In the Jackson State game, the Red Wolves entered the second half with a 37-31 lead. Arkansas State was outscored 33-29 from there but still won 66-64. Taryn Todd led the team with 15 points and three rebounds in the win.

In Wednesday’s game against the Bulldogs, the Tigers found themselves trailing by one point in the locker room. However, Memphis fought back 44-33 in the second half to win 81-71. PJ Haggerty led the team with 23 points and six assists.

Arkansas State vs Memphis Prediction

I’ll just stick with Memphis. The Tigers got off to a pretty slow start in their last match against a good LA Tech team, but finished strong. However, Memphis missed 10 of its 33 free throws (69.7 percent) and had 14 turnovers. However, the Tigers have played quite well so far this year, scoring 71 or more points in seven of eight games (68 in the breakaway).

Arkansas State shot around 33.3 percent with 15 turnovers in a narrow win over the winless Jackson State team. The Red Wolves have scored under 68 points in three straight games (a 1-2 run), so I don’t think they can keep up with Memphis if the Tigers get going.
