SMU is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 road games. The over is 4-0 in SMU’s last 4 games. Tulsa is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win. The under is 13-3 in Tulsa’s last 16 Wednesday games.The favorite is 5-2 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings. 

SMU is playing some really good basketball right now and has a much better offense than Tulsa does. SMU should also have the rebounding advantage in this game and a slight shooting advantage. The only thing going against the Mustangs here is that they are on the road. I like SMU to win.
