UNLV vs Memphis Prediction

The Memphis Tigers are getting some love because of their expectations over the years and the supposed talent on the roster. The problem is this Memphis squad isn’t as talented as it’s been in the past and this program has underachieved over the years. The UNLV Rebels are taking steps in the right direction, the talent is there and I can expect a tough atmosphere. UNLV basketball has a chance to make some noise and this is a statement Game. I like the Rebel’s chances. Give me the free bucket.
