Memphis vs Tulane Prediction & Pick

This game features two of the best offenses in the country. Memphis averages 79.5 PPG (No. 18) while Tulane is slightly ahead with an 80.8 PPG clip (No. 11). The Tigers are the more accurate team, though. They shoot 48.1% from the floor (No. 16) and 34.9% from three (No. 136), whereas the Green Wave boast 46.7% field-goal (No. 45) and 34.4% three-point percentages (No. 160).

At the end of the day, this game will come to which side gets more stops. In that case, I like Memphis' odds. The Tigers know how to end possessions, proven by their averaging 35.5 rebounds per game (T-No. 107) while forcing turnovers on 20.6% of opposing possessions (No. 41).

With the defensive advantage on its side, expect Memphis to capitalize on Tulane's mistakes en route to victory.

Final Score Prediction: Memphis: 84 | Tulane: 80

Memphis vs Tulane Best Bet

Any fans of high-scoring affairs will love this game. On top of each boasting a top-20 offense, Memphis and Tulane tend to hit the over more often than not. For the Green Wave, the over is 5-1 in their last six games and 16-4 in their previous AAC tilts. Meanwhile, the over has hit in 56.3% of the Tigers' games this season.

Considering how Memphis and Tulane have averaged 182 points in their previous matchups this season, I'd be shocked if there weren't fireworks at Dickies Arena.

Bet: Over 161.5 Points (-105)
