Tulane will visit Houston here as they try to complete a big upset and beat the number one team in the nation in the Cougars. Tulane has had a great season up to this point. They are 17-7 overall and 10-3 in the American Athletic Conference which is good for second behind this Houston team. They have now won 10 of their last 12 games and five in a row. They have already secured their first season at 500 or above for the first time since they went 17-17 in 2013. Tulane has been good but shaky lately. Over the last six games, four of them have gone to overtime. They have been led by their guard Jalen Cook. He is averaging a ridiculous 24.5 points on 52% shooting over the last six games. Tulane is carried by their offense as they are the highest scoring team in their conference averaging 83.2 points per game. 

Houston is the number one team in the nation right now. They are 25-2 on the season and 13-1 in the conference. They have now won seven games in a row coming into this game and are a ridiculous 9-0 on the road. Their only losses this season were a puzzling one point loss to Temple and a six point loss to second ranked Alabama. If they win against Tulane they will guarantee themselves a share of the conference regular season title. The number one team in the nation will look for their eighth straight win here. 

I like Tulane in this one. Tulane has been surprisingly great this season and they are 5-2 on the road. They have won five in a row and get to face a Houston team that is on fire but when they have struggled this season they have struggled at home. The reason I like Tulane here is their track record ATS this season in conference games this season. Tulane is not only 10-3 SU in conference games but they are also 10-3 ATS. They are also 5-2 ATS as a road team this season. Tulane is also going to have three days of rest coming into this one. When they get 2-3 days of rest they are 9-4 ATS this season. I don’t think Houston loses this game but I do think this is a competitive conference matchup. 

Final Score Prediction:  Houston 77-70
