Can Tulane Green Wave Ride the Momentum at FAU Arena?

As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to face off against the Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can turn the tide after a series of challenging games. The upcoming clash scheduled for March 2nd is set to be a pivotal moment in their season.

In recent outings, Tulane has shown both resilience and areas for improvement. Despite a commendable effort against East Carolina, where they put up 67 points and maintained an impressive free-throw percentage of 85 percent, they were outmaneuvered by the Pirates who capitalized on turnovers and dominated inside with 30 points in paint.

The Green Wave's encounter with SMU was a closer affair. They managed to score 79 points while showcasing defensive prowess with eight blocks. Their ability to convert from close range was evident as they scored 42 points in paint but ultimately fell short by eight points.

Against Memphis, Tulane's performance was marked by highs and lows. They rallied in the second half scoring an impressive 49 points but struggled from beyond the arc with only a 37 percent success rate from three-point attempts. Defensive rebounds were strong at twenty-seven; however, turnovers remained an issue as they gave up fourteen possessions.

Looking ahead to their game against Florida Atlantic Owls, it's clear that minimizing turnovers will be crucial for Tulane. Their ability to maintain high percentages from free throws could prove vital in close situations. Additionally, capitalizing on fast break opportunities while tightening up defense around the perimeter may give them an edge needed for victory.
