The Memphis Tigers are coming off a blowout win over Wichita State and that could be the turning point in what’s been an up and down season. The East Carolina Pirates have had some offensive issues the last time we saw them and they haven’t played in a couple weeks, which doesn’t help the rhythm of the team. Memphis should win this game, so I’ll lay the more than reasonable number.
