Memphis vs East Carolina 3/12/20 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

East Carolina is one team that did not look that impressive during the regular season. The Pirates finished the year with an 11-20 record on the year and most likely will play in this game and then get to enjoy the rest of the season from the couch.

The offense for the Pirates only managed to get a total of 68 points a game. The Pirates shot at a clip of 42% from the floor. The defense for East Carolina allowed a total of 71.5 points per game on the year and did not look like the Pirates defense could stop good offenses.

Memphis is one team that looked really impressive to close out the year with a loss in their last game, but the games before that were both wins. The Tigers finished the season out with a 21-10 record and did look impressive at times on the year.

The offense for Memphis ended up scoring at a clip of 72.5 points a game on the year. The Tigers ended up shooting at a clip of 44.2% on the year. When it comes to the defense the Tigers were very impressive by giving up only 64.9 points a game on the day.

    Memphis is coming off of a close loss to Houston in their last game, but the Pirates are nowhere near the caliber of team that the Cougars are. Look for the Tigers to also come into the game hungry to bounce back from their loss in the last game and that allows the Tigers to bring home the win in the game here and cover as the Pirates lack of offense against a good defense is a glaring issue for East Carolina. Final Score Prediction, Memphis Tigers win and cover 79-64.
