Memphis vs Tulane Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup below .500 in conference play, but Tulane will be at home. The Green Wave are shooting 43% from the field and they have allowed 89+ points in three straight games. Memphis is shooting 43% from the field as well and they have allowed 84+ in four of their last five. Neither team is playing defense right now, but the offenses have been decent, so I think we will see a higher scoring game. Take the over in this one.
