Tulane vs Charlotte Prediction
Tulane was able to run by Memphis on Wednesday to advance to the 2nd Round of the American Tournament, while Charlotte had a bye. The Green Wave are shooting 43% from the field and they have allowed 89+ points in four of their last five games. Charlotte is shooting 46% from the field and they have allowed 77+ in four straight. I don’t trust either defense in this matchup, but with Tulane only shooting 43% from the field, I have to side with Charlotte to cover here.
