Tulane Green Wave Set to Surge Against North Texas Mean Green at Devlin Fieldhouse

As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to host the North Texas Mean Green at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans are bracing for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The recent performances of the Green Wave have been a mixed bag, but there's an undercurrent of potential that could see them triumph in their upcoming game.

In their last outing on February 18 against East Carolina Pirates, Tulane put up a valiant effort but fell short with 67 points against the Pirates' 81. Despite this loss, several positive takeaways emerged from the game. The team showed proficiency from the free-throw line with an impressive 85 percent accuracy and maintained a decent field goal percentage at 47 percent. However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 16 times which translated into points for their opponents.

The game prior to that saw Tulane in better form when they hosted SMU Mustangs on February 16. Although they lost by eight points with a final score of 79-87, there was notable improvement in certain areas. They dominated inside with an impressive tally of 42 points in paint and showcased defensive prowess by amassing eight blocks.

Looking further back to February 11 against Memphis Tigers, Tulane displayed resilience despite being down early in the game. They rallied back strongly in the second half scoring an impressive 49 points but ultimately succumbed with a final score of 78-90. Their three-point shooting was consistent at around mid-thirties percentage-wise across these games which could be crucial if dialed up slightly.

The key for TULN lies within tightening defense and controlling turnovers while capitalizing on scoring opportunities inside and from beyond the arc where they've shown capability.

UNT comes into this match-up having had their own set of challenges and successes throughout their season thus far; however, TULN has demonstrated enough flashes of brilliance that suggest they can control this game's tempo if they play cohesively as seen during moments in previous matches.

With strategic adjustments focusing on minimizing errors while exploiting UNT's weaknesses through aggressive offense and solid defense, TULN has all it takes to secure victory before its home crowd.

Fans eager to support TULN can mark their calendars for February 28th when tip-off is scheduled for sharp at six o'clock PM local time (6:00 PM) at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans. The action will be broadcasted live on ESPN+, ensuring supporters won't miss any part of what is anticipated to be an enthralling contest between these two determined teams.
