Las Vegas - If you're wondering why Memphis (15-8) is a tiny 2-point favorite over Southern Methodist when SMU actually has the better record (18-6), here's why. The Tigers have ripped off six straight wins and five straight covers. Call it the REVENGE TOUR! Memphis lost to East Carolina back in January, 72-71, then came back with a blowout in the second game, 71-54. The Tigers lost to Central Florida 74-64 then came back to wipe the floor with UCF in Tennessee, 88-60. Then they lost to Tulane back in December, 85-84, down in Louisiana, but when they came back to the Pyramid, Memphis posted an easy breezy 80-69 W. Apparently, all the HIGH WATTAGE coaches on the bench next to Penny Hardaway are finally paying some dividends. If you're not familiar, Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown sits next to Penny, and a seat down is Rasheed Wallace. Expecting the perfection to continue and we'll drop a handful of chips on the visitors from Memphis.
