Tulsa at Illinois State

Tulsa has won two in a row, including 100-96 over Texas-San Antonio on Thursday when it shot 48.5 percent overall and connected on 10 of 25 from 3-point range. Junior Etou led the Golden Hurricane with 20 points, and Sterling Taplin added 18 points. Tulsa returns four starters from last year's squad as Frank Haith rebuilds the program in his third year as coach. Tulsa is seeking revenge for an earlier loss to Illinois State in a neutral site on Nov. 19, and the Redbirds are coming off a 30-point loss at Nevada on Wednesday while shooting only 42.9 percent and allowing the Wolfpack a .565 field goal percentage. Both teams allow nearly 43 percent shooting, but Tulsa has the edge on offense averaging 82.3 points per game compared to 72.3 for the Redbirds. Play Tulsa on the moneyline.
