<\/a><\/p>Each game will be especially memorable for SMU\u2019s seniors. They won\u2019t be making the trip to the conference or NCAA tournaments due to sanctions imposed on the program. Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy should lead the way in this game. Moore had 22 points and seven assists, while Kennedy scored a season-high 19 points with nine rebounds in Sunday\u2019s 74-63 win over East Carolina.<\/p>\nMoore has been a solid player for the Mustangs recently. He\u2019s averaging 22 points on 51.9 percent shooting from three over his last four games. He also scored 22 in an 80-68 victory over Memphis on January 30. Expect the senior guard to continue lighting up the scoreboard as his college career approaches its end.<\/p>\n
The Mustangs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against Memphis.<\/p>\n
Betting on the Memphis Tigers (15-12)<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
Memphis may be struggling to string together some wins this season. But they\u2019ve been good playing at home in FedEx Forum. The Tigers are 13-5 at home this season, most recently beating UCF 73-56 on February 17. They rank first in scoring in conference play, putting up 75.3 points per game. But they allow their opponents plenty of opportunities, giving up 75.5 points per game.<\/p>\n
Dedric Lawson is the Tigers\u2019 court general this season. He leads the team with 15 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. He\u2019s stepped it up a notch recently, averaging 19 points and 11.6 rebounds in recording five straight double-doubles. The freshman forward wasn\u2019t at his best last month against SMU, though. He had 13 boards but shot 1 for 9 from the floor.<\/p>\n
Shaq Goodwin could help Lawson pound the ball inside the pain in this matchup. He\u2019s averaging close to double-double figures with 14.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season. He had 15 points, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals in the year\u2019s first game against SMU.<\/p>\n
Avery Woodson can offer some support from the backcourt. He\u2019s been pretty hot recently with back-to-back double digit scoring outings. Woodson has scored 14.5 points per game on 44 percent shooting from three in his last two games.<\/p>\n
Memphis has won four of their last five home games against SMU, going 3-2 against the spread.<\/p>\n
