400 IN FOGELMAN
When the final buzzer sounded on Tulane's victory over UNO on Tuesday night, the Green Wave had reached a program milestone. Tuesday's win at Fogelman in Devlin was the team's 400th all time in its home building. The Green Wave were 12-5 at home last year and are 2-0 this year. Tulane has won at least 10 games at home in each of the last nine years.

MORGAN UP TO FOURTH

Morgan passed up Keisha Johnson and her 1,823 points, and now has 1,834. Morgan is now only 42 points away from third all-time in team history where Carmen Jones now sits.

FIVE STRAIGHT AT HOME
After beginning the year with seven of its first eight games on the road, Tulane is now in the middle of a season-long five-game homestand. The Green Wave began that homestand on Tuesday against UNO and will continue with games against LSU, Middle Tennessee State, Troy and either Samford or UTEP over the next two weeks. After December, the Green Wave will not play more than two consecutive games at home again this year.

WYATT'S HUGE DOUBLE-DOUBLE
Junior Harlyn Wyatt had one of the best nights of her Tulane career on Tuesday, scoring 10 points and setting a new best with 15 rebounds. Wyatt's previous career high in rebounding was 11, and Tuesday's game marked her third consecutive 10-point game. Wyatt's double-double is the first all year for the Green Wave.

CAYLAH'S CAREER NIGHT
Senior Caylah Cruickshank put up some big numbers against the Privateers on Tuesday, setting a new career best in points, made field goals and made 3-pointers.

Before that game, Tulane last had four double-digit scorers on March 19, 2017 vs. Grambling State in the WNIT Second Round.

MADZAREVIC SWATS SHOTS
Ksenija Madzarevic had the best blocking game of her career on Tuesday, swatting away four shots from UNO players. The junior previously had four blocks last season in the WNIT against Grambling State. That performance comes one game after she saw the most minutes of her season on December 3 at NC State. In that game, Madzarevic hit all three of her shots from the field and got her first block of the season, scoring a season-high 6 points.

SHE'S NUMBER SIX
