Gee, I hope they can right the ship tonight

O

Tigers will win big tonight!

KenPom has us as a 16 point favorite. If we win by 3-5 that would be enough to drop us to 68-70 in KenPom and into the 70s in the NET. That would also probably drop us below North Texas in both metrics pending their result. We would then be the 4th highest rated team in the conference in both metrics. For us to move up in either metric in any meaningful way, we'll need to win by 25-30 points. A 30 point win would put us around 56-57 in KenPom(currently 63rd) not factoring for other results tonight.

Well, even though I believe we will win, I'm glad I don't have to bet on the point spread to fund my retirement. I truthfully believe there is an equal chance of it going either way.

You would've made a lot of money this year betting against Memphis ATS.

2-8 in the last 10 ATS
7-13 overall ATS.
0-5 as a 14 point favorite or higher ATS.

We are a 14.5 point favorite as of now.

Need a win badly. Time to turn this thing around

I wouldn’t trust us to beat anyone by 15 right now

Wait, this game isn't even on ESPN+???

ESPN+ has it listed for 7 pm

Shouldn’t the thread title be the official Memphis State vs Rice game?

I doubt the Tigers have the same starting 5 tonight.

I'll be attending this one. It was a free makeup ticket for the iced out game.

Someone I had given two nosebleed seats to (section 225) for tonight's game ended up getting better club seats. If anyone wants two free tickets to tonight's game, let me know and I can send them to you. They don't let me transfer them, but they're QR code tickets so you can get in with a screenshot.
