Can Memphis Tigers' Steals Lead Them to Victory at Devlin Fieldhouse?

54-44: Memphis Tigers Secure a Commanding Win Over Tulane Green Wave

In a display of defensive tenacity, the Memphis Tigers emerged victorious against the Tulane Green Wave with a final score of 54-44. The Tigers, who played as guests at the Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans, improved their season record with this win. The home team, on the other hand, faced another setback adding to their losses.

The game started off strong for the Tigers as they took an early lead in the first quarter with 19 points compared to Tulane's 10. Despite a lower scoring second quarter where they added only 10 points to their tally, they maintained their lead over Tulane's additional seven points. The third quarter saw both teams ramp up intensity; however, it was Memphis that managed to outscore Tulane by five points. In the final period of play, both teams scored an equal number of points but it was too late for Tulane to close the gap.

Memphis showcased an aggressive defense throughout the game which is evident from their impressive total of 14 steals and two blocks. This defensive pressure caused significant trouble for Tulane leading them into committing a total of 27 turnovers from which Memphis capitalized by scoring 14 points off turnovers.

Offensively speaking, while neither team shot exceptionally well from beyond the arc or within it – with field goal percentages standing at 38 percent for Memphis and just slightly lower for Tulane – it was ultimately Memphis's ability to convert on fast-break opportunities that made a difference in their point spread; they scored double what Tulane managed in fast break situations.

The standout statistic for Memphis was undoubtedly their steal count which not only disrupted many potential scoring drives by Tulane but also provided additional offensive opportunities for themselves. On top of that, despite being outrebounded by one rebound overall (32-33), they were able to generate six second-chance points thanks largely due to offensive rebounds.
