Tulane Green Wave Set to Surge Against Tulsa Golden Hurricane at Reynolds Center
As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to face off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on January 14th, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash at the Donald W. Reynolds Center promises to be a pivotal moment in the season for both teams.
The Green Wave has shown a strong offensive presence in recent games, with an impressive 52 percent field goal percentage and a notable 46 percent success rate from beyond the arc during their last home game against Florida Atlantic Owls. Despite falling just short by one point, Tulane demonstrated resilience and an ability to keep pace with ranked opponents.
Their prowess was not limited to shooting alone; they also excelled in ball distribution with 14 assists and managed a solid defensive effort with seven steals and four blocks. However, they'll need to tighten up on personal fouls after committing 15 in that game.
In contrast, when playing away against North Texas Mean Green, Tulane struggled as their field goal percentage dipped to 37 percent and three-point shots fell drastically to only 28 percent success rate. This drop-off contributed significantly to their defeat of 56-70.
However, redemption came when they returned home facing Rice Owls where they dominated with a stellar field goal percentage of 57 percent and converted three-pointers at a rate of 43 percent. Their defense was also on full display as they racked up ten steals contributing greatly towards an assertive victory of 84-59.
With these performances in mind, fans can expect Tulane's strategy against Tulsa will likely focus on replicating their high-scoring offense while minimizing turnovers and personal fouls which have been areas of concern.
The Donald W. Reynolds Center will be buzzing with anticipation as these two teams collide under central time zone skies. Fans unable or unwilling to brave the journey can catch all the action live via ESPN+ internet broadcast network starting at eight o'clock local time on January fourteenth.
