(NCAAB) Houston vs. Tulane,
Point Spread: 11.00 | -110.00 Tulane (Home)
Result: Loss
This is Tulane's game of the year. I can see the Green Wave keeping this one closer than the oddsmaker believes.

Tulane is 12-5, including 5-1 in the American Athletic Conference, and has won five in a row.

Houston gave up a season-high 77 points in a six-point victory against South Florida last Wednesday. The Cougars were 23 1/2-point home favorites in that contest.

The Cougars were missing their second-leading scorer, Jarace Walker, and key reserve Ramon Walker Jr. Walker is likely to play while Walker Jr. remains out.
