The Tulane Green Wave look to continue their recent success tonight when they travel to The Super Pit to take on the North Texas Mean Green.

This game should be a tight affair, and my Tulane vs. North Texas predictions and college basketball picks explain why points will be difficult to come by for both teams on Thursday, February 19.

Tulane vs North Texas prediction

Tulane vs North Texas best bet: Under 136.5 (-110)

Get ready for a rock fight between two teams that play at a slow pace and are much better defensively than offensively. 

The North Texas Mean Green rank 305th in adjusted tempo and 301st in adjusted offensive efficiency. They shoot just 25.4% from deep and rarely get to the charity stripe. But they rank 24th nationally in blocked shot rate. 

The Tulane Green Wave defense ranks second in eFG% in the league and 22nd in blocked shot rate. Tulane also rarely grabs offensive rebounds. 
 
The Under is 12-5 in Tulane’s last 17 games. Look for that trend to continue.

Tulane vs North Texas same-game parlay

North Texas is one of the worst offensive teams in college basketball, but it managed to beat Tulane by eight in their earlier meeting. That’s because the Green Wave shot just 31.3% from the floor.

The Mean Green are solid defensively, but that defensive performance was an outlier even for them. I also don’t see North Texas repeating the 3-point output from that game. Look for this meeting to be much tighter come the final horn.
