Tulane Green Wave Set to Surge Against UAB Blazers at Bartow Arena
As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to face off against the UAB Blazers at Bartow Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying encounter. The Green Wave's recent performances have been nothing short of a rollercoaster, but there's reason to believe that they could ride the momentum into their upcoming game on January 17th.
In their last outing on January 14th against Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, TULN showcased a high-octane offense that racked up 94 points in an overtime thriller. With a field goal percentage of 46 and free throw accuracy hitting an impressive 83 percent, they demonstrated clinical finishing that could prove pivotal against UAB. Moreover, their ability to score in the paint was evident with 42 points coming from inside – a stat that might unsettle the Blazers' defense.
However, it wasn't just about scoring; TULN also displayed defensive prowess with seven steals and a solid rebounding performance totaling 41 boards. This kind of all-around game is exactly what will be required when they step onto the court at Bartow Arena.
The Blazers should not be underestimated though. They will have home-court advantage and undoubtedly look to leverage this against TULN. But if history is any indicator, Tulane has shown resilience even when playing away from home.
Looking back further at TULN’s performance on January 12th versus Florida Atlantic Owls reveals both strengths and areas for improvement. Despite falling just short by one point in an intense battle where they scored 84 points, their field goal percentage was even higher at 52 percent – showcasing their shooting capabilities.
Yet it’s not all smooth sailing for Tulane; consistency remains an issue as seen in their January 6th game against North Texas Mean Green where they only managed to put up 56 points with a lower field goal percentage of just 37 percent. To come out victorious over UAB, maintaining offensive efficiency while tightening up defense will be key factors.
With these past games as indicators of potential performance, fans can expect TULN to come out strong and focused on securing another win for this season’s record books. The team seems ready to harness its scoring ability while continuing its aggressive play under the rim both defensively and offensively.
Mark your calendars for January 17th at precisely seven o'clock in the evening when Tulane takes on UAB at Bartow Arena in Birmingham – you won't want to miss this showdown! Fans can catch all the action live via ESPN+ online broadcast network as these two teams battle it out on court.
