San Francisco vs Memphis Prediction

I’m staying with San Francisco. The Dons have been pretty impressive so far, dispatching all participants with four straight wins. San Francisco held an overmatched Chicago State team to just 23.6 percent shooting in their last outing and held a 47-33 rebounding edge. That makes 82 or more points in every game so far for the Dons.

As for Memphis, they are coming off a solid effort against Ohio, shooting a blistering 72.2 percent (13-of-18) from 3-point range and 19 team assists. The Tigers themselves have looked pretty good so far this year; we should have a fun matchup here. Ultimately though, I think the Dons have a slightly better cover (and potential gain).
