Tulane let MAW get to his left hand and he made them pay. All five starters ended with double figure scoring. Lakhin had a double double with 13 and 13. Skillings put up 7 and 6 in just 12 minutes.
We let Tulane get to the free throw line way too much, where they scored 25 points at almost a 90% clip. But they only shot 20% from three and we held them to 50% inside the arc, resulting in under 1 point per possession. 88 points looks good, but holding a good offensive team under 80 in a 79 possession game is also impressive.
As expected Tulane took care of the ball and converted at the stripe. But we were able to score at the rim, shooting 64% inside the arc.

We did let them get to the FT line too much but the refs had a helping hand in that and probably added another 4-6 points or more on poor calls. We also turned them over much more than they are used to. We did get a couple of calls to go our way but I feel like Tulane got 5-6 calls in the other direction.
