Tulane Green Wave Rides High, Overpowers Florida Atlantic Owls in Quarterfinal Victory

In a gripping American Athletic Conference Quarterfinal matchup, the Tulane Green Wave emerged victorious over the Florida Atlantic Owls with an 83-76 win. This triumph not only showcased the Green Wave's resilience but also highlighted their strategic gameplay throughout the contest. With this victory, Tulane improves their season record, while the Owls face a setback despite a hard-fought battle.

Green Wave's Strategic Mastery

The game was a testament to Tulane's offensive and defensive coordination. The team showcased an impressive 48 percent field goal shooting efficiency, significantly outperforming the Owls' 36 percent. Notably, Asher Woods led Tulane with an outstanding performance of 20 points, demonstrating his pivotal role in securing this win. His shooting accuracy was remarkable, hitting 60 percent from the field and 67 percent from beyond the arc.

Rowan Brumbaugh and Gregg Glenn also made significant contributions to Tulane's success. Brumbaugh dazzled with his all-around playmaking abilities, scoring 15 points alongside seven assists and six rebounds. Glenn matched Brumbaugh’s point tally while adding four assists and three rebounds of his own to the mix.

Owls' Efforts Fall Short

Despite their loss, Florida Atlantic displayed commendable tenacity throughout the game. The team managed to draw more fouls than Tulane and capitalized on these opportunities by making 71 percent of their free throws compared to Tulane’s slightly higher rate of 78 percent. Their bench contributed significantly with 29 points but it wasn't enough to overcome Tulane’s lead.

The Owls did have moments where they threatened to take control of the game; they had a brief lead by as much as seven points at one stage and managed a total rebound count of 42 against Tulane’s 38. However, their lower shooting percentages ultimately hindered their ability to sustain momentum against a determined Green Wave defense.
