This marks the 14th all-time meeting between Tulane and Wichita State with the Green Wave trailing the series 5-8. The Wave lost the only meeting between the two programs last season 67-78 in Wichita on February 23, 2025. Tulane holds a 2-3 record at home against the Shockers including the last win for the Green Wave in the series which came on March 8, 2024, by a final score of 85-75.

In games the Green Wave has won this season the team is averaging 76.1 points on 45.5 percent shooting from the field, 35.5 percent from three, and 78.5 percent from the free throw line. The leading trio for Tulane in the winning efforts has been Rowan Brumbaugh with 19.8 points per game followed by Asher Woods at 13.7 and Curtis Williams Jr. at 13.0.

In its last time out, Tulane snapped its five-game losing streak on a game-winning layup from Brumbaugh to defeat Memphis 78-76 on the road on Sunday, February 1. Brumbaugh and Woods led the offensive attack for the Green Wave against the Tigers as Brumbaugh finished with 27 points and Woods added 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
