Current Records: Memphis 9-8; Tulsa 6-10

What to Know

An American Athletic battle is on tap between the Memphis Tigers and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at 3 p.m. ET Sunday at Donald Reynolds Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Memphis came up short against the SMU Mustangs this past Thursday, falling 70-62. The top scorer for the Tigers was guard Tyler Harris (17 points).

Meanwhile, Tulsa found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 90-69 punch to the gut against the Cincinnati Bearcats this past Thursday. Despite the loss, the Golden Hurricane had strong showings from guard Darien Jackson, who had 21 points in addition to five rebounds, and forward Jeriah Horne, who had 19 points along with seven boards.

Memphis is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.

Memphis is now 9-8 while Tulsa sits at 6-10. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Tigers are 356th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 17.5 on average. To make matters even worse for Memphis, the Golden Hurricane rank 32nd in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 16.3 on average. Maybe that strength will give Tulsa the oomph they need to beat the odds.
