What to Know

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Tulsa and the South Florida Bulls will face off in an American Athletic battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Yuengling Center. South Florida will be strutting in after a win while the Golden Hurricane will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The contest between Tulsa and the UCF Knights on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Tulsa falling 68-49 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Brandon Betson wasn't much of a difference maker for Tulsa; Betson finished with ten points on 3-for-10 shooting and turned the ball over five times in his 35 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Bulls came out on top in a nail-biter against the SMU Mustangs this past Saturday, sneaking past 71-67. Guard Tyler Harris took over for South Florida, finishing with 30 points (a whopping 42% of their total).

The Golden Hurricane are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 6-16-1 ATS when expected to lose.

Tulsa's loss took them down to 5-23 while South Florida's victory pulled them up to 13-16. In their victory, the Bulls relied heavily on Harris, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 30 points. Tulsa will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
