South Florida vs Tulane Prediction 

South Florida comes into this matchup looking to stay undefeated in conference play, and they have won four games in a row. The Bulls have scored 88 or more points in three of their last four games and they are scoring nearly 80 points per game on the season. South Florida has had issues on defense, where they are allowing 73.7 points per game, but they have been better on this winning streak. Tulane has won three of their last four games, but they are shooting only 44.1% from the field. The Green Wave have beaten up two of the lesser teams in the conference in their two wins, so it will be interesting to see how they hold up here. This should be a pretty entertaining game, but I think South Florida could easily get the win, so give me the points here.
