What to Know

The Tulane Green Wave and the Temple Owls are set to square off in an American Athletic matchup at 2 p.m. ET March 5 at Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

This past Friday, the Green Wave narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the East Carolina Pirates 81-78. Tulane relied on the efforts of guard Jaylen Forbes, who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 25 points, and guard Jalen Cook, who had 19 points and eight assists.

Speaking of close games: things were close when Temple and the UCF Knights clashed this past Thursday, but Temple ultimately edged out the opposition 57-55.

Tulane is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

Tulane is now 18-10 while the Owls sit at 16-14. The Green Wave are 10-7 after wins this season, Temple 8-7.
