Alabama at Memphis Pick:
Last time out, Alabama hosted the Houston Cougars and escaped with a controversial 83-82 win. The Crimson Tide hit the game winning shot with 29 seconds remaining, but Houston has multiple opportunities to win it at the buzzer and there goaltending shouts that eventually fell on deaf ears. Juwan Gary led the team with 19 points, but the start of the night was Jahvon Quinerly and his 17 points, eight assists, three rebounds, and two steals. Houston shot 42.5% from the field, 34.6% from beyond the arc, and made just 11 of their 19 free throws.
Memphis lost their fourth consecutive game with a 74-72 home defeat to Murray State. The Tigers led by 14 points at the half, but the Racers made 10 second half three-pointers and were able to leave Memphis with a big win. Jalen Duran had a nice night with 14 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. Murray State shot 46.6% from the field, 48.3% from the three-point line, and made six of their 10 free throws.
