ANALYSIS:
Memphis has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. Their record this season is 22-11, and the club is ranked 31st overall (out of 358) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 11 schools in the AAC (average ranking 105.9), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.

The primary strength for Memphis is defense. The team is ranked 36th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 93 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Memphis thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 15th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 15.54. Memphis will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They're most likely to shut you down inside the three-point arc, considering the team limits AO to converting just 34.0% of their mid-range jumpers (37th in the nation), 52.0% of their near-proximity chances (17th), and 39.2% of their total shots from the field (19th).

Memphis plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 38th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Memphis does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked fourth nationally), and with a rating of 18.74, they're sixth in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. Memphis also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.68 vs. AO, they are ranked seventh in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 70.8%. Memphis is lastly one of the best field goal shooting teams that opposing defenses will have the displeasure of facing this season. The squad is ranked 17th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 48.0% of their attempts vs. AO. If Memphis does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 13.55 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks 26th-worst in the college game.

Memphis has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #42 ranking in positive momentum. Memphis has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 345th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. When playing on the road, Memphis performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 328th in our site's away-from-home metric.
