Betting Trends for vs
The East Carolina Pirates are coming off a couple of postponed games which will leave some questions on how they will respond, but the Memphis Tigers have really struggled this season as they are 7-5 on the season. The Tigers had a solid scoring performance in their recent game as they scored 72 points, but that hasn’t been the case throughout conference play as they are only averaging 63.2 PPG, and that has kept their opponents in every game this season. The Memphis defense will present a real challenge to the Pirates, but they have one of the better forwards in the conference with Jayden Gardner averaging 16.3 PPG, and he should do enough to keep his team in this game at home. Final Score Prediction, Memphis Tigers win but fail to cover ATS 72-67.
