tigers got out in transition with 20 points compared to the Owls’ three.

The Tigers are putting up 79.4 points per game and are connecting on 48.3 percent of their buckets. Their defense has been solid but could use some improvement in allowing opponents to get 73.2 points per game. This margin is solid, but they keep games close.

South Florida Bulls Betting Preview

The Bulls are 2-3 over their last five games and are struggling to maintain a .500 season. They are coming off a 75-70 loss against the Wichita State Shockers, which put them back on the losing side.

South Florida had a four point lead at the half, but fell apart defending in the second. Jamille Reynolds had a good offensive output, leading the team with 18 points on 71.4 percent shooting and had six rebounds.

A quick look at the stats and you could argue that the Bulls should have won. They shot 52.2 percent from the field and held the Shockers to 39.3 percent. However, free throws and rebounding were the areas that the Bulls fell short on.

The Bulls are averaging 76.4 points per game and have made 45.8 percent of their shots. Their defense has allowed opponents to average 74.3 points a game, which essentially does not give enough margin for error.
