Part of the reason for Tulane's improvement this year: transfers.

Six members of the Green Wave played elsewhere before heading to New Orleans:

K.J. Lawson: Kansas
Jordan Walker: Seton Hall
Teshaun Hightower: Georgia
Ibby Ali: Arkansas
Grant Quinn: Oklahoma
Christion Thompson: Rhode Island

[PonyPride]

Feron Hunt with steal and windmill dunk ΓÇö waved off for double dribble call. If anything, it could have been a foul, but should have been a no-call.

Lawson followed with a 3 at the buzzer.

HALFTIME
Tulane leads 31-28

Not much interest in this game tonight. I hate that our crowd had checked out and that we no longer have a real home court advantage. Really quiet watching on TV
