This one could get ugly. Tulane enters Sunday’s game on a three-game losing streak, including a loss to McNeese State, the 325th ranked team in the nation according to KenPom. The Green Wave is unquestionably the worst team in the American Athletic Conference and legitimately might not a win game the rest of the season.
Cincinnati (11-2, 1-0 AAC) opened conference play with a thrilling 56-50 win over Temple on Wednesday. Winning on the road is never easy, and winning in Philadelphia against a tournament-contending Temple team is especially difficult. The Bearcats lost to Temple twice last season, but a great performance from the Bearcats bench helped avenge those losses.
