Southern Illinois vs Memphis Prediction
Memphis comes into this matchup on a four game losing streak and they played very poorly in the second half against Wake Forest in their last game. The Tigers are shooting 42% from the field this year and they have allowed at least 80 points in three of their last four. SIU has lost three of their last four games and while they are shooting 50% from the field, they have allowed 81+ points in those three losses. I think we could see a higher scoring game here, but I like Memphis to get back on track with a blowout win.
