(2) Tennessee (24-2, 13-9 ATS) at (1) Memphis (26-0, 13-11-2 ATS)
Memphis puts its unbeaten record on the line tonight in the biggest game of the day and one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, as the top-ranked Tigers host No. 2 Tennessee with much more than state bragging rights at stake.
After seeing its perfect season nearly go up in smoke last Saturday at UAB, rallying for a stunning 79-78 victory, the Tigers bounced back in a big way on Wednesday, crushing Tulane 97-71 as a 13-point road chalk. Memphis, which has been favored in every game this season, has followed up a 7-1 ATS roll by going 3-5 ATS in its last eight.
Tennessee, which has achieved its highest national ranking in school history, prepped for this contest by routing Auburn 89-70 on Wednesday, barely covering as an 18-point home favorite. The Volunteers are riding an eight-game winning streak ? all in SEC play ? going 6-2 ATS during this streak, including 4-0 SU (2-2 ATS) on the road.
Tennessee leads the all-time series 11-7, going 6-2 in the last eight. That includes last year?s 76-58 rout of then-No. 16 Memphis, with the Vols covering as a one-point home underdog. Tennessee is 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings, and the underdog has cashed in each of the last seven battles dating to 1997.
Memphis owns the nation?s longest home-court winning streak, having won 47 in a row at the FedEx Forum. This year, the Tigers are 15-0 on their own floor, but just 7-7-1 ATS.
Memphis has won all 14 of its non-conference games, but is just 6-6-2 ATS. However, the Tigers have cashed in four of their last five non-conference home outings. Also, John Calipari?s squad is on positive ATS streaks of 36-16-2 after a win of more than 20 points and 9-4 against the SEC.
The Vols are 10-2 in road/neutral-site games, but only 5-7 ATS. In non-conference action, Bruce Pearl?s squad is 13-1 SU (6-5 ATS in lined games), including 6-1 in non-league road games (2-5 ATS).
Tennessee has been an underdog just three times this season, going 3-0 SU and ATS, beating Xavier, Gonzaga and Mississippi State. Furthermore, the Vols are on ATS streaks of 6-1 against Conference USA foes, 5-2 following a SU win, 4-0 versus teams with a winning percentage better than .600 and 13-6-1 in non-conference action.
This marks the 38th time the nation?s No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams have squared off, and the fifth occasion that the participants are from the same state.
The Vols rank fourth in the nation in scoring offense (84 points per game), sixth in offensive rebounds (13.7 per game) and fifth in three-point defense (29.1 percent). However, Tennessee gives up 70.1 ppg game, surrendering 70 or more in six of its last seven contests.
Memphis puts up 80.8 points per game (15th nationally), allows 61.2 ppg (28th) and holds opponents to 37.6 percent shooting overall (4th) and 30 percent from three-point land (13th). Also, the Tigers are fourth in the nation in rebounding differential, averaging 9.4 more boards per game than their opponents.
Both teams are weak at the free-throw line, with Tennessee making 64.1 percent of its foul shots, while Memphis is one of the worst in the nation at 58.8 percent.
The under is on streaks of 6-1 for Tennessee on the road, 6-1 for Tennessee on Saturdays, 10-1 for Memphis after scoring more than 90 points in the previous game and 5-1 for Memphis following a spread-cover.

Georgetown is on a 3-0 run in this series, winning both meetings last season, but in an unusual twist, the Hoyas pushed in both contests. The Hoyas beat Cincinnati 82-67 at home laying 15 points, then won 75-65 as a 10-point road chalk.

Finally, only one of the last nine head-to-head clashes has been decided by double digits.
The Wildcats won their first two Big 12 road games, but have since lost their last three SU and ATS, falling by margins of three points at Missouri, nine at Texas Tech and seven at Nebraska.
Baylor is 10-3 at home this year, but just 1-6 against the number, including 3-2 SU (1-4 ATS) when hosting Big 12 foes.
