Fans can also listen to the action live on the Tulane Sports Network from Learfield on 104.1 The Spot with the Voice of the Green Wave Corey Gloor or streaming on the Tulane Athletics App and The Varsity Network App.

In its last time out, Tulane lost its sixth consecutive game as it fell 79-73 on the road to Florida Atlantic on Saturday. The loss marked the first time the Green Wave has lost six games in a row since losing eight straight during the 2019-20 season. Tulane outscored the Owls in second chance points (16-8) and bench points (21-16), but a poor performance at the free throw line (14-of-24) cost the Wave the chance to complete a 20-point second half comeback.
