Can Tulane Green Wave Ride the Momentum Against Wichita State Shockers at Devlin Fieldhouse?

As the Tulane Green Wave prepare to host the Wichita State Shockers at Devlin Fieldhouse, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash on March 8th promises to be a pivotal moment in the season for both teams.

Analyzing past games, it's clear that Tulane has been a force on their home court. Despite a loss against UAB with a final score of 67-78, they showed resilience by maintaining a strong assist-to-turnover ratio and securing points off turnovers. Their three-point shooting was impressive at 40 percent, indicating an ability to stretch defenses and create scoring opportunities.

In another recent game away against East Carolina Pirates, Tulane scored an identical 67 points but fell short as they allowed 81 points. The rebounding battle was lost with only 22 boards compared to East Carolina's 31, which is an area of concern that needs addressing before facing Wichita State.

However, there is optimism from their performance against SMU Mustangs where they put up a competitive fight in a high-scoring affair ending in a narrow defeat of 79-87. Notably, their two-point field goal percentage stood out at nearly half made and they excelled in generating second-chance points with offensive rebounds.

The key for Tulane will be translating these statistical strengths into consistent gameplay while tightening up defensively. With home advantage and fan support at Devlin Fieldhouse—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—Tulane has the opportunity to leverage this energy into disrupting Wichita State's rhythm.
