It is a classic battle of the tortoise and the hare on Sunday in Tennessee when the Memphis Tigers play host to the Houston Cougars.
Houston Cougars (-5.5, 146.5) vs. Memphis Tigers
Memphis entered the weekend 10th in the country in total possessions per game while Houston entered 334th out of 363 Division I teams.
The key in many cases to winning a tempo war is ball security and Houston has the advantage in that department, committing a turnover on 13.2% of possessions in games away from home, which is the lowest road turnover rate in the country.
