Memphis vs Louisiana Tech Prediction
Potential letdown spot for the Memphis Tigers after playing Michigan State, Auburn, and UCONN. However, Louisiana Tech hasn’t really played anybody this season and still just lost to Southern as a 15-point favorite. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs just don’t have the talent to go toe to toe with Memphis, and their latest result is alarming. Assuming Memphis doesn’t have a hangover, this game shouldn’t be all that close. Give me Memphis in a beatdown.
