In front of an energized crowd of 1,835 at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse, the home team displayed remarkable offensive efficiency.

As conference play continues to heat up every possession counts and this game was no exception as it saw seven lead changes and was tied three times showing just how competitive these teams were until Tulane pulled away decisively.

Looking ahead fans can tune into future broadcasts as Tulane continues its pursuit of excellence on court aiming for another win that would further solidify its strong season record.
