Tulane @ USC picks

Handicapping the Crown is much like college football Bowl Season, in which attention must be paid to the transfer portal. In this matchup, Ron Hunter’s squad will be affected most: losing two starters in Kaleb Banks (14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds) and Kam Williams (9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds).  Among Tulane players who see at least 11 minutes a game, Banks and Williams lead the team in a 2-point field goal percentage of 62.9% and 62.8%, respectively — nearly 10 points higher than any other teammate. There are enough questions here that I’m not blindly playing the Over because the trends say so. Instead, I’ll buy back the Under at an inflated price.
