They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws, while the Tigers make less than 70 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab nine offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Tigers aren’t very good defensively, and they give up more than 80 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Golden Hurricane. Take Tulsa to cover the spread.
