Memphis is in a classic sandwich situation. They are off a humbling 15-point rout at the hands of SMU, snapping a 16-game conference road winning steak. Their next chance for a statement game is Saturday against nationally ranked Gonzaga.

Rutgers has a more modest goal, to stay competitive off their confidence building destruction of Houston. Revenge works (from a gambling standpoint) best when the revenging team is getting a ton of points and simply trying to avoid getting crushed again. That is exactly the case here.
