Tulane Men’s Basketball Welcomes Tulsa on Wednesday G R E E N WAV E T O W E L C O M E G O L D E N H U R R I C A N E F O R A N 8 P. M . T I P O F F
STARTING FIVE 1. The Tulane University men’s basketball team will look to snap its two-game losing streak as it welcomes Tulsa to Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse on Wednesday. Tulane’s home contest with Tulsa will mark the Golden Hurricane’s first trip to New Orleans since 2020. The game will tipoff at 8 p.m. CT and will be aired live on ESPNU. 2. The Green Wave enters their meeting with Tulsa in the hopes of bouncing back from a hard fought 68-66 setback this past Saturday at UCF. The Green Wave will look to improve to 5-3 in league play for the first time ever since joining the American Athletic Conference for the start of the 2014-15 campaign. 3. Since joining the AAC in 2014-15, Tulane has only won five conference games on three occasions. 4. This season, head coach Ron 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 19.3 points per game - a figure that ranks second in the American Athletic Conference. As a team, Tulane is averaging 71.9 points per game and connecting at a 43.9 percent clip. 5.The Green Wave have won the turnover battle in 13 of their 16 games this season. During the 2020-21 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 Tulsa will mark the 33rd all-time meeting between the two teams. • The two teams met for the first time in program history back on Dec. 13, 1980. In that game, the Green Wave suffered a 102-85 loss to Tulsa. • Green Wave head coach Ron Hunter is 2-2 all-time against Tulsa.
