Fans can also listen to the action live on the Tulane Sports Network from Learfield on Heaven 106.7 with the voice of the Green Wave Corey Gloor or streaming on the Tulane Athletics App and The Varsity Network App.
This marks the 50th all-time regular season meeting between Tulane and New Orleans with the Green Wave leading the series 25-24.
