Can the Green Wave Surge Past the Owls' Nest at Liacouras Center?

The Tulane Green Wave faced a challenging contest against the Temple Owls, concluding with a 52-69 scoreline. The Green Wave's season record now stands at 0-1, while the Owls have started their campaign with a 1-0 mark.

The game unfolded at Philadelphia's Liacouras Center, where the Tulane Green Wave sought to establish their presence early on. They managed to outscore the Temple Owls in the first quarter with 16 points to 12. However, momentum shifted as the second quarter saw the home team amass an impressive 25 points against Tulane's 13, giving them a substantial lead by halftime.

Despite this setback, Tulane showed resilience in their performance after halftime. The third quarter was competitive as they tallied up another 17 points but still trailed behind as Temple added another 15 to their total. The final period proved difficult for Tulane; they could only muster six points compared to Temple's relentless push of adding another 17.

Tulane’s efforts were led by their ability to convert free throws successfully; they achieved a perfect rate from the line. Additionally, they fought hard under both baskets securing a total of thirty-six rebounds and contributing twenty-six points from inside paint areas which demonstrated effective play close to basket.

However, turnovers were an issue for Tulane throughout this matchup; sixteen lost possessions allowed Temple opportunities that translated into eight additional points for them off these errors. Furthermore, despite matching up closely in terms of field goal percentage (34 percent for Tulane versus Temple’s slightly higher rate), it was three-point efficiency where there was clear daylight between teams – with just three made from thirteen attempts resulting in twenty-three percent accuracy from beyond arc for visitors compared seven steals and forty percent three-point shooting by hosts.
