Most of the preseason polls had FAU or Memphis winning the American Athletic Conference this season. Not only is neither team in 1st place currently, but the teams are both unranked, too.
FAU is 1 1/2 games back of South Florida for the lead in the AAC, and it also lost to the Bulls 90-86 last Sunday. The Owls bounced back with a nice 80-70 win over SMU on Thursday, while covering a 7-point number as the Under (154) cashed.
Memphis blasted Charlotte 76-52 to keep its NCAA Tournament hopes alive and well, but it had lost consecutive games to SMU and North Texas prior to that. In fact, the Tigers are just 4-6 straight up (SU) and 2-8 against the spread (ATS) across the past 10 outings.
