Tulane's recent performance has been a mixed bag, but there are positive takeaways that suggest they could dominate against ULM. In their last game on November 23 against Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, despite falling short with a final score of 65-71, TULN displayed commendable defensive tenacity with 10 steals and an impressive free throw percentage of 88 percent. Their points off turnovers stood at an outstanding 27, indicating their ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing; TULN struggled beyond the arc with only a 28 percent success rate from three-point range. To secure victory against ULM, it’s crucial that they improve their long-range shooting while maintaining their aggressive defense.


The Warhawks should not be underestimated though. They will come into this game looking to exploit any weaknesses in TULN's armor. With both teams eager for a win, expect this encounter to be fiercely contested from tip-off till the final buzzer.


Looking back at TULN’s performance on November 22 during the Consolation Semifinals - Game 2 versus Rhode Island Rams shows that when they click offensively as they did scoring 78 points and shooting nearly 50 percent from the field – they can be formidable adversaries.


The key player matchups and tactical adjustments will undoubtedly influence this upcoming contest's outcome. Fans should anticipate seeing TULN leveraging their home-court advantage and channeling energy from previous successes like their strong showing in rebounding (24 total rebounds) and blocking (11 blocks) during their narrow victory over Rhode Island Rams by three points (78-75).


In conclusion, if Tulane can replicate its high-intensity defense while sharpening its offensive execution seen in past games like converting more second-chance points which stood at just four against Rhode Island Rams – then fans can look forward to potentially adding another win to this season’s tally.


Remember Green Wave supporters; mark your calendars for November 29th! The action unfolds at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans starting at sharp midnight local time (7 PM Eastern). Don’t miss out on cheering your team live or catch every dribble and dunk streaming on ESPN+.
