Prediction published on 1/18/26, 1:31 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/18/26 at 10:58 PM in NCAA Men Picks

The Tulane Green Wave (12-5, 3-1 American) will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they face the North Texas Mean Green (10-7, 1-3 American). This American Athletic Conference contest is set to get underway at 5 p.m. EST at the Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans, LA, with coverage provided by ESPN2.

When conference play got underway for Tulane, the Green Wave had a 9-4 record and a two-game win streak. They had looked competent in nonconference play but never strung together more than three wins in a row. But with a two-game streak in their pocket, Tulane rattled off three wins to open AAC play and improve to 12-4, 3-0. But then they came back down to Earth a little in their last game, a harsh loss to UAB (82-69), their first conference loss of the season. As for North Texas, the Mean Green, like Tulane, entered AAC play with a 9-4 record in nonconference action. But things did not go nearly as well for them once conference play got underway, starting with a 57-48 loss to Memphis. They followed it with a win over Tulsa but have since dropped a game to USF (74-70) and, most recently, to Wichita State (78-67) last Sunday.
