Pick
I’m sticking with the Bearcats here. I get why Memphis is favored at home and this Tigers team is fully capable of piling on the points, but both teams have found themselves playing close games as of late and I think this one could come down to who gets the last shot. I’ll take a shot with the Bearcats and the points here.
