Memphis is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 vs. the A10 conference and they struggled down the stretch losing 3 of their last 5 games, but that was not enough to limit the confidence as Memphis has already guaranteed 2 wins in the tournament. GW is just going about their business knowing they have already beaten Creighton and VCU this year and they feature a top defense ranked 42nd in adjusted rankings. George Washington's strength of schedule was just as challenging as Memphis and I'm not high on the AAC conference as Memphis lost 3 times to UConn who nearly got knocked off by St. Joseph's last night.
Oklahoma State comes from a much stronger conference, and the only other team out of Gonzaga's conference was BYU. BYU got dominated by Oregon yesterday in the tournament 87-68 and St. Mary's was not very good this year either. Every year Gonzaga comes into the conference over rated and they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 tournament games. This year is no different and drawing Oklahoma State is a tough deal, because Oklahoma State was a top 10 team and they feature a star player in Marcus Smart. Oklahoma State finished the year strong winning 5 of their last 7 games playing each game like they needed a win to get into the tournament.
