Memphis vs Tulane Prediction
Memphis won the regular season title in the AAC by a couple of games over North Texas, but they struggled to separate from Wichita State on Friday. The Tigers have won six games in a row and they have scored at least 83 points in four of their last five. Tulane needed a big run in the closing minutes to put away FAU on Friday and they have won four of their last five games. The Green Wave aren’t great on offense, but they do play very tight defense that gives teams plenty of trouble. Memphis won the lone regular season meeting with Tulane by a score of 68-56, but this Tulane team is playing at a very high level right now and I don’t love how Memphis executed yesterday. Take Tulane and the points here.
