Tulane Green Wave vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane prediction
The Tulane Green Wave are far and away the more polished team on the offensive side, and nearly just upset FAU in its last performance. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are letting games get away from them lately, and they can’t be trusted against respectable teams. Tulsa still puts an honest effort together offensively, so this game could be close for a while, but Tulane and what we’ve seen lately suggests a run should be coming. I’ll lay the bucket with the Green Wave.
