UTSA Roadrunners vs Memphis Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/18/26

 The UTSA Roadrunners and the Memphis Tigers will face off on Sunday in an American Conference matchup. UTSA is 0-5 in conference play and are looking like one of the worst teams in the league. The Roadrunners have lost 10 straight games and are big underdogs against Memphis in this one. Memphis is not as good as it has been in recent years, but it is still 3-1 in conference play. The Tigers are not projected to make the NCAA Tournament at this point in the season, but they should have no issues beating UTSA on their home floor. The spread is currently set at 21.5 points in favor of Memphis and that is my best bet of the game.

UTSA has been a very bad team this year and I think Memphis’ defense will dominate. The Roadrunners own just 2 wins against Division I teams this season and are ranked #343 nationally at KenPom. The Tigers’ defense should be able to control this game. According to KenPom, Memphis’ defense is ranked #53 in turnover percentage — and the Roadrunners do not take care of the ball well. They are ranked #266 in turnovers per game and find themselves near the bottom of the country in most offensive categories. Memphis is by far the better team and I expect it to cover the spread.
