QUICK HITS
Tulane guard Victoria Keenan drilled five 3-pointers and Sherese Pittman posted her fourth double-double of the season as the Green Wave cruised to a 68-52 win over visiting Florida Atlantic Wednesday evening inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.
Keenan missed just once from the perimeter in her 15-point effort, while Pittman posted 14 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists with just one turnover in 30 minutes of action. Kendall Sneed also had an impressive stat line (13 points, five rebounds, five assists, five blocks) and Amira Mabry added 11 points and eight caroms.
Stefanie Ingram led the Owls with 15 points and Jada Moore added nine rebounds and five assists.
The Green Wave used a 13-0 run in the second quarter to wrest control of the game, turning a 24-all affair into a 37-24 advantage with 1:22 left on the strength of three Keenan triples.
FAU could only pull within seven in the second half, connecting on only one of its 13 perimeter attempts.
The Green Wave made half of its 3-point shots (9-for-18) and controlled the glass (47-34) against the league's best rebounding team (FAU's 40.7 per game).
REJECTIONS!: Tulane registered nine blocked shots in the 68-52 win over Florida Atlantic on Wednesday. That was the most for the team in a conference game since also posting nine against Memphis on February 23, 2021 (72-52 Tulane victory).
CRASHING THE GLASS: The Green Wave leads the league in rebounds per game (40.75) and is 33rd nationally. The team is also second in the AAC in defensive caroms (29.0) per contest and 18th nationally.
WHITTINGTON GETS TO 1500: With 10 points in the win over Wichita State, Kyren Whittington landed right on 1,500 career points. She has 1,074 at Tulane and registered 450 during her freshman season at ULM in 2021-22.
FTS AND FOULS: Tulane has made as many or more free throws than the opposition in 13 games this season and has fouled as many or fewer times than its opponents on that same number of occasions (including six of the last seven games).
KEENAN: Victoria Keenan paces the league (and is fourth nationally) with a 48.8 percent clip from the perimeter. She is also eighth in the country with 3.05 3-pointers per contest and 13th with 61 total triples on the year.
GETTING DEFENSIVE: Tulane leads the American Athletic Conference in field goal percentage defense (36.1), a figure that is 20th nationally. Tulane also paces the conference in 3-point percentage defense (27.0) and is 31st nationally in that statistic.
AWARD WINNERS: The Green Wave has won the league's Freshman of the Week five times, three by Kendall Sneed (Nov. 25, Dec. 2, Dec. 23, Jan. 27). Sadie Shores (Dec. 30) collected it the other time.
Tulane has earned AAC Honorable Mention Player of the Week recognition seven times. Amira Mabry leads the way there with four (Dec. 23, Dec. 30, Jan. 6, Jan. 27), Sherese Pittman twice (Nov. 18, Jan. 13) and Kyren Whittington on November 25.
