Purdue vs Memphis Prediction
Memphis comes into this matchup after losing their last two games and they have allowed 92 and 83 points in those two losses. The Tigers are shooting just 43% from the field and they are an average rebounding team. Purdue is 4-0 to start their season, which includes a great win over Alabama on the road last week. The Boilermakers are shooting 48% from the field and they have scored at least 87 points in three straight games. This Memphis team has plenty of talent, but they are not giving enough effort on the defensive end of the court right now. Take Purdue to cover.
