Tulane Green Wave Betting Preview

The Tulane Green Wave are 11-9 (5-2) this year after they defeated Rice by a score of 82-71 in their last game. Tulane trailed 37-36 at halftime, but they scored 46 points in the second half for the win. The Green Wave shot 51.8% from the field, 21.4% on three-pointers, and 77.8% on free throws in the game.

Tulane is shooting 44.8% from the field, 77.2% on free throws, and 34.9% on three-pointers this season. 

Memphis Tigers Betting Preview

The Memphis Tigers are 16-4 (6-1) this season after they defeated UAB by a score of 100-77 in their last game. Memphis led 52-39 at halftime and added 48 points in the second half in the blowout win. The Tigers shot 62.3% from the field, 52.9% on three-pointers, and 60% on free throws in the game. PJ Haggerty led Memphis with 23 points and nine assists, while Dain Dainja added 21 points and eight rebounds in the win.

Why Memphis will beat Tulane

  • Memphis has won 12 of its last 13 games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
  • Tulane has lost 14 of its last 15 Thursday night games against the American Athletic Conference.
  • Tulane has lost the first half in each of its last 13 night games against AP-ranked opponents.

Tulane vs Memphis Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup battling toward the top of the AAC standings, but Tulane will be at home. The Green Wave have won three of their last four games, but they are shooting just 44.8% from the field this year. Memphis is 6-1 in conference play and they are ranked #19 in the country, but their one conference loss so far came against Temple on the road. The Tigers are shooting 47.3% from the field this year and they are scoring 79 points per game. Memphis has been on a roll over the last five weeks, which includes wins over Clemson and Ole Miss. I do think Tulane will be able to hang around for the first half, but Memphis is going to pull away with their high-scoring offense. Take the Tigers to cover.
