That was fun. Led for most of the game. Maddeningly inconsistent but this will keep our fans coming.

In any case, GREAT WIN and ROLL WAVE! Let's go beat SMU at their house!
It was definitely better than the first half but that’s not saying much.galvezwave wrote:I want to add that the rebounding effort in the 2nd half was outstanding. Complete turnaround

Already has. Could easily have 3 less lossescapwave wrote:Great win. Coach Dunleavy is doing a hell of a job. But the lack of ability to rebound is going to come back and haunt us in many games
Sure is a wild conference this year! Hopefully we can end our Jekyll and Hyde routine sooner rather than later.Houma de Wave wrote:We’re back to the middle of the pack in the AAC tied for 5th with UConn, SMU and UCF.
It was. The ref wanted to become part of the game.galvezwave wrote:Looked like a chicken s*** call . You're telling me players don't talk?

I could not attend the game due to road closures so I did not see the encounter. Listening to the radio, Graf said repeatedly "there's a lot of unnecessary talking going on", and finally "Frazier needs to quit talking". After the ejection, a very frustrated Graf remarked (I'm paraphrasing) that "our players need to contain their emotion" and "this unnecessary display could cost us the game."Pepper wrote:It was.

If that is the case, no player wants to be forced out of a game in crunch time so hopefully he learns from it. Marvelous Melvin does have some maturity issues at times, but at the same time, he had the self decipline to realize his shots weren't falling and those 4 assists were huge and timely down the stretch. That can be a difficult thing for a teams leading scorer. A lot of things go down on the court unnoticed, maybe the Houston player was no angel either. Hopefully Frazier takes it as a learning experience.sader24 wrote:In response to Frazier’s ejection, I’m pretty positive I saw Cornish walk over to Dunleavy and tell him to get Frazier out the game after the 1st technical. I thought the game was very well coached, but in high school and college you need to get a guy who gets a technical out the game for awhile if for no other reason than to protect him from himself.
From my vantage point, there was shit-talking for most of the game by both squads. Why wait till that late in the game to want to start policing the action. And by the way neither player was physical with the other.sader24 wrote:In response to Frazier’s ejection, I’m pretty positive I saw Cornish walk over to Dunleavy and tell him to get Frazier out the game after the 1st technical.

Watching on my TV, I saw plenty of good seats available. We haven't sold the place out and made it packed and a true home court advantage in a very long time. But it was a good crowd, especially given the weather. And they made some noise, too! Maybe the Tulane community is picking up on the fact that this is not a CowDick Tulane Basketball program any more.JerseyWave wrote:Watching the game on my ESPN app last night, the inside of Fogleman looked like it did in the early nineties.

We outrebounded them overall in the game. That means we were + 13 in the second half. And after getting 15 offensive rebounds in the first half (including 5 on one possession) they got 1 in the second half.capwave wrote:It was definitely better than the first half but that’s not saying much.galvezwave wrote:I want to add that the rebounding effort in the 2nd half was outstanding.

Dont forget, it was a black out, so it was hard to tell what was seats and what was people. The noise is a better indication I would think.DfromCT wrote:Watching on my TV, I saw plenty of good seats available.

I'm watching on the DVR as I did last night after refereeing two hockey games. There's plenty of empty seats, unless there's people dressed as chairbacks. The announced crowd was 2500, "official capacity" is 4100, though most of us know it's really about 3500. So the place was roughly 60-70% full, not bad on a night where the weather was a big part of the story.RobertM320 wrote:Dont forget, it was a black out, so it was hard to tell what was seats and what was people.
