Memphis Tigers
Memphis had a strong start to the season, leading the AAC with a 12-4 record. However, back-to-back losses by very close margins have them now chasing their rivals. To stop this slide, Memphis will rely on their offense, which averages 81.2 points per game. They are known for their fast pace, ranking 33rd in adjusted tempo according to KenPom. Leading the way for Memphis is David Jones, who ranks 7th in the nation with 21.7 points per game. Their shooting percentages are solid, with a field goal percentage of 46.5%, a three-point percentage of 35.4%, and a free throw percentage of 73.9%. While they don't excel in grabbing offensive rebounds, they have no problem scoring points. Defensively, Memphis is also strong. Despite allowing an average of 74.7 points per game, their opponents only shoot 41.2% from the field. Memphis allows 18.0 free throw attempts, but their opponents only make 33.0% of their three-pointers. The Tigers compete well on the boards, with a +0.6 rebounding margin, and in the turnover battle, also with a +0.6 margin. Although not exceptional in either area, Memphis proves to be a formidable team on the defensive end as well. Overall, Memphis is ranked 41st in offense and 256th in defense. They have a record of 15-4 this season, with a power ranking of 111. ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ @Bigdawgmalco23 pic.twitter.com/oiqRFMwZzs
