Chris’ Pick

Not one I’m rushing to bet between two teams with nothing but pride to play for, but I’ll roll with Tulsa if forced to pick. The Golden Hurricane have been able to keep themselves in games against some tougher opposition as of late, and the offense has been a lot more consistent for Tulsa. East Carolina struggled mightily against Navy and while they’ll have some success against Tulsa, I don’t think it’ll be enough here. Give me the Golden Hurricane.
