What to Know
The Boise State Broncos will be playing at home against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at 9 p.m. ET on Friday. Boise State is the favorite here — although they were the favorites in their last contest, too, so the odds might count for a little less.
The Broncos were close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 86-82 to the Saint Louis Billikens. Guard Emmanuel Akot wasn’t much of a difference maker for Boise State; Akot finished with ten points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 39 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Tulsa came up short against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles on Monday, falling 87-80.
This next game looks promising for Boise State, who are favored by a full 10 points. They may be expected to win, but bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.
Boise State is now 3-4 while the Golden Hurricane sit at a mirror-image 4-3. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Broncos have only been able to knock down 40.50% percent of their shots, which is the 44th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Tulsa has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.30% from the floor on average, which is the 40th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
