Prediction
Memphis over Tulsa
Memphis is by far the strongest and deepest team headed into the tournament. The only thing that could provide an upset is a Memphis team resting on their laurels after securing a win.ย
I don't see this hungry squad taking anything for granted, and should win out in this topsy-turvy tourney.ย
