Tulane started the year at 9-5 with losses to Nevada, Western KY, Fordham, George Mason and Cincinnati. The Wave are 3-1 since then with wins over Temple, SMU and UCF before a loss to Houston. 

Matched up against Houston on Tuesday, the Wave were down 40-32 by the break. Tulane couldn’t get any closer on a 40-28 second-half deficit and lost 80-60. Jaylen Forbes put up 23 points and Jalen Cook had 15 points.

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stay with Tulane. The last time these teams met up was back on January 4 in a 93-77 win for the Wave. Tulane shot a nice 55.2 percent from the floor in that one but got out-rebounded 34-28 (8-3 offensive). Tulane has been scoring very well during this current 5-1 run and I think they’ll hang a good total here as well. As for Tulsa, they’ve hit 67 or more points in five straight games but have no wins to show for it. I don’t think this matchup will be all that different.
