The Memphis Tigers and Houston Cougars meet Sunday in the college basketball AAC Tournament Final at the Dickies Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Memphis Tigers are averaging 79.5 points on 48.1 percent shooting and allowing 72.6 points on 40.9 percent shooting. Kendrick Davis is averaging 21.8 points and 3.6 rebounds, while DeAndre Williams is averaging 17.6 points and 7.8 rebounds.

The Memphis Tigers are talented enough to where they’re worth a look in the underdog role, as they have the horses to hang around and possibly steal it. However, we saw Houston go into Memphis last week and win. This is pretty much a home game for the Houston Cougars, and they’ve been pretty much a buzz saw all season. I’d need more points to consider Memphis. This line is reasonable. Give me Houston and the chalk.
