Memphis

[allstr921]

Memphis -4.5. Why so low? I see guys on UAB but I don't understand. Can you please tell me why you guys are leaning that way? In my mind Memphis is on a roll. Plays great defense an should cover. Thanksfor your input

Its because UAB has won 26 out of the last 27 at home and are 12-0 this year. Also last year the game came down to the wire in a one point game. I guess thats why the smaller number.

have you seen UAB play--they are good and have experience.

did you see the last game they played at Memphis? UAB held it close for a half....but their best player had one of his worst games of the season, their best big man only played 19 minutes d/t foul trouble, and Memphis, despite being 216th in the country in 3 pt FG% nailed 9 of 16 threes. it is highly unlikely that even one of these circumstances occurs again in Birmingham.

the previous game at UAB was a split second away from being a win for the Blazers, instead a heartbreaking loss.

Memphis is overrated on top of that...there is no way they are the fourth best team in the country. they've played a lot of bad teams in Conference USA and their non-conference opponents have also had down years (G'town, Tenn, even the Zags have had chemistry issues this year). I for one think the Blazers have a very good chance at home in front of a national audience to win outright.

Standout 6'9 freshman Matt Simpkins has been suspend by Memphis coach for undisclosed reasons. Though they (Memphis) have won their last 2 (since suspension) handily, they may run into a match-up problem tonight against a pretty good team. It may have started last time out as evidenced by them not covering against UTEP. Maybe UAB -2 is more realistic?

I'm seeing roughly 75% on Memphis & line not moving....that's my .2 cents

UAB or no IMO

because this is the best chance of Memphis losing in CUSA in years
