The Tulane Green Wave has a 14-12 record as they take on UTEP at home. While the Wave has not fared well on the road, they have been an impressive 10-3 at home. What they have been able to do here is utilize the energy of the home crowd to play very sticky defense in the first half of their home games. Tulane has not allowed any team in their last seven home tilts to score more than 31 points, and have given up an average of just 26 a game in the first half. UTEP has been 5-1 on the road this season, and they have packed the defense, as their last two opponents they faced on the road did not get out of the 40s. Look for a defensive first half in this one, so make the play on the first half UNDER.
