Memphis vs. Wichita State CBB Prediction:
Memphis has been rock solid since the middle of December. Since December 14th, the Tigers are 14-2 straight up. Memphis defeated Clemson, Virginia, and Ole Miss in that stretch in addition to knocking off North Texas, UAB, and Tulane. The key has been their guards. Memphis has 3 guards that average over 10 points per game. They are PJ Haggerty, Tyrese Hunter, and Colby Rogers. That trio combined to score 41 of the Tigers’ 61 points in their team’s 61-53 home win over Wichita State on January 23rd earlier this year. I think those 3 guards both play well again and that Memphis will win comfortably on Sunday. I’m laying the points with the Tigers on the road in this one.
