What to Know

The Memphis Tigers will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Fifth Third Arena at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. They will be strutting in after a victory while the Cincinnati Bearcats will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Tigers were able to grind out a solid win over the Houston Cougars this past Saturday, winning 69-59. Four players on Memphis scored in the double digits: guard Landers Nolley II (20), center Jalen Duren (14), guard Lester Quinones (13), and forward DeAndre Williams (13). That makes it three consecutive games in which Jalen Duren has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Cincinnati was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 83-77 to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Guard Mika Adams-Woods had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with ten points on 4-for-17 shooting in his 30 minutes on the court.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Memphis is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Memphis is now 14-8 while Cincinnati sits at 16-8. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Tigers have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.30%, which places them 21st in college basketball. But the Bearcats are even better: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.70%, which places them 16th in college basketball. We'll see if that edge gives Cincinnati a route to victory.
