Tulane Green Wave Set to Host Florida Atlantic Owls at Devlin Fieldhouse in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to host the Florida Atlantic Owls at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of men's basketball. The upcoming match on January 12 is a pivotal moment for Tulane, as they look to capitalize on their home-court advantage and deliver a performance that resonates with victory.

Reflecting on the Green Wave's recent outings, there is much to be optimistic about. Despite a narrow loss against George Mason Patriots on December 22, where they scored 66 points compared to the Patriots' 69, Tulane showcased a tenacious defense with 12 steals and managed an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.5. Their resilience was evident as they fought hard throughout both halves.


However, it was their dominant display against Southern University Jaguars on December 16 that truly highlighted their potential. Scoring an overwhelming 105 points and shooting at an astounding field goal percentage of 66 shows just how lethal TULN can be when they find their rhythm. Their offensive prowess was matched by a robust defense that blocked seven shots and limited turnovers significantly.


The most telling performance came during the thrilling encounter with Furman Paladins on December 15. In what turned into an epic double-overtime battle, TULN emerged victorious with a scoreline of 117-110. This game not only tested their endurance but also showcased their ability to perform under pressure – qualities that will serve them well against FAU.


The Florida Atlantic Owls are no pushovers themselves; however, if recent form is anything to go by, TULN has shown more consistency in both offense and defense which could prove decisive in this matchup.


With these performances in mind, it’s clear that TULN has been building momentum despite some setbacks. They have demonstrated time and again that they possess both the skill and determination required to overcome challenges – traits necessary for triumphing over FAU.


Fans should mark their calendars for this must-watch event scheduled for January 12 at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans. The game will tip-off under the bright lights at midnight local time (7:00 PM Eastern Time) and will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN2 channel number 209 for those who wish to catch every moment live from wherever they are.
