How do you pronounce Tufts?

When I talk with people who know the school, I slur over the t so it’s like toughs. But then my family was confused and asked why I wanted to apply to such a tough school that toughs was its nickname. So if I’m not sure, I try to accentuate the second T. (Although this is kind of hard to do, and takes a lot longer to say Tufts than toughs)
