Result:
WIN

This is a high-scoring round. Over the last nine years, the average total points per game for Elite 8 games has been 148.2. Here we get tremendous value on a 134.5 total. Memphis pours in 78.9 points per game. This is they type of team that Ohio State struggles against. The Buckeyes played five teams that scored 76+ per game this year and it was against these teams that they had problems. Granted, Memphis' stats came against C-USA opponents so there is some question there. But they handled a very good Texas A&M team last game, putting up 65 points. They have won 25 straight games so there is definitely something there. Ohio State we know can score but they have shown in this tourney that they can also be scored against. Take the OVER here.
