SMU Mustangs
SMU may not be getting talked about a lot in the college basketball world, but they have played pretty well so far this season. I have liked a lot of the things I have seen out of them so far.
The Mustangs beat the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday by a score of 75-66. They did just what they had to do against a team they are better than.
Clearly, a team like the Houston Cougars has had a very good year in the AAC, but when you think of best teams in that conference, you have to put this team in the mix. Throughout the course of the season, they just have been a solid ball club.
Kendric Davis led his team in scoring in the win over Tulane with 24 points and 4 assists. Emmanuel Bandoumel also had 17 points and 5 rebounds in the contest.
Memphis Tigers
It certainly has not been the prettiest of seasons for this Memphis squad this year. Just when they seem to take a step forward, they seem to take two backwards. That have to play at a more consistent level if they wish to be the team they strive to be.
Right now, the Tigers have a record of 9-7. One win that definitely stands out to me for them is the win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. At the time, I thought there was a possibility that the victory could spark them moving forward, but that has not been the case.
These guys lost to the East Carolina Pirates on Saturday by a score of 72-71. They have to be kicking themselves because they held a 44-30 lead at the end of the first half, but were unable to hold it. Those are the sorts of things that must drive the head coach nuts.
If you look at the box score, you can conclude that the offense was not the issue, but the defense just did not show up to play. All too often, the Pirates did whatever they chose to do on the offensive side of the ball.

Memphis knows that they let a game slip away from them in their last game. It is critical that they play a complete game when they host this talented Mustangs crew.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: SMU ATS
SMU will look to keep up their strong play in this one. Of course, going on the road and getting it done will be no easy task, but they know what to expect and it is just a matter of them executing.
This play really comes down to the fact that I trust the Mustangs more than I do the Tigers. I have not been super impressed with the way Memphis has been playing and I am not so sure they will be all that great in this one.
For me, the 6 points are too high to lay with the home team here.
I like the Mustangs getting points on the road here.
