The current betting odds have Memphis listed as a 18.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Memphis has looked really good in their games this season with their 18-4 record overall and their 8-1 conference record which leads the AAC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 8-2 home record. Meanwhile, Tulsa hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 9-13 record overall and their 3-6 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the AAC. They have been a terrible road team too with their 1-5 road record. They are coming off a tight loss to Tulane in their last one, but they haven't looked good lately with their 1-4 record in their last 5 games. They have also taken some bad losses to the better teams in the conference and now they are playing a ranked team that might just be the best team in the AAC this year. Memphis is coming off a tight road win over Rice in their last one, but they have looked a lot better on their home court this year. They have some big blowout wins at home in the conference already and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row. Tulsa isn't the kind of team that is going to give Memphis trouble in this game and Memphis will be looking to have a much better performance at home after a close call in their last one. The best way to place a bet here is on Memphis to cover the spread in this game.

"He did (unlock himself). I think the teammates starting to believe in his game, and trying to find him as well. But, he's gotten into a comfort zone where he fits in with this team. He is an unbelievable weapon. This is who we knew he could be when we brought him here because he did that at the end of the game last year, the end of the season, for UTSA." - Penny Hardaway on PJ Carter this season.

"Y’all know my faith, man. I believe we’re the best team in the country. We keep winning on the road. Great teams win on the road. I’m proud of the guys for coming out, fighting hard and getting a W." - Penny Hardaway on his team this season.
