Rebuilding Tulane requires unique approach
ESPN.com
Bob Toledo has seen almost everything in more than 35 years of coaching. And he saw a lot of the world when he stepped away from college football for three years. Former UCLA coach Bob Toledo brings enthusiasm and perspective to Tulane.But almost nothing could have prepared him for what he experienced as he crisscrossed the state of Louisiana, driving to 76 high schools in three weeks after his hire...
Green Wave flexes its muscles, thumps Tigers
New Orleans Times Picayune
Pitching on just two years rest, Tulane right-hander Matt Goebel cruised through the LSU lineup for 4 1/3 innings, and the Green Wave rode two two-run homers to win the 283rd meeting between the schools 8-3 on Tuesday night. Before 5,360 at Alex Box Stadium, Goebel, a fifth-year senior who has battled assorted injuries in recent years, made short work of the Tigers, giving up one earned run and winning his first decision of the season...
It's bottoms up for Green Wave
New Orleans Times Picayune
The numbers had been anything but glamorous for the bottom of Tulane's lineup this season. Hitters Aja Barto, Nate Simon and Seth Henry had a combined .226 batting average heading into Tuesday night's clash against LSU. But the trio turned it around in the Green Wave's 8-3 victory over the Tigers...
Wave to host MSU in opener
New Orleans Times Picayune
While the scheduling path Tulane's football team has traveled the past few years will continue, Green Wave first-year coach Bob Toledo can only hope the results will be different. Tulane, which released its 2007 schedule Tuesday, will do as it has done the past three seasons, play every game without a break. For the second consecutive year it will play 12 games in 12 weeks...
Tulane shuts down LSU baseball
Baton Rouge Advocate
Tulane pitched. Tulane hit. Tulane fielded. LSU? Not so much. Tulane's Matt Goebel and Preston Claiborne held LSU to three hits in the first 7 2/3 innings, and the bottom of the Green Wave lineup did most of the damage in an 8-3 victory Tuesday night over the Tigers...
LSU falls to in-state rival Tulane Green Wave, 8-3
LSU Daily Reveille
The Tigers never got on track offensively Tuesday night as Tulane took the early lead and preserved it to defeat LSU 8-3 in Alex Box Stadium.

Tigers, Green Wave renew baseball rivalry tonight
Baton Rouge Advocate
The choice of pitchers for early-season midweek college baseball games is sometimes a balancing act of the desire to win one game versus the need to evaluate talent in game conditions for more important late-season competition. Being able to do both -- winning while testing the parameters of your pitching staff -- makes for an easier drive home from the ballpark. Rivalry games raise the stakes...

Wave takes title outright
New Orleans Times Picayune
Thanks to seniors D'Aundra Henry and Jami Montagnino, Tulane will not have to share the regular-season Conference USA championship. The Green Wave's 78-70 win over Tulsa on Saturday gave them the outright title. "I thought it was more special that we got to win it here. There's no better way to send this group of seniors out," said Coach Lisa Stockton, who won her third regular-season championship...
Garcia gives Green Wave big boost off bench
New Orleans Times Picayune
Going into Saturday's game against Southern Miss, Tulane backup guard Andrew Garcia knew he was only an also-mention in most opponents' scouting reports. That may no longer be the case. Garcia, a walk-on, gave the Green Wave a big ride Saturday by scoring a career-high 23 points in a 77-72 Conference USA victory over the Golden Eagles at Fogelman Arena...

Tulane topples Southern Miss
Hattiesburg (Miss.) American

Tulane's Puckett content in backu role
New Orleans Times Picayune
Tulane forward Daniel Puckett, one of Tennessee's best prep players two years ago, could easily have been swayed into believing that his goal should be to crack the Green Wave's starting lineup right after he arrived. But it didn't happen for Puckett, a sophomore, until this season, spending the first half of the season as a starter...

The Mustangs also allowed Tulane to make more free throws than SMU attempted on Thursday. That was the difference in the 78-72 loss...

Tulane a successful road act in C-USA
New Orleans Times Picayune
Tulane has found success in Conference USA play this season in an unlikely place -- on the road. Coach Dave Dickerson's Green Wave, which is tied for fourth place with Tulsa and just two games out of second place in the conference, has won half of its C-USA games on the road. Only two teams, conference-leader Memphis and Central Florida, have won more away from their home court than the Wave, which is 3-3 on the road...

Wave quickly gets in gear, rips Ospreys
New Orleans Times Picayune
Tulane thought it might have a tough time against North Florida after the Ospreys took a one-run lead in the first inning. But a 12-run third inning quickly erased any thoughts of a nail-biter as Tulane cruised to a 20-5 win Saturday at Zephyr Field.

Tulane sinks Herd 73-65
Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette
There's nothing gratifying or satisfying, at least from the home team's standpoint, about Marshall's 73-65 loss Saturday to Tulane at Cam Henderson Center. Of the Thundering Herd's 16 setbacks this season, this one is probably the most grating. Not only did it sink Marshall (5-7 league) into a three-way tie for eighth place in Conference USA, it was entirely winnable...

Well, how did they do at Tulane and LSU? Unfortunately for fans, recruiting returns -- unlike election returns -- do not appear right after the polls close.

Green Wave opens with high expectations
Shreveport Times
Outwardly, Tulane coach Rick Jones did not want the focus of his baseball team's 2006 season to be Hurricane Katrina. Internally, however, Jones never let his players forget. "Because of it, we were so galvanized," Jones said. "We talked about it constantly. We made it a rallying point...
