*10* MASSACRE on Memphis.
.
The Memphis Tigers will be on the road at Cincinnati tonight, and the Bearcats will be a big favorite. We all know that Cincy has the bigger reputation as a basketball school, but I believe tonight's line is a little inflated. The Tigers have a better record, winning three of four in conference play, while the Bearcats have four losses in their last seven games. I'll take the points with Memphis.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Cincinnati is normally very strong at home, but it's strength is in it's defense, which often results in winning close games. Cincinnati is just 2-5 ATS in it's last seven home games.

2. Free Throw Shooting - The Tigers haven't had any trouble hitting free throws on the road, averaging 84.8 percent so far. The come in shooting 79.3 percent over their last five games, while Cincinnati has hit just 69.6 percent during that same span.

3. X-Factor - The Bearcats are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall

Selection: This is a play on the Memphis Tigers (10*)
