East Carolina vs. Tulane Prediction

I’m on East Carolina in this game. I get the case to be made either way here as both teams are playing fairly well as of late and I get that Tulane is at home here where they’ve played their better basketball this season. However, I just really think you’re splitting hairs with these two teams side-by-side and I think they match up fairly well, so in a situation like this I like to have as many points as I can get in my back pocket. I could easily see this game coming down to which team gets the final shot so I’ll take the free bucket with East Carolina in this one.
