Tulane vs Florida Atlantic Prediction
Tulane had a great season in the AAC this year, as they were able to secure a top four finish, and they will be looking to build on that momentum here. The Green Wave have won three of their last four games and they have scored at least 78 points in all three of those wins. Florida Atlantic has also won three of their last four games and their defense has been very solid, as they have allowed 63 points or fewer in each of those three wins. Tulane did beat FAU by a score of 80-65 in their first meeting and I like them to get another win here. Florida Atlantic struggled to get by lowly Charlotte on Thursday and I think this Tulane offense will be too much. Take the Green Wave here.
