The Tulane Green Wave set the tone early on, ending the first half with a commanding lead of 46-29. Their dominance continued into the second half as they racked up an additional 42 points against their opponents. The Buffalo Bulls managed to add only 34 points in their second-half effort.


The home team showcased remarkable accuracy from both inside and outside the arc. The Green Wave shot an impressive 47 percent from the field and were particularly effective from three-point range, hitting nearly 38 percent of their attempts. Their two-point field goal percentage was also noteworthy at over 54 percent.


Defensively, Tulane was just as formidable, with a total of four blocks and eleven steals contributing to their robust defensive performance. They capitalized on turnovers by scoring nineteen points off them while maintaining control with only five turnovers themselves.


The Buffalo Bulls struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game, shooting just over 31 percent from the field and making only four out of sixteen three-point attempts for a mere 25 percent success rate. Despite pulling down forty-nine rebounds compared to Tulane's thirty-four, they couldn't convert these opportunities into sufficient points on the board.


Buffalo did show proficiency from the free-throw line with a solid performance making seventy-five percent of their shots but it wasn't enough to close down Tulane's lead or shift momentum in favor of them.


Looking ahead for fans of The Tulane Green Wave: The team is scheduled for another exciting matchup against George Mason Patriots at United Center in Chicago on December seventeenth at eight-thirty PM Eastern Time. This upcoming game will not be broadcasted but fans can follow live updates and coverage through various sports news outlets.
