You know I've been a big Memphis fan in this tournament. Both of these teams come into this game riding major winning streaks, however I'll side with the Tigers as they will have the advantage here. St. Joe's has reeled off eight wins in their last nine games, mainly thanks to their strong defensive play. However they have managed to hold their opponents to just 56 ppg over their last five. But their offense is terrible as they have scored more than 60 points in just one of their last four contests. They won't be able to limit the Tigers offense like that tonight - an offense which is on fire right now. Memphis is 6-1 in their last seven games, losing only in the C-USA championship against Louisville and we all know how the Cardinals are doing right now. They are 7-0 ATS over that span. They have scored more than 80 points in five of those seven games. The lowest number they reached in that stretch was 74 points against Louisville. The Tigers are 15-6 are the top team left in this tournament. They take control of this one early and cruise to victory. Take Memphis for three stars.
