Why Memphis Will Win

The Tigers are on fire with a six-game winning streak with a suffocating defense that hasn’t allowed more than 70 points since January – and only once in 2021 – and an O that’s been fine from the field.

There’s not a whole lot happening from three, but the Tigers are fantastic on the boards, force a ton of takeaways, and they’re second in the nation in three point defense. Cincinnati is the only team in the last five to hit more than 20% from three.

Why Houston Will Win

Memphis is fantastic defensively. Houston is better.

The Cougars are the second-best in the nation in scoring defense and fifth in the country on the boards. They attack, force a ton of mistakes, and they’re almost as good at defending the three as the Tigers are.

The three losses on the season were all on the road, they’ve been dominant at Fertitta, and they’ve been hitting everything from the field no matter where they’re playing. They get to the rim and can get on the move, but they’re also better from three.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s the first time these two have played with the winner – most likely – to finish second in the regular season American Athletic Conference race.

At home, Houston will be a wee bit stronger and more consistent, and they’ll be far, far better on the free throw line over the last five minutes. This is where the Cougars start to get into a stronger groove before the tournaments kick in.

Memphis Football Pauses All Activities After Positive COVID Tests

The University of Memphis football program has paused all football activities after several people tested positive for COVID-19

The University of Memphis football program has paused all football activities after several people tested positive for COVID-19

The University of Memphis announced on Friday that it will pause all of its football activities after several people within the program tested positive for COVID-19.

According to an article from the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the outbreak might have come from players allegedly being on a party bus after last week’s 37-24 win over Arkansas State. From the report, players were tested three times before the game and then right after, but now upwards of 20 players have reportedly tested positive.

However, Memphis defensive tackle O’Bryan Goodson disputes the report.

But …

Now the American Athletic Conference opener against Houston for Friday night the 18th is in question, as is the following Friday game against UTSA on the road.

Arkansas State is expected to play at Kansas State this weekend.

If the Memphis date with Houston can’t go as scheduled, there would have to be some reworking to do to get it in. Houston doesn’t have any open dates the rest of the way outside of October 3rd.

If Memphis and SMU move their game – scheduled for October 3rd – to October 10th when both the Cougars and Tigers could move their game to the third.
