COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Joseph Jones scored 20 points and Acie Law added another 10 to help lead Texas A&M to an 83-57 win over Tulane on Saturday night.
Tulane was in the unusual position of being the home team on its opponents court in the Hurricane Katrina benefit game.
Both teams committed a combined 63 fouls.
Costly mistakes quickly put Tulane in a hole in the first half, as it committed 11 turnovers.
Tulane struggled offensively in the first half as well, shooting 33.3 percent as a team, which included going 1-for-8 from 3-point range. The second half was almost a mirror image of the first: more fouls and continued defensive dominance by A&M (3-0).
David Gomez finished the night as Tulane's only bright spot, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds.
The game was a benefit for the Tulane athletes affected by Hurricane Katrina, with Tulane (1-1) listed as the official home team while A&M wore its road jerseys.
