UTSA vs. Tulsa Prediction

I’m on UTSA here. This game is a true coin flip, but in a spot like this I want the team that’s going to hit their free throws and that’s UTSA. The Roadrunners are the best free throw shooting team in the conference and they also do a good job of taking care of the basketball and forcing turnovers so I think the Roadrunners will be able to get out in transition and speed up this Tulsa defense that’s had more than it’s fair share of problems as of late. UTSA’s had some bad breaks in conference play, but I think the Roadrunners get the better of it here. Give me UTSA on the road in this one.
