Jan 22, 2024 | Men's Basketball
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane University men's basketball (12-6, 3-3) defeated No. 10 Memphis (15-4, 4-2) 81-79 on Sunday afternoon to earn the program's first win over a ranked opponent since 1999.
The Green Wave snapped a 53-game losing streak to ranked opponents behind 20-point performances from Sion James and Kevin Cross and timely scoring by Collin Holloway in the final moments. Jaylen Forbes sealed the victory by blocking the final three-point attempt by the Tigers as time expired and the Wave earned its first win over a top 10 team since 1983.
