Clemson Tigers vs Memphis Tigers prediction
The Clemson Tigers will be up for the task in this spot, as they’re a stingy defensive side that travels well, and they have more offensive firepower than past Clemson teams. With all that said, I’d need more points to consider them here. The Memphis Tigers are talented, athletic and at home are going to be a handful. Memphis defends well in its own right and has ball handlers who can move this Clemson defense around. Only laying a bucket. Give me Memphis in a hard fought game.
