QUOTE
"This continued home stand is important in terms of this team getting some momentum going to finish out the season. We're looking forward to the team rebounding after last weekend, when we played really well against UConn and really poorly against Temple. It's important that we get after Houston right away and get some momentum going so we can build confidence because Memphis is coming in hot and playing very well."
ยญ--Tulane head coach Jim Barnes
