UTSA vs Tulsa Prediction 

Tulsa comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, but they are a massive favorite to win at home. The Golden Hurricane are shooting 48% from the field and they have scored at least 77 points in three of their last five games. UTSA is just 1-13 in conference play this year and they are allowing nearly 80 points against per game. The Roadrunners are shooting 40% from the field and they have allowed 79+ in four of their last five. I think Tulsa will win this game easily, but I can’t lay this many points with a struggling team. Take UTSA here.
