Clash at Devlin Fieldhouse: Tulane Green Wave Hosts George Mason Patriots in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Tulane Green Wave prepares to host the George Mason Patriots at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans can anticipate an exciting men's basketball game. The venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere, could play a significant role in boosting the home team's performance.

Tulane has displayed a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Mississippi State Bulldogs at State Farm Arena, they fell short with 76 points to the Bulldogs' commanding 106. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; Tulane managed a field goal percentage of 42 and converted two-thirds of their free throws. They also showed defensive prowess with 10 steals but will need to work on reducing turnovers and increasing assist-to-turnover ratio.

However, looking back at previous games provides a more encouraging picture for Tulane fans. Against Prairie View A&M Panthers at Devlin Fieldhouse itself, they secured an impressive win with 98 points over the Panthers' 77. Their field goal percentage was an outstanding 62 percent and they excelled from both two-point range (73 percent) and free-throw line (75 percent). This victory showcased their ability to dominate offensively when playing on home turf.

In another notable performance away against Fordham Rams, Tulane triumphed with 89 points against Fordham's 81. Their shooting was efficient from both inside (55 percent from two-point range) and outside (50 percent three-pointers), while also capitalizing on free throws with a high conversion rate of approximately three-quarters.

The upcoming game is set for December 22nd at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans where fans can catch live action on ESPN+. With recent performances indicating strong offensive capabilities especially at home court advantage – it promises to be an engaging match-up as Tulane looks to capitalize on their strengths and rally behind the support of their fans.
