Tulane returns home favored by roughly eight to nine points, but an 0-2 ATS start meets a Nicholls squad that forced 17 turnovers at UAB. Rebounding and perimeter efficiency could decide the cover.

Injury Report
Available matchup injury listings show no reported injuries for either team ahead of this game. That does not guarantee every player is available, particularly early in the college basketball season when status reporting may be limited. No verified injury-related absence or minutes restriction currently justifies adjusting the matchup outlook. Confirm official team updates and starting lineups closer to tip-off before relying on availability assumptions.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Tulane has the home-court and recent head-to-head advantage, but its defense surrendered 98 and 87 points in its first two games. Nicholls recorded 12 steals while holding turnovers to eight at UAB. If that pressure creates extra possessions, the underdog can stay inside the spread despite its shaky outside shooting.
3 Things to Watch
- Nicholls ball pressure against Tulane guards
- Colonels rebounding after the UAB defeat
- Tulane perimeter shooting and late-game defense
Betting Breakdown
Nicholls visits Tulane on November 10 in an early-season matchup between two 1-1 teams. Tulane opened with a 100-98 double-overtime victory over UT Martin before falling 87-85 to Jackson State, producing an 0-2 start against the spread. Nicholls demolished North American 110-56, then lost 70-63 at UAB. The Colonels forced 17 turnovers and committed only eight in Birmingham, but shot 23-of-72 overall and 8-of-35 from three. They were also outrebounded 50-38. Those numbers define the upset path: create transition chances and avoid another cold perimeter night. Tulane has the stronger historical series record, winning seven of eight documented meetings, including an 82-72 win last November. Market prices have generally installed the Green Wave as an eight- to nine-point favorite, with totals around 151.5. Tulane has cleared 85 points in both outings, but has also allowed opponents to reach at least 87. The key question is whether the Green Wave can finish defensive possessions and separate from a disruptive opponent without giving away extra opportunities.
Nicholls State Betting Outlook
Nicholls has shown two very different offensive profiles. The Colonels scored 110 against North American but managed only 63 at UAB, where they shot 31.9% from the floor and 22.9% beyond the arc. AJ Dent led the UAB effort with 14 points and seven rebounds, while Sheridan Sharp added seven assists and six rebounds. Nicholls forced 17 turnovers, registered 12 steals, and committed only eight turnovers itself. That disruptive style gives the underdog a plausible route to competitive stretches. However, a 50-38 rebounding deficit at UAB highlights the need for cleaner box-outs, particularly against a Tulane team capable of creating points quickly.
Tulane Betting Outlook
Tulane begins this contest 1-1 after two high-scoring home games. The Green Wave needed double overtime to beat UT Martin 100-98, then dropped an 87-85 decision to Jackson State. Both results failed to cover the spread. Carson Schwieger and TJ Nadeau scored 16 apiece against Jackson State, while Tyler Ringgold added 13 points and eight rebounds. Tulane is favored at home and has won seven of its eight documented meetings with Nicholls. Still, the defense has allowed 185 total points across two games, making a comfortable victory far from automatic. Better defensive rebounding and consistent perimeter execution would help justify the market spread.
