North Texas vs Tulsa Prediction
Tulsa rolls into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they have scored 83+ in all four of those games. The Golden Hurricane are shooting 49% from the field and they are one of the top teams in the American. North Texas has won two of their last three games, but they are shooting just 43% from the field. The Mean Green play great defense, but their offense is very low scoring. These two teams play two different styles, but I think Tulsa will control the pace. Take the over here.
