Result:
LOSS

This is a key battle for fourth place in the American Athletic Conference standings between a pair of strong defensive teams. Memphis is tops in the conference in three-point shooting defense and allows .408% shooting from the field overall. Memphis is 36-16 UNDER the total when following a defeat. They run into a hot rival in Connecticut, allowing 51 and 63 points the last two games - both wins. UConn allows .401% shooting in conference play and is third in points allowed (63.2 per game). UConn has been hot from long range of late, but when these teams met last month the Huskies were 4-of-20 from three-point land (20%) and shot 37.9% from the field. The teams tallied 56 first half points. With so much at stake, look for another defensive war from the outset and a low-scoring first half. Play the first half UNDER the total.
