Tulsa vs. Tulane Key Player to Watch

Rowan Brumbaugh, G - Tulane Green Wave

The key to beating Tulane is finding a way to shut down Rowan Brumbaugh. He does it all for the Green Wave, leading the teams in points per game (18.9), rebounds (5.0), assists (3.6), and steals (1.7). If Tulsa shuts him down, Tulane doesn't have another player to lean on that can take over the game like Brumbaugh can.

Tulsa vs. Tulane Prediction and Pick

I can't trust this Tulane team in this spot. Its only strong player is Brumbaugh, and the Green Wave doesn't have the shooting to hang with Tulsa. Tulane ranks just 223rd in effective field goal percentage, while Tulsa ranks 15th. The Golden Hurricane is one of the best shooting teams in the country, and they're coming off a performance where they rocked an eFG% of 63.5%.

Tulane's rebounding is also a real problem. The Green Wave ranks 357th in the country in rebounding, grabbing just 44.4% of boards. Meanwhile, Tulsa ranks 40th in that metric, grabbing 53% of boards.

If the Golden Hurricane shoots well while winning the rebounding battle, they have a strong chance of cruising to victory.

Pick: Tulsa -4.5 (-110)
