Memphis vs. Rice Public Betting: Bettors Laying Points
Our CBB Public Betting Information page indicates that 65% of public bettors are currently backing Memphis when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Harris only logs six minutes
Dante Harris (Coach’s decision) missed his only shot attempt while tallying two assists, a rebound and a steal in six minutes during Thursday’s win over Tulane. Harris returned after a one-game absence but saw under 10 minutes for the fourth time in seven appearances this season. The Virginia transfer has not quite been able to grasp a consistent role with the Tigers this year.
Amos only plays four minutes vs. Tulane
Kellen Amos (undisclosed) finished with no counting stats in four minutes during Saturday’s 82-71 loss to Tulane. Amos didn’t have counting stats in his return to the hardwood, but at least he managed to return to action. He’s not expected to have a big role going forward.
Memphis vs. Rice CBB Prediction:
Take the under. The under has cashed in five out of the last eight meetings and in three out of the last four Memphis-Rice matchups overall. The under is also 7-3 in the Tigers’ last 10 games, which includes cashing in three out of Memphis’ last four games as well. On the other side, the under is 5-4 in Rice’s last nine games, hitting in two out of the Owls’ last three games in the process.
