UAB vs Memphis Injury Report
UAB doesn’t have a player listed on its injury report. Memphis will be without Dante Harris, while Tyrese Hunter is questionable with a foot injury.
UAB vs Memphis Prediction
UAB just doesn’t have the defense to bother Memphis and that showed in two meetings this season. Memphis won the first game in January by 23 points while scoring 100, and the Tigers won the second game on the road a couple of weeks ago while scoring 88. UAB is a below-average defensive team across the board and it’s just not a great sign when going up this athletic Memphis squad. The favorite has covered eight of the last 10 games between UAB and Memphis. Memphis hasn’t been great ATS this season and has failed to cover three of its last four games, but we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’ll lay the points with Memphis in the AAC Championship.
