Tulane Green Wave Set to Host Charlotte 49ers at Devlin Fieldhouse in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to welcome the Charlotte 49ers to Devlin Fieldhouse, fans can anticipate an exciting clash on the hardwood. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 27th, will be a testament to Tulane's recent performances and their ability to leverage home-court advantage.

The Green Wave has shown a pattern of high-scoring games, with their last victory against the Paladins being a prime example. In that thrilling encounter, Tulane managed an impressive win with 117 points on the board after two overtimes. Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot an exceptional 56 percent from two-point range and an even more remarkable 55 percent from beyond the arc.

However, consistency has been challenging for Tulane. Despite their offensive outburst against the Paladins and Jaguars – where they scored 105 points – they fell short in their most recent game against George Mason Patriots with only 66 points. This dip in performance highlighted issues such as lower field goal percentages (35 percent from two-point range and just under 35 percent overall) and struggles in capitalizing on turnovers.

Defensively, there are areas for improvement too. While steals have been a strong point for Tulane – racking up double digits against George Mason – rebounding has been less consistent. They'll need to focus on controlling both ends of the court if they want to maintain possession and create scoring opportunities.

Devlin Fieldhouse could play a significant role in this matchup. With its intimate setting known for energizing home fans, it could provide just enough edge for Tulane as they seek another victory before their supporters.

Fans eager to catch this matchup can tune into ESPNU or head down to Devlin Fieldhouse when tip-off commences at 21:00 UTC on January 27th. The energy is expected to be electric as these teams battle it out on court.
