Tulane vs Furman Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 3-0 records to start the season, but Tulane has been great defensively. The Green Wave has allowed 52.3 points per game through three games, but they are only shooting 44.7% from the field. Furman’s defense has also been solid, but they are shooting over 52% from the field. This should be a pretty decent game to watch, but I will side with the better shooting team. Take Furman.
