Down Year for Tulsa? 

It looks like it could be a down year for Tulsa and they currently sit under .500. In the last game against Oklahoma State they scored only 55 points and that led to the defeat. Tulsa shot 36.2 percent from the field and 20.8 percent from behind the three-point line. Dwon Odom was the top offensive player putting up 12 points, five rebounds, and one assist. Tulsa on the season is averaging 75 points while their defense is giving up 76.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 201st in the league while the defense is ranked 302nd. In this game, the defense needs to step up early. Tulsa will face UCF and Mississippi Valley State following this one.

Southern Has Won Two Straight Games 

Southern is playing well now and they have won two straight games. In the last game against Louisiana Tech, Southern scored 73 points and they ended up winning by three points. Jordan Johnson had a strong game putting up 21 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Southern on the season is averaging 85.7 points while their defense is giving up 70.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 21st in the league, while the defense is ranked 174th. Guard Jordan Johson has been the top player for Southern averaging 10.9 points while shooting 39.4 percent from the field. Southern will meet Ole Miss after this game.

Southern vs Tulsa Prediction

This total is too high. I am still not sold on this Tulsa offense and that is going to be the difference here. In the last game, they scored only 55 points and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going again here. Southern is averaging 85.7 points and although they will score, they aren’t going to 80 and that will be the difference here. Back the under to cash here with ease.
