LosemaG tneceoked Up Recent Games
First thing I did was check out how both teams have been playing lately. I just googled "Memphis basketball recent games" and "Tulsa basketball recent games." I wanted to see if they were on a winning streak, losing streak, or kinda back and forth.
Checked the Scores
I didn't just want to see wins and losses, I wanted to see the actual scores. Were the games close? Were they blowouts? That gives you a feel for how strong the teams are.
Compared Head-to-Head
This is important. Sometimes a team just has another team's number. So, I searched for "Memphis vs Tulsa basketball history" to see how they've done against each other in the past.
Considered Injuries
- Next up, I thought about injuries. Are any key players out? That can make a HUGE difference. I looked at any sports news to be informed if there were any injuries.
Home vs. Away
Home court advantage is a real thing. Teams usually play better at home. So, I checked where the game was being played.
Made My Best Guess (and Tracked It!)
After all that, I took a shot at predicting the winner and even the score.I used the knowledge that I had gathered. I wrote down my prediction so I can see how I did later. That's the only way to get better, right?
It's all about getting a feel for the teams and seeing what the numbers and recent history tell you.
