Final FAU-Tulane Prediction & Pick

Tulane is 14th in the nation in adjusted Tempo rate according to KenPom. Florida Atlantic is 201st in the nation. If Tulane can push the pace, this may be good for them. They are not as effecient on offense as FAU, but they do score well. They are a solid shooting team, and can also score from deep. Still, they are facing an FAU defense that is solid. They are one of the more effecient defenses in the nation. This is setting up to be a tight game overall. FAU has failed to cover in each of their last three games, and this could be another situation in which they do so again.

Final FAU-Tulane Prediction & Pick: Tulane +7.5 (-120)
