T.M. Selection: Tulsa.

I like Tulsa to cover the spread against Alcorn State in this game on Thursday. Tulsa has been having a rough year and they recently went into a slump but they won their most recent game and busted out of that funk with a nice home win. Tulsa has not been blowing out other teams this year and they have only won 1 game all year by this many points but that game was against Little Rock and they are playing a team here that is a lot worse than Little Rock. Alcorn State is a low scoring team that has been getting blown out by teams on multiple occasions and Tulsa has looked pretty good on defense lately. Tulsa has not given up 66+ points in 3 games in a row and Alcorn State has only put up that many points in 2 different games this year, and they were both their 1st 2 games of the year. Alcorn State has lost 3 games in a row all by 15+ points and all of those losses were against teams from the same conference as Tulsa. Alcorn State has already shown this year a repeated failure to win or even stay in their games against AAC teams and I think they are going to struggle heavily again in this game on the road. Alcorn State is already a low scoring team averaging under 65 ppg this year and I think Tulsa's defense is going to stunt them even more here. I like Tulsa to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 77-57 Tulsa.
