Memphis has two big motivating factors in play for this game as it wants to atone for a humiliating 75-51 home loss to South Florida on Thursday when the Tigers admitted afterward that they took the Bulls lightly, even though in their situation they had no reason to. Also, Memphis wants to avenge an overtime loss to East Carolina on Feb. 3. The Pirates have lost four straight, including a 51-point loss at Houston. In addition, the Pirates basically are down to eight players due to suspensions and disciplinary action. East Carolina shot just 35.5 percent in its loss to Tulsa on Thursday, and the Pirates have a field goal percentage of only .430 overall and .302 from 3-point range on the season. The Tigers are 12-4 ATS after a double-digit home loss dating to last season. Play Memphis.
