With a 5-2 record in the league, Green Wave has already matched the number of wins they had in the entire 2023-24 campaign.

What should it take for Green Wave to make it four consecutive wins on their homework against the tigers?

They will have to lock in defensively and play at a high level at the end of the court as Memphis is among the most effective offensive teams in the country.

Their 39.5% shooting from 3-point range not only leads AAC, but is No. 8 in Men’s Basketball. They also conduct the conference in the total field target percentage (47.3%) and effective field target percentage (54.3%).

Tulane’s efforts on the defensive end have been unique this season, as opponents only shoot 39.4% against those of the year that are 24. In the nation.

Will their elite 3-point defense as they only allow 29.9% to be made, continue on Thursday night?

If they can keep it up, combined with their newfound offensive production, the Green Wave has the ingredients for a seasonally defining victory.
