Tulane Green Wave Set to Host Southern University Jaguars at Devlin Fieldhouse in Men's Basketball Showdown
As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to face off against the Southern University Jaguars at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans are eager for what promises to be an electrifying game of basketball. The upcoming match on December 16th is expected to showcase the Green Wave's prowess on their home court, where they have previously demonstrated a remarkable ability to control the game.
The recent performance of Tulane has been a testament to their offensive capabilities. In their last home game against Prairie View A&M Panthers on November 30th, Tulane scored an impressive 98 points, with a field goal percentage of 62 and free throw percentage of 75. Their dominance in points in paint stood out as they racked up 40 points, indicating a strong inside presence that could pose significant challenges for the Jaguars.
Moreover, Tulane's fast break execution was nothing short of spectacular during that game as they amassed 28 fast break points. This level of agility and speed will be crucial when facing Southern University Jaguars who will need to be wary of Tulane’s transition play.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for TULN; turnovers were an area that needed improvement as they gave up possession 19 times against Prairie View A&M Panthers. This could provide an opening for SOU if TULN doesn't tighten up their ball handling.
On defense, TULN showed tenacity with six steals and five blocks in that same game which should serve them well against SOU’s offense. The Green Wave will need this defensive intensity especially after coming off a tough loss against Mississippi State Bulldogs where they allowed over a hundred points (106) on December 9th.
The Jaguars are not opponents to take lightly though; any lapses in concentration from TULN could very well shift momentum in favor of SOU. Therefore maintaining focus throughout all four quarters will be paramount for TULN if they wish to secure victory at Devlin Fieldhouse.
With anticipation building up among fans and players alike, this matchup is set not just as another game but as a statement opportunity for both teams – particularly for the Green Wave who aim to rebound from their previous defeat and continue building upon their home court advantage.
Fans can catch this exciting encounter between Tulane Green Wave and Southern University Jaguars live from New Orleans on ESPN+ starting at 7:00 PM local time (CT) on December 16th. Don’t miss out on what promises to be an engaging battle filled with strategic plays and high energy from both sides!
