What to Know
The Cincinnati Bearcats and the Tulane Green Wave are set to square off in an American Athletic matchup at 9 p.m. ET Dec. 29 at Fifth Third Arena. The Bearcats are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
The stars were brightly shining for Cincinnati in a 72-54 win over the Detroit Titans last week. Cincinnati got double-digit scores from four players: forward Viktor Lakhin (18), guard Mika Adams-Woods (11), guard Landers Nolley II (11), and guard David DeJulius (10).
Meanwhile, everything went Tulane’s way against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils last Wednesday as they made off with an 84-63 victory.
Cincinnati is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. They are currently seven-for-seven against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Their wins bumped Cincinnati to 9-4 and the Green Wave to 7-4. Viktor Lakhin will be someone to keep an eye on after he dropped a double-double on 18 points and 15 boards last Wednesday. Let’s see if he can build on that strong performance or if Tulane’s defense can bottle him up.
