The Memphis Tigers will take on the Little Rock Trojans in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday night.
The Tigers are 6-2 for the season and will look to make an impact at AAC. The Trojans are 2-6 for the season and have had a pretty inconsistent time lately on the court. They lost to the San Francisco Dons in their most recent matchup and failed to cover the spread as underdogs. The Tigers defeated the Ole Miss Rebels in their last game and managed to cover the spread as 6.5-point favorites.

Memphis vs Little Rock Key Stats
The Tigers are 4-1 this season and have managed to cover the spread in three of those games. In their most recent win against the Rebels, Deandre Williams scored 17 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and dished out seven assists. Alex Lomax and Kendric Davis contributed 14 points each.
The Tigers are averaging 71.9 points on 44.8% shooting while giving up 63.5 points on 38.2% shooting. They are restricting their opponents to 32.5% shooting from the three-point line and 70.3% shooting from the free throw line, while they themselves are shooting 73.2% from the free throw line.
The Trojans are 1-4 in their last five games and have managed to cover the spread in three of those contests. In their recent loss against the Dons, D.J. Smith scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds, while Ethan Speaker scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds, and the rest of the unit failed to make an impact on either side of the court.
The Trojans are averaging 72.3 points on 42.5% shooting while giving up 83.5 points on 49.2% shooting. The offense has been bad, but the defense has been way worse this season, as they have failed to restrict their opponents from scoring through open plays and grabbing rebounds on both ends of the court.
Memphis vs Little Rock Betting Prediction
This game will be a complete blowout, as I don't see the faint defense of the Trojans stopping the highly potent Tigers' offense. Moreover, the Tigers are home tonight and will look to command authority from the first tip-off. Take the Tigers to cover the spread and make easy work of the Trojans tonight.
Pick: Tigers -27.5 (-110)
