MORE FROM MORGAN
Just two days after being held scoreless by Middle Tennessee for the first time of her career, Morgan erupted with a career high 34 points at Vanderbilt on Dec. 5. Morgan made eight of her first 11 shots, before setting a new career high in made field goals at 14-of-26 for the night. The junior also tied her career best of five made three-pointers, finishing 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Morgan's 34 points were just two points shy of cracking Tulane's all-time single-game top-10 list.
CLIMBING THE ALL-TIME CHARTS
Morgan, who became the first player in program history to surpass 1,000 career points in her first two seasons, now sits at 1,146 career points, which ranks 15th all-time. Next up is No. 14 Sherri Fuqua at 1,189 points followed by No. 13 Teana McKiver at 1,204 points.

WYATT RIOT ON THE BOARDS

In addition, the sophomore recorded her first double-digit rebounding performance of the season at Vanderbilt on Dec. 5, nearly earning a double-double with eight points and 10 rebounds.
HALTING THE SKID
Tulane, who has dropped two straight, has done well over the past couple of seasons in avoiding three-game losing streaks. In fact, the last time Tulane had lost three or more in a row dates back to the end of the 2013-14 season, when they dropped their final four contests.
AN EYE ON THE RPI
The road ahead will certainly be a grind for the Tulane Green Wave as their next four opponents all rank inside the top-65 in RPI. In fact, Tulane's next nine opponents all rank within the RPI top-100.
