Colorado State ML (-130)
vs. Memphis at 2 p.m. ET · TBS
Colorado State enters the contest with a 25-9 record, earning the 12th seed in the West Region. The Rams are on fire, winning 10 straight games, including the Mountain West Championship.
Nique Clifford leads Colorado State with 19.0 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. The Rams' momentum makes them a dangerous opponent in this matchup.
Memphis begins the tournament with a 29-5 record after securing the American Athletic Championship. Penny Hardaway's squad has made the tournament in three of the last four seasons but hasn’t won a game since 2022.
PJ Haggerty, who ranks third in the nation with 21.8 points per game, leads the Tigers. However, Memphis is dealing with injuries, as Tyrese Hunter is doubtful to play.
That's a factor that could give the red-hot Rams an edge.
Marquette ML (-180)
vs. New Mexico at 7:25 p.m. ET · TBS
New Mexico enters with a 26-7 record, as head coach Richard Pitino has done an outstanding job leading the Lobos to back-to-back tournament appearances.
