The Green Wave's performance in their last game against the Black Bears on December 21st was a testament to their tenacity. With a narrow win of 64-61, TULN demonstrated that they could maintain composure under pressure. Their defensive prowess was highlighted by six blocks and seven steals, which played a crucial role in disrupting the Black Bears' offensive flow. Moreover, an impressive assist turnover ratio of 1.5 indicates that TULN has been effective in creating scoring opportunities while minimizing mistakes.


Tulane's offense has shown consistency as well, with field goal percentages hovering around 44 percent over recent games and three-point shooting at an encouraging rate of 36 percent against both Maine and Howard Lady Bison. This balanced attack will be critical when facing WICH's defense.


However, it wasn't just about defense; TULN also excelled offensively with ten three-pointers made out of twenty-eight attempts against Maine Black Bears – showcasing their range and ability to score from beyond the arc.


The previous encounter with Little Rock Trojans on December 20th further solidified TULN's reputation as a formidable opponent after securing another win with a scoreline of 66-57. Despite committing more turnovers than usual, they managed to convert these into points off turnovers effectively – demonstrating not only skill but also mental fortitude in capitalizing on opponents' errors.


Looking ahead at Wichita State Shockers, it’s clear that Tulane must leverage its strengths – particularly its robust defense which has consistently outperformed opponents in blocks and steals recently. The team should also continue exploiting fast break opportunities while maintaining high free throw percentages seen in past performances (73 percent against UALR Trojans).


Tulane fans have every reason to approach this game with optimism given their team’s upward trajectory this season. However, basketball is unpredictable by nature; hence nothing can be taken for granted until the final whistle blows.


Supporters looking forward to witnessing whether Tulane can extend its winning streak should mark their calendars for December 30th at 2:00 PM CST when these two teams face off at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas. The game promises excitement and will be available for fans to watch live as they cheer on the Green Wave towards another potential victory.
