The Tulane Green Wave will go against the #18 Houston Cougars in an American Athletic Conference Semifinal clash in Dickies Arena Fort Worth, TX, on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 3:00 PM (EST). Tulane moved to 14-14 on the year with a 69-60 victory against Temple in the AAC Tournament quarterfinals.

Tulane Green Wave vs Houston Cougars Predictions 3/12/2022

When the season began, the Houston Cougars were precisely where they intended to be. They’re in the semifinals of their league tournament, chasing a league title and a good NCAA Tournament seed. They didn’t anticipate doing all of this without two of their top scorers, though.

The Cougars, on the other hand, adapted and adjusted, and their versatility was on display in their quarterfinal victory over Cincinnati. After falling down 32-27 at halftime, the Cougars rallied, adjusted, and relied on their senior big man, Damian White, in the second half to pull away from the Bearcats and victory 69-56.

The Cougars did what they do best in their two victories against Tulane this season: suffocate the Green Wave’s offense and force poor shots. In the two matches, the Cougars shot 48 percent of the time and made 18 three-point field goals.

The number of fouls Houston committed in the two matches, permitting the Green Wave to collect over 40 free throws combined, was one source of worry.

The University of Cougars is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral-site matches.
The Cougars are 5-1 ATS in their previous 6 matches overall.
The total went under in 4-0-1 of the Cougars’ last 5 matches overall.

Tulane Green Wave vs #18 Houston Cougars. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #18 Houston Cougars. The beauty of the Cougars’ domination this year, particularly in the AAC, is that they are dominating comfortably. They are rated 5th overall by KenPom, with the 14th and 13th most efficient offense and defense, respectively.

Because Houston does not have a big bench, the top six players are extremely well-conditioned and dominating. The Cougars have the best field goal percentage defense in the country, and Tulane’s offense isn’t capable of countering that.

Houston’s depth will come back to bother them against deeper, more skilled teams, as I’ve stated previously, but Tulane is not one of those teams. Houston will dictate the tempo, challenge shots, and pull away by scoring easy points in the lane. The no.18 Houston Cougars will win by a predicted score of 74-61.
