I'm on Tulane +4.5. They already beat ECU 86-81 a couple of weeks ago, and nothing suggests ECU is suddenly going to flip the script. The Green Wave shot 48% from the field, 39% from three, and got to the free-throw line 29 times in that win. Meanwhile, ECU has one of the worst three-point defenses in the country (361st), and Tulane should have no problem getting open again.
ECU has won games lately, but they’ve failed to cover three straight and rely too much on their top three scorers. Tulane is the deeper, more balanced team, and their defense has been more consistent. This is a tight matchup, but +4.5 is too many points in a game Tulane could win outright.
