Green Wave Looking for Consistency on the Road
Tulane comes into this contest at 14-10 overall and 5-6 in AAC play, including a 5-6 conference road record. The Green Wave have won two of their last five games, recently defeating Temple 77-66 and Memphis 78-76, while falling to Wichita State 75-61, South Florida 97-83, and Charlotte 73-70. Tulane has shown flashes offensively but has struggled defensively in several of those losses.
The Green Wave average 73.4 points per game while allowing 74.4, which reflects their up-and-down performance. They shoot 43% from the field and pull down 30.9 rebounds per game. Tulane also averages 13.0 assists per contest, indicating decent ball movement in half-court sets.
One area Tulane does well is creating defensive disruption. They average 8.0 steals and 4.8 blocks per game, which can swing momentum quickly. However, their rebounding numbers are on the lower end, and that could present challenges against a physical UAB frontcourt.

Blazers Building Momentum at Home
UAB enters this matchup at 16-9 overall and 7-5 in AAC play, including a 7-5 conference home record. The Blazers have won four of their last five games, recently beating Tulsa 68-63, Rice 71-65, North Texas 72-68, and UTSA 83-73, with their only loss coming to Memphis 90-80. UAB has been competitive in conference play and has protected home court effectively.
The Blazers average 80.8 points per game while allowing 74.6. They shoot 44% from the field and dominate the glass with 41.1 rebounds per contest. UAB also averages 14.3 assists per game, showing balanced offensive execution.

Tulane Green Wave vs UAB Blazers Pick
Tulane Green Wave vs UAB Blazers Spread Pick
- Pick: UAB -6.5
UAB’s rebounding advantage and offensive balance give them a clear edge in this matchup. Tulane’s struggles on the glass and defensive inconsistencies could be exposed against a Blazers team averaging over 80 points per game. Playing at home, UAB is well-positioned to win comfortably and cover the spread.
Tulane Green Wave vs UAB Blazers Total Pick
- Pick: Over 152.5
I’m leaning toward the over in this one. UAB averages 80.8 points per game, and Tulane has been involved in several higher-scoring contests recently. With both teams capable of pushing tempo and creating turnovers, this matchup has the potential to reach the mid-150s.
Final Score Prediction: UAB 84, Tulane 75
