Memphis, despite secure at-large status, has had problems handling some of these hefty prices, winning games but not always extending the margins. Wichita State is one of those American teams that played the Tigers tough, covering twice and even winning outright in OT at the Roundhouse on February 16. The Wheatshockers came out ahead that afternoon despite hitting only 4 of 21 from beyond the arc. Memphis also struggled at home vs. Wichita on January 23, needing a late 12-0 run to erase a deficit in a labored 61-53 win. Interestingly, the Shockers hit just 7 for 39 from deep across the two meetings, yet staying close and within the spread both times. Play Wichita State (American at Fort Worth).
