Monmouth Hawks at Memphis Tigers Prediction
Memphis is bound to the more recognizable name here be that they were a stalwart in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and have gone as far as Championship Game during the Derek Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts era. The Monmouth Hawks may seem like another drop in the bucket to the casual college hoops enthusiast but this team is anything but that. Monmouth was a breath away from qualifying for the 2016 Men’s Basketball Tournament had Iona not had other ideas in an absolute thriller for the MEAC Championship. Monmouth seemed to be unstoppable against mid-major opponents and some bracketologists had this Monmouth team pitched as a dark horse with the potential of wreaking havoc on the tournament field. This team was primed to torpedo one of the game’s top-tier outfits and instead they had to settle for the NIT by virtue of falling short at the worst time imaginable. Now, the Hawks seem to be back with a vengeance as they have won their last seven in a row by decisive margins. This is a team that nearly handed an undefeated South Carolina team their first loss on the year on the road where overtime was required to declare a winner by a margin of just one point. Memphis has yet to win a game against any opponent of consequence outside of Iowa and even then Monmouth may be the best team they have faced up to this point. Do not be surprised if the Hawks swoop in and take the Tigers by surprise on their own court.
