Seems like we're still 1 player over the scholarship limit of 13?
The Green Wave's roster features the return of letterwinners Ray Ona Embo, Bul Ajang, Buay Koka and Kevin Zhang who lead a crop of 10 newcomers including Ibrahim Ali (Arkansas), Teshaun Hightower (Georgia), K.J. Lawson (Kansas), Nic Thomas (Norfolk State), Christion Thompson (Rhode Island) and Jordan Walker (Seton Hall). Tulane's freshman core comprises Nobal Days, R.J. McGee, Tylan Pope and Charlie Russell Jr.

Very disappointing playing a SWAC Schedule there. I guess we need all the wins we can get. I’ll pass on tickets until AAC play. Bright side we should be undefeated at home in non-conference. Way overboard. I see why they were trying to sell tickets without a schedule out.winwave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 1:35 pm Here it is:

I saw elsewhere that Ajang wouldn't be medically cleared to play this year but will be allowed to stay in school and take classes. That would be the odd man out
As I said a good while ago Ajang is going to be medically disqualified and he gets to stay on scholarship and finish school.

As stated in the first thread was disingenuous to solicit ticket sales while not disclosing opponents . I guess RobertM320 will lambaste you also for not buying tickets to these games as he lambasted me .Show Me wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 3:05 pmVery disappointing playing a SWAC Schedule there.

The home schedule is pitiful.
We lost to a Alabama A&M last year that finished dead last in the SWAC conference. I didn’t expect a better schedule than this. With the fight to make it to the tournament, no one is lining up to play us anyway. I wish our new coach the best with this schedule so we can play more lively opponents next season.

The schedule sucks. No excuse to play down like this.

Even beating Southern Miss (102) and SLU(107), will keep us firmly below 200/250 in NET. This schedule is real baddddd if we don't win those tourny games

My god. Those numbers are brutal. Why are we ever playing anyone 300+?!!!!
We usually schedule at least one premium home non-conference game that’s attractive to the avg basketball fan. There’s not one home game like that in this schedule. Zion and the Pels are going to attract the walkup fan this season. Not sure how many times we go head to head with those guys but all their games are also on TV. Unfortunately with that home schedule the typical basketball fan is going to stay home and watch Zion on TV (and turn down the volume and listen on radio to Graff ) rather then come out and see us play. I understand it from a coaches perspective trying to build confidence with wins. But as a fan it’s not going to get me excited. Should easily double our win total before AAC play even begins with that non-conference home schedule.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..

To be fair, this team won only 4 games last season with a complete roster turnover in year one. It will take them a lot of time to build a cohesive unit especially before conference play. This program is starting from scratch. I’m ok with winning games to build confidence and cohesion during this phase of the rebuild. Half of you guys whine about everything no matter what so your opinion has little value especially Show Me who just regurgitates the same crap over and over.

Winning 4 games overall and O’fer in conference will do that. Our coaching the past few years was just awful. The roster turnover was probably unnecessary. Dunleavy couldn’t win with NBA talent. I wish Hunter success and will support his efforts. But as a fan this schedule really doesn’t interest me. I think Ron’s offer to buy people tickets to come out won’t break his bank. There’s no question we will win games this season but hopefully also a few in conference. But it’s not FB so who cares right ‘78?greenie78 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 7:24 am To be fair, this team won only 4 games last season with a complete roster turnover in year one.

This mentality is exactly why the same 500-1000 people show and no one else does. The point is to attract basketball fans out sorry but this home schedule won’t do it.anEngineer wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:23 am If you don't like it, don't go.

Must confess the home slate is not terrifying, so we are even more pressured to win.

That mentality is the proper one for someone who loves Tulane. If you just want to watch winning basketball, watch Duke. Do you go to junior high and high school games to watch your grandkids no matter who they play or whether they're winning? No? I thought not.Show Me wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:37 amThis mentality is exactly why the same 500-1000 people show and no one else does.

Yes, I wish we were scheduling and beating Villanova, Duke, and Kentucky. We're not. Supporting Tulane athletics during losing periods does not mean you are deficient in some fashion nor does it mean that you are in lockstep with every decision the AD makes. ShowMe, as a fair-weather fan, you have every right to attend games only when we are having winning years. If everyone had your mentality, there would be little chance for Tulane getting to the next level.
So stay home. Think about how wise you are by not watching Tulane play Southeasern. AnEngineer and I will be among those 500 fans in the stadium for which you articulate such scorn but we'll be enjoying ourselves far more than you.

The home schedule is pretty bad but there are some other decent away/neutral games. We do need to have some W’s, would have like a few of those neutral games at home. But if things don’t gel early and we take losses in most of the away/neutral games, we might be thanking having some home cup cakes. Plus I think the AAC is going to better almost across the board.

Supporting during losing vs. supporting a loser mentality are two totally different things. Don't confuse them. Unfortunately for Tulane, there has been too much of the latter in the recent past.

Almost 20 years since we had a legitimate post season appearance. We all love Tulane but tough love is needed at times. That’s where I’m at now. Some asked why UNO was not scheduled? I’ll tell you why fear of losing to them.

Definitely prefer a home and home with UNO. For that matter, they might as well resurrect the old City Series (UNO, Dillard, SUNO and Xavier)--it would be more appealing than these SWAC teams.winwave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 1:35 pm Here it is:
