We play them tomorrow night at 6. It will be on ESPN+. They finished 6-25, 1-15 in the Big South last season. They are picked to come in last in the 10 team league. Cook is supposed to play.

Sorry no interest. I’d rather play Loyola whom we didn’t schedule this year I guess because they got good.

I`d like to see Loyola back on the schedule too.

Sucks it's the same night as the Pelicans game.

Yes. For sure. Pels have been fun to watch this year.

Yes. Donald Reyes coaching at Loyola also coached here. I wonder why we didn’t play them this year. They opened up with USM and SELA.

Ugly 20pt win against bad competition. Played lazy on defense all night. Close game until the final 6 mins when CSU went ice cold on open looks. The bench for the Wave won it. Playing a weak schedule will hurt us in conference play.

The Hunter Tulane era:
1. Zone D with terrible D rebounding due to lack of fundamental blocking out
2. Cupcake OOC schedule
3. Stand around the 3 pt line jacking up treys

So, last year, the team struggled in OOC and the knotheads on this site wanted Coach Hunter fired. Now, they are winning against solidly coached teams and it's complaints because the teams we are playing aren't prestigious enough. CSU played at Ohio St last week; is OSU dogging it too? P5 teams refuse to play us here because they fear losing. If any of you complainers have the connections to get us a home and home, Coach Hunter would appreciate your influence. Why can't you just enjoy winning?

Prior to RH we had NC come to town, GT just two ACC schools that come to mind. These games are RPI deadweights. Go on the road and play up in competition to try to improve the RPI and prepare for the league. I get playing a few of these bad teams but our entire home schedule is loaded with them. The league should force us to play up.

What don't you understand about them refusing to play here? You think you can force them to come here? Please do so. Of course teams were willing to come here and beat up on Dunleavy. It was an easy tune up. Stop blaming Hunter. He wants to play them. He's thrilled that they could play LSU in the upcoming tournament if they both get to the championship game. Why can't you just enjoy winning and stop complaining about it. This is the most talented and deepest team in over 2 decades.

Complaining because we can do better. Play road games if they won’t want to play here. I’m sure we don’t have the budget to pay either. But look at our baseball schedule this year. We are playing good road games that’s what you do if you want to get into the tournament as an at large. You need quality road wins.
Look at FB. We go on the road and beat Kansas St and that gives you credibility. Basketball should take notes.

Hence the tournament. Potentially Kansas State and LSU on the road.

Potentially fine but not guaranteed. And it’s not considered a road game. It’s a neutral site game.

K. State was picked last in the Big 12. So only one chance at a decent opponent in LSU who has struggled early against weak competition.

Was at game. Pope was inspired. Hated not to see Daniels. It was too bad the Wave did not turn on the jets to very late cause Coach M was quoted days before that EVERYONE would see the floor. Wave almost caught up on rebounds by games end and almost hitting 100 points was fun to watch.

URI and Nevada would also be Q2 nonconference wins.

Every game is risky for Tulane, but we're also good enough to be a risky out ourselves. It should be a very fun tournament to watch.

Liked those white uni’s with those pinstripes!

Hunter has really recruited some of offensive talent!
