Memphis at Tulane picks and predictions

Prediction

Memphis 88, Tulane 86

Moneyline

BET MEMPHIS (-150).

Memphis is 9-1 in its last 10 overall and 4-1 vs. conference opponents while Tulane is 5-5 in its last 10 and 2-3 vs. American Athletic opponents. Memphis has also won 7 of its last 10 matchups vs. the Green Wave, who will meet again on Feb. 11 in Tennessee.

Against the spread

LEAN TULANE +2.5 (-102).

Tulane has covered ATS in 2 of its last 3 meetings vs. Memphis and holds the 6-4 ATS lead in the last 10. Tulane is 7-8-1 ATS this year while Memphis is 7-11 ATS.

Tulane's offense that averages 86.1 PPG will keep the Green Wave in the game, but their defensive struggles will keep them from winning.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 166.5 (-110). 

The Over is 2-1 in Memphis' last 3 games and 6-3-1 in the last 10. The Over has hit in 2 of Tulane's last 3 games. The Over is also a safer play for both teams, the Tigers being 11-6-1 and the Green Wave at 10-6. The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Memphis-Tulane matchups.

Even as both of these squads average north of 80 PPG, this is only a lean because an Over number of 166.5 is a little high for college basketball.
