At 11:00 AM ET my Early Riser is on Memphis. This battle of Tigers is important for both Memphis and Clemson. Each wants that victory on its resume. They faced each other at Memphis one year ago and Memphis won by 2 points. This is going to be another close game and that makes getting all those points a great option. Clemson is a good team and is playing well. But Clemson was also strong last season (went to Elite 8) and Memphis won. This year, Clemson doesn't have PJ Hall. He led Clemson with 21 points (and 3 blocks) in last year's game. Memphis was upset last game but it responded to its only previous loss by bouncing right back. This year's Memphis teams is perhaps stronger than last year's and has NCAA Tournament aspirations. The (Memphis) Tigers already defeated Michigan State and UConn, as well as other solid teams like UNLV, Missouri and SF. Memphis has seen 4 of 6 decided by 10 or less and Clemson has seen 3 of its last 4 decided by 10 or less. Clemson's last game here was decided by only 4. Grab the points.
