My Prediction
Memphis Tigers by 7In a tale as old as time, we have the Memphis Tigers squaring off against the Tulane Green Wave, which, fun fact, is not actually a wave of shrubbery as the name might suggest.
On the Tigers side, we have the indomitable PJ Haggerty, a man, who over the last month, has been making the scoreboard blush averaging 22.1 points per game. Let's not forget his cohort, Tyrese Hunter, who has been nipping at Haggerty's heels with a still impressive 14.6 points per game. Their third musketeer, Dain Dainja, does not play around when he's on the court, averaging 6.1 rebounds per game.
On the Green Wave's side, there's a genuinely entertaining saga unfolding between Rowan Brumbaugh and Kaleb Banks. They're having a friendly neighborhood dispute of who can score more, and it's safe to say the neighborhood is loving it. Each averaged 16.9 points per game last month. But, hey, let's not forget Gregg Glenn, who seems to have a magnetic attraction to the basketball, pulling down 6.9 rebounds per game.
As for previous encounters, let's just say these teams have a history that rivals some of the best soap operas. Memphis has three wins, Tulane has two, and well, we've all got our calculators out ready to keep count.
In terms of recent form, the Tigers have been prowling the court with gusto, losing just one of their last five games as opposed to the Green Wave, who's faced a defeat in two of their last five. The season records reads in the Tigers' favor as well—16 wins to 4 losses, versus Tulane's 11 wins to 9 losses. And while we're at it, the AP ranking seems to have a fondness for Memphis, ranking them at #19 while the Green Wave got to enjoy a beautiful view from #0 spot.
So, after a long analysis filled with bad puns and exaggerated metaphors, I’d say, brace yourself for an electrifying game. If I were a betting man, which my doctor has repeatedly advised against for health reasons, I’d put my money on...
