10* AAC GAME OF MONTH **2:00 EST TIP!**
(NCAAB) East Carolina vs. Memphis,
Point Spread: -14.50 | -105.00 Memphis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* AAC GOM on Memphis.

Memphis is 11-4 after a 96-89 New Year's day loss to Tulane. The bright spot in defeat was that the Tiger hit a season-best ten three-point shots. They allowed 59 second-half points, but they catch a break here facing the Pirates.

ECU is now 10-6 after a 64-61 home loss to UCF. The Pirates were just 13 of 22 from the line, and that kind of sloppy play will not get the job done here either in this difficult road venue.

ECU averages 71.2 PPG, and it concedes 67.7. It's schedule gets more difficult moving forward as well.

The Tigers average 78.7 PPG, while allowing 71.

Strength of schedule needs to be taken into consideration here. Memphis is ranked No. 36 in that department according to KenPom to this point, while ECU is ranked 315th.

Look for MEMPHIS to keep the foot on the gas until the final horn sounds.

Good luck, NP
