Tulane Green Wave Hosts Nicholls State Colonels at Devlin Fieldhouse in Men's Basketball Showdown
As the Tulane Green Wave prepares to host the Nicholls State Colonels at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an engaging Men's Basketball game. The Green Wave enters this matchup with a solid foundation from the previous season, showcasing a team that has honed its skills on both ends of the court.
Last season, Tulane displayed a commendable shooting efficiency with an overall field goal percentage rounded to 46 percent. Their prowess was not limited to just field goals; they also excelled at free throws with an impressive 78 percent completion rate. This level of accuracy from the charity stripe can be pivotal in close games and is something that fans can hope continues into this upcoming contest.
The true shooting percentage, which takes into account two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws, stood at 57 percent for Tulane—a testament to their effective scoring ability. From beyond the arc, they managed a three-point percentage of 34 percent while maintaining a more robust two-point percentage of 53 percent.
Defensively, Tulane was active last season averaging over four blocks and eight steals per game which contributed significantly to their defensive solidity. On average per game basis last season: points scored were nearly 80; assists were tallied at about 16; rebounds collected were just shy of 30; personal fouls committed averaged around 16; turnovers stood at approximately eleven.
The venue itself—Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans—has been known as a fortress for Tulane and could play into their hands as they look to capitalize on home-court advantage against Nicholls State Colonels.
Fans eager to see if Tulane can carry forward its momentum from last season should mark their calendars for November 7th when these two teams face off at Devlin Fieldhouse starting from midnight local time (2:00 AM UTC). The action will be broadcast live on ESPN+, ensuring supporters won't miss any part of what is expected to be an exhilarating encounter.
