Prediction: I like Memphis here to not only cover, but to beat Tulane by double digits. Memphis is more of a solid power 5 team playing against a smaller market team that can’t match up with the talent. The Tigers will have advantages from three point land and in offensive rebounding. The Green Wave is a poor team away from home only ranking 350th in home road splits while Memphis ranks 80th . Memphis has already went to Tulane and had won by double digits. Take the Tigers.
Memphis – 8.5 – 2 stars
