Tulane Men’s Basketball Welcomes Memphis on Wednesday T H E G R E E N WAV E R E T U R N S T O T H E H A R D F O R T H E F I R S T T I M E I N 2 1 D AY S STARTING FIVE 1. The Tulane University men’s basketball team returns to action for the first time in 21 days on Wednesday night to take on Memphis. Tulane’s home matchup with Memphis will mark the beginning of league play for both teams. The game will tipoff at 7 p.m. CT inside the Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.

2. The Green Wave enters their meeting with Memphis in the hopes of rebounding from their 86-72 set back to the College of Charleston back on Dec. 7 at home.

3. Tulane had each of its last three games (at Texas A&M - Dec. 14; vs. Grambling - Dec. 18; New Orleans - Dec. 21) cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols.

4. This season, Hunter’s staff welcomes back six letterwinners, six newcomers and three starters, including preseason All-American Athletic Conference honoree Jaylen Forbes. Forbes is one of three players on the team, averaging 10-or-more points per game. Freshman Jalen Cook leads the team with 19.0 points per game - a figure that ranks second in the American Athletic Conference. As a team, Tulane is averaging 72.1 points per game and connecting at a 44.8 percent clip.

5. The Green Wave have won the turnover battle in eight of their nine games this season. During the 2021-22 campaign, Tulane won the turnover battle in 19 of its 23 contests last season while also forcing opponents into at least 15 mishaps on 11 occasions. During the 2019-20 campaign, the Green Wave committed equal or fewer turnovers than its opponents in 28 of 30 contests while ranking in the top 15 nationally in turnover margin (+4.3).

THE SERIES • Tulane’s matchup with Memphis will mark the 71st all-time meeting between the two teams.

• The two teams met for the first time in program history back on Jan. 10, 1977. The Tigers picked up a 78-64 win over the Green Wave.

• Green Wave head coach Ron Hunter is 0-5 all-time against Memphis.

31

Tulane guard Jaylen Forbes has made 31 straight starts, dating back to last season. His 31 straight starts are the most on the team.

7

Seven of Tulane’s nine games this season have been decided by five points or less. In addition, Tulane is the ONLY team in the American Athletic Conference to have had seven of its games decided by five points or less.
