Tulane began the year on a pretty solid 6-2 run with losses to Memphis and East Carolina. Since then the Green Wave are just 2-6, however. The losses in that stretch have come courtesy of Houston, Temple, Houston again, Wichita State, Cincinnati and UCF.
In the 53-49 loss to UCF on Friday, Tulane’s Jaylen Forbes and Jordan Walker were the only team players in double-digit points. Each had 14, and the duo combined for 10 rebounds and five assists. Gabe Watson chipped in nine points with four boards as well.

In the 82-65 loss to Houston on Wednesday, South Florida’s David Collins put up 18 points with five rebounds and four assists. Michael Durr added 14 points with seven rebounds, and Russel Tchewa put up seven points with five boards.
The Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and 4-0 ATS in their last four after a straight-up loss. USF is 4-1 ATS in their last five after an ATS loss and the under is 21-10-1 in their last 32 home games.
Meanwhile, the Wave are 4-0 ATS in their last four after an ATS win and 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Tulane is 5-0 ATS in the last five overall and 4-0 ATS in their last four Sunday games.
PICK: I’m going to lean Tulane here, but probably staying away. Neither team has scored all that well lately: Tulane has been at 61 or below in each of their last three outings and South Florida has been below 70 in each of their last five games. Still, the Green Wave can score fairly well when the matchup is right, and I think they can eke out a cover here.
