Tulane (2/28/24)

[CMJ]

NT 59 ---------- Tulane 54

 

7:54 to go

 

This is starting to really feel like some of our games we lost in the final minutes.  Need to really focus here.

[CMJ]

NT 66 ---------- Tulane 59

 

5:56 to go

 

Noland, Scott, and Edwards all with big plays in that stretch.  We need a long stretch of good defense...Tulane is shooting well this half.

[CMJ]

NT 70 ---------- Tulane 62

 

4:13 to go

 

Buckle up fellas...this is where some games have slipped away this season!

No it does not!  We’re on our way to losing this one the same way we lost in Denton.  Hope I’m wrong.

[Green Lantern]

Horrible turnover to giving up a three on the other end sequence. Last thing we needed.

[Green Lantern]

Allen coming up big again. Key FT’s in crunch time.

NT 80 ---------- Tulane 76

 

Final

What's a foul? I can't be the only one who feels like they are going crazy right? You can't have your feet planted and hands in the air  while the offensive player initiates contact? How are you supposed to defend anything?

I was just testing you guys.  I knew we were going to win this one.

I agree. I feel like it is just up to the ref on whether they call these. There have been many, many times we are literally straight up and still get the foul call. I am not a ref, but I would love for someone to explain that to me.

Closed out a close game….and on the road!  Congrats!  I’ll be proudly sporting my Mean Green Basketball gear tomorrow!  🦅

I guess we should feel fortunate we won considering the bottom three teams in the conference all won tonight.  Would've been the bottom four if Tulane had won.

I agree, i feel like they were calling everyone in the last two minutes of the game... really bogged down

Does anybody know who won the trip to this game? 

Sounds like just a data collection trap for Farmers Bureau. 😥

UAB loses to Wichita State 

Rice loses to Temple in a blowout lost

Yeah, I agree, but we still have a few more days before the next one, so have to dissect this one otherwise @TheTastyGreek might want to give us an update on Temple Oranges!

Every day we don't lose is another day of sweet, nourishing harvest.

Tulane's only lead of the game was 2-0, but it never felt like we could put this one away.  We should have pulled away by 20, only to let them get back within a single possession several times. 

Still doesn't look like we are firing on all cylinders yet even with a healthy roster.  Too many forced shots at the end of the shot clock, a turnover or violation.  But as they say any road win is a good win, so...

This was exactly how I felt. I still don't feel confident going into the tourney. 

If this team beats FAU, that's the kind of win that would carry some strong momentum into the tournament.
