The set-up: Monmouth (8-2) will visit Memphis on Tuesday to take on the 7-2 Tigers, who are 6-0 at home this season.
Monmouth: Four starters return from last year's 28-8 team, which many felt was the NCAA's biggest snub on Selection Sunday. Reigning Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year, the 5-7 Justin Robinson (16.2-3.1-5.1) is again leading the way. He has scored in double figures in 62 of his last 69 games. The other three returning starters are also averaging in double digits, 6-10 senior center Brady (11.5 & 6.4) plus guards Seaborn (15.6) and Hornbeak (11.0). Monmouth was selected to finish first in MAAC this season in a poll of the league's coaches but the Hawks have not exactly played the toughest of schedules, losing their only two games against teams from Power Five conferences (MAAC play opens Dec. 31).
Memphis: Tubby Smith is now on the coaching sidelines for the Tigers and his success is unquestioned. The Tigers' most important player is 6-9 sophomore sophomore Dedric Lawson (20.7 & 10.8) but he needs to stay out of foul trouble and on the court. One game after scoring only eight points in a loss vs. Ole Miss because of early foul trouble, Lawson exploded for 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocked shots in 40 minutes against UAB to lead the Tigers to their seventh victory.Dedric's brother, the 6-7 K.J. Lawson (14.2 & 8.4) and guar Markel Crawford (13.3 & 4.8) are two more double digit scorers.
The pick: King Rice's Monmouth team is a veteran group which 13-4 SU on the road last year and it's been awhile since Memphis was good home favorite. Take eth points and Make Monmouth a 10* play.
