Tulane Game Thread

Tulane (8-5, 0-1 AAC, NET #145) enters their 2020 AAC home opener with a renewed sense of purpose after already doubling last year's win total 10 games into the season and are coming off a resilient effort @Memphis this past Monday night. Despite losing by 11, Tulane rallied from a 14-point deficit early in the 2nd half to cut the Memphis lead down to 3 within the final minutes of the game.

First year coach Ron Hunter completed a total roster overhaul this offseason, and now plays a 7-man rotation featuring 5 transfers, 1 returning sophomore, and 1 true freshman. They lost talented guard, Ray Ona Embo, just over a month ago as he opted to return to his native France to pursue a pro career.

So far this season, Tulane has done a solid job of taking care of the ball (12 TOs/game) and not fouling their opponents (14 fouls/game) while shooting the 3 at a respectable 36% clip.

On the flip side, they are one of the weaker rebounding teams in the nation and block less than 2 shots per game. They don't start any traditional post players (they start 1 small point guard, 2 average sized wings, and 2 longer wings) and the only one they regularly bring off the bench is a true freshman.

Despite playing a very weak schedule so far, they do possess a Q1 win having beat Utah (NET #50) in an early season tournament.
