Analyzing Tulane's Recent Performance


The Tulane Green Wave has been on an impressive run, showcasing their ability to dominate on the court with a notable victory in their last game. Their offensive strategy has proven effective, with a 48 percent field goal percentage and an exceptional 78 percent from the free-throw line. This accuracy from the charity stripe could play a pivotal role in close encounters. Moreover, their three-point shooting has been reliable at 46 percent, indicating that they can stretch the defense and create scoring opportunities from beyond the arc.


Defensively, Tulane has also shown prowess by limiting turnovers to just five in their previous game and securing rebounds effectively—38 total rebounds with a significant contribution of defensive rebounds (25). This rebounding ability not only limits opponents' second-chance points but also kick-starts their offense with fast-break points tallying up to 12.
