Tulane Green Wave Set to Surge Against Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Arena
As the Tulane Green Wave prepares to face off against the Florida Atlantic Owls, fans are looking forward to what promises to be an electrifying encounter. The upcoming clash at FAU Arena on March 2nd will test TULN's resilience and ability to bounce back after a series of challenging games.
In their last outing on February 18th, TULN showed promise despite falling short against East Carolina Pirates with a final score of 67-81. The Green Wave's performance was marked by a commendable free throw percentage of 85 and an impressive three-point shooting rate of 38 percent. However, it was the turnovers that proved costly for TULN, with a total of 16 giving away valuable possession and allowing the Pirates to capitalize with points off turnovers.
The game before that saw TULN in better form as they hosted SMU Mustangs on February 16th. Despite losing narrowly by eight points, finishing at 79-87, Tulane showcased their ability in the paint with a strong showing of 42 points inside and an overall field goal percentage standing at 45 percent. Their defensive prowess was also evident as they racked up eight blocks against SMU's offense.
However, it is essential for TULN to address their turnover issues which have been persistent over recent games; this was also seen in their February 11th match-up against Memphis Tigers where they committed fourteen turnovers leading to ten points for MEM.
Looking ahead, if Tulane can leverage their strengths such as high free throw accuracy and maintain control over ball possession while minimizing turnovers, there is potential for them to upset the Owls in their own nest. It will be crucial for them to tighten up defensively and convert opportunities into points effectively if they wish to come out on top.
The Florida Atlantic Owls will not make it easy though; they have shown themselves capable adversaries with notable assists-turnover ratios indicating disciplined playmaking and ball handling skills that could challenge TULN’s defense.
Fans eager not just for victory but also strategic gameplay should mark their calendars. The game is scheduled for an early tip-off at FAU Arena on March 2nd at precisely eleven o'clock in the morning local time (Eastern Standard Time).
