Tulane Green Wave vs. South Florida Bulls Predictions

The South Florida Bulls are enjoying a historic season, having clinched their first regular-season conference championship and entering the game with a 14-game winning streak, the longest in school history. The Bulls’ success has been a team effort, but guard Chris Youngblood has been a standout performer, leading the team with an average of 15.0 points per game. South Florida’s defense has also been a key to their success, holding opponents to an average of just 75.3 points per game.

On the other side, the Tulane Green Wave are in a slump, having lost their last six games. Despite their recent struggles, Tulane boasts a potent offense, averaging 82.6 points per game, which ranks 24th nationally. Forward Kevin Cross has been the engine for the Green Wave, leading the team in points (17.4 per game), rebounds (7.1 per game), and assists (4.5 per game). Tulane’s ability to score in bunches could pose a challenge to South Florida’s stout defense.

This game will also feature a battle of contrasting styles, with South Florida’s defense going up against Tulane’s high-scoring offense. The Bulls will look to control the pace and use their home-court advantage at the Yuengling Center to extend their win streak. Meanwhile, Tulane will aim to leverage their offensive firepower to secure a much-needed conference victory and end their losing streak. With both teams eager to assert their strengths, this AAC showdown is set to be a compelling contest.

Tulane Green Wave vs. South Florida Bulls Pick

The South Florida Bulls have been dominant at home this season, boasting a 14-2 record at the Yuengling Center. Their defense has been particularly impressive, allowing an average of just 75.3 points per game. With a 14-game winning streak on the line and the momentum of a historic season behind them, the Bulls have shown they can handle the pressure and come out on top. The team’s ability to spread the scoring and play tenacious defense makes them a formidable opponent, especially on their home court.

While the Tulane Green Wave have a strong offense, averaging 82.6 points per game, their recent form shows vulnerability, with a six-game losing streak and a 2-7 record on the road. The Green Wave’s defense has been less than stellar, and against a disciplined South Florida team, it’s likely that their struggles will continue. Considering the Bulls’ impressive against the spread (ATS) record of 18-7 and their ability to consistently perform as favorites, the smart money is on South Florida to continue their winning ways and secure a victory at home.

The Pick: South Florida Bulls -300. (FanDuel)
