Betting Trends for vs
The Boise State Broncos haven’t had much of a problem scoring the basketball this season as they are scoring an average of 81 PPG, and I believe it will be tough for Tulsa to match that as they are only averaging 70.9 PPG. Boise State has a dynamic 6’9 guard in Derrick Alston as he is averaging 21.4 PPG and 6.4 RPG, but he isn’t the only guard that Boise State has as Justinian Jessup is pitching in 17.5 PPG. The Golden Hurricanes don’t have many scoring options outside of Brandon Rachal as they expect their defense to help win games, but the Boise State length will really affect the Golden Hurricanes in this matchup. It will be tough for Boise State to win on the road, but they are very experienced as they play 5 seniors which will help them edge out Tulsa. Final Score Prediction, Boise State Broncos win and cover ATS 73-70.
