The Tulsa Golden Hurricane come into this one looking to rebound from a 76-67 loss to UCF in their last game. Jeriah Horne leads the Golden Hurricane in scoring and rebounding with 16.2 PPG and 7 RPG while Sam Griffin has 15.1 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Tulsa up to this point in the season. Darien Jackson has 9.3 PPG and Anthony Pritchard’s chipping in a team-high 3.2 APG as well this season.

The USF Bulls will hope to snap a four-game losing streak after a 65-57 loss to East Carolina in their last game. Caleb Murphy leads the Bulls in scoring with 11.5 PPG as well as in assists with 3.2 APG as the lone double-digit scorer for USF so far this season. Javon Greene and Jamir Chaplin each have 9+ PPG while Russel Tchewa has a team-high 5.3 RPG to lead the Bulls on the boards this year.

Tulsa is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record. USF is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.
I get the case to be made either way here, but to be honest, I’m not sure you could set this total low enough. These are two of the least efficient offenses in the AAC and I could genuinely see this being a 57-54 type of game if we even get that high. Either way, Give me the under in this one.
