The Memphis Tigers have two games left beginning with this one. The Tigers are now 14-0 in the conference and 25-4 overall. However, with both the C-USA conference and an invite to the dance locked up (should they not win the conference tournament), the Tigers can take a breather here and get ready as the #1 seed in the conference tournament this coming weekend. All the Tigers have is a bunch of skewed numbers against one of the easiest schedules of all tournament teams. The Tigers three toughest opponents this season has been Minnesota, VCU and Minnesota and in those games, Memphis is 0-3, losing by nine or more each time. They will also play its third straight game on the road and for these kids, that’s a tough assignment when there is nothing on the line.

UTEP’s only chance of making it to the big event is by getting an automatic bid by winning the C-USA tournament. The Miners sit in third place in the division but they’re just a game ahead of fourth place UCF. UTEP’s motivation here would be to secure the #3 seed in the conference tournament to set up a match against an easier opponent. Playing a ranked team and a conference rival is also a motivating factor. More than all of that is the unfavorable situation of a ranked team spotting road points in a vulnerable spot
