The Memphis Tigers and the Cincinnati Bearcats meet in college basketball action from the Fifth Third Arena on Tuesday night.

The Memphis Tigers will attempt to build on their five-game winning streak after a 69-59 win over Houston last time out. Jalen Duren leads the Tigers in scoring and rebounding with 11.3 PPG and 7.9 RPG while DeAndre Williams has 11.2 PPG with 5.5 RPG. Emoni Bates has 10.4 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Memphis so far this season. Tyler Harris has 9.6 PPG while Alex Lomax has a team-high 3.5 APG to lead the Tigers in assists. As a team, Memphis is averaging 76.6 PPG on 47% shooting from the field, 35.9% from three and 67.1% from the foul line while allowing 69.3 PPG on 39.3% shooting from the field and 33.1% from three this season.

The Cincinnati Bearcats will look to find some consistency, alternating wins and losses in each of their last six games after an 83-77 win over Tulsa last time out. David DeJulius leads the Bearcats in scoring with 14.7 PPG while Jeremiah Davenport has 13.3 PPG with a team-high 5.2 RPG to lead the Bearcats on the glass and to make up the duo of double-digit scorers for Cincinnati so far this season. Mika Adams-Woods also has 8.9 PPG with a team-high 3.2 APG to lead the Bearcats in assists this season. As a team, Cincinnati is averaging 70.5 PPG on 41.2% shooting from the field, 32.2% from three and 66.9% from the foul line while allowing 63.9 PPG on 38.7% from the field and 30.4% from three this season.

Memphis is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600 while the under is 4-1 in their lat 5 games overall. Cincinnati is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games.

I get the case to be made for either side here as Memphis is playing really well right now, but Cincinnati’s a solid team with solid defense and should get respect as a home underdog. With that said, I’m looking at the oer here as these are two of the faster-paced offenses in the AAC and I think this one has the makings of a potential track meet. Give me the over here.
