Tulane vs. Wichita State Prediction

I’m on Tulane and the points in this game. I have to give Wichita State credit for the run they’ve been on this season, but the problem I have here is that this is still a decent Tulane team in their own right that can hold its own in this game, and that has been in some pretty solid form themselves this season. Wichita State has been a team that just feels like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop with like the continued run of form isn’t sustainable for this team. I think that Tulane can have a shot to win it outright, so give me Tulane here.
