The Syracuse Orange look to bounce back tonight when they host a Memphis Tigers team that was dreadful offensively against the two ranked opponents it faced.

NCAA basketball betting odds have the Orange listed as 9-point home favorites in this matchup.

The Orange lead the Big East with 15.9 turnovers a game, while Memphis is among the nation’s top 10 in forcing them at 19.3 per contest.

If the Tigers’ first two shooting performances against ranked opponents are any indication, they might not provide much of a threat to the Orange. Memphis shot 33.0 percent overall in losses to Kansas and Tennessee.

This will be the first time facing the Orange for Elliot Williams, the Duke transfer who leads the Tigers at 19.7 points per game. Williams, a 49.0 percent shooter, shot 27.0 percent in Memphis’ three losses.

The Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
