St Louis for me.

Saint Louis might be the best bet of the Tourney so far, line should be PICK or STL -1.

The tempo of this game will favor Saint Louis considerably, do you trust Memphis in a half-court game? They are a young team that should get easily frustrated when they can't run like they want to.

Nobody "dominates" Saint Louis because opponents don't get enough possessions to build huge leads.

The only thing I remember about St. Louis is them being -10 vs Temple @home, and losing SU.

The real shame though, and I've said this before, is that these teams are playing each other, and in the 8/9 game no less. Both would have been great sleepers otherwise.

Meh, happens. Saint Louis is ranked way ahead of Temple on Pomeroy, no way they should be a 9 and Temple a 5.

Memphis one of the best shooting teams in the league.Going to win.

Or being -13 on the road against a 5 win Rhode Island team and losing by like 4. Have seen them in person 4 times this year and they are garbage. Memphis all the way

I think this game could easily go either way, so there is some value on St. Louis. I just don't have the balls to put my money on STL, they've had some brutal losses down the stretch. Memphis coming into with confidence winning 9 of their last 10.

Might pass on this one completely.

Saint Louis is ranked in the top 20 in the COUNTRY in every reliable set of power ratings you look at, they are far from "garbage". You can find bad losses for just about any team, you have to look at the whole body of work. Billikens are easily the best team in the Atlantic 10, and that conference ranks second among mid-majors behind Mountain West. Memphis's Conference USA is garbage, although I do think Tigers are legit, This is just an awful matchup for them stylistically.
