Happy for Tulane. They have come from the land of 250+ RPI Putrescence to RPI 136 Pulse Showing

That's a really significant improvement.

It is statement day for the Wave. Do it!

Go get ‘em Wave!

A victory by Tulane would be a very nice cap of a great weekend by the American.

7 top 100 conference teams is a dream come true for WSU fans. Now come on Tulane and make it 8.

2 teams wichita only plays once

I’m more interested to see how Tulane performs rather than seeing if it’s a W or L. If Tulane can keep it close they’re likely a top half finisher in the conference, will get to some sort of postseason, and their future looks rather bright. If they get blown out today like they did at UNC then we will have basically no information on Tulane going into conference play.

Tulane's defense looks good.

Offence appears to be a struggle though.

Tulane definitely needs to learn how to put it in the hole.

I’m gonna lean towards Tulane sucks. But sucking with a 115 RPI and winning games you’re supposed to is commendable, especially in a down year. Tulane has been the nicest surprise in the AAC.

yes. if the lose with their ooc schedule so bad, whatever little chance they had is gone

a win and a good conference record their is hope...

This team shoots really well until they play a big opponent. Mental weakness is a real problem on this team.

Also, this team looks like they all need to hit the gym. They're too thin and are getting beaten up.

Come on, man. Tulane is improved and Dunleavy is a good coach but they have a long way to go to be a tournament team. Even with a win today they would have to finish top three in conference to be on the bubble, or win the conference tournament. Do you want to bet me either of those will happen?

im adding the strength of our league into the conversation and tulanes easier conference schedule

a win versus fsu they could gather enough wins...imo theyd only need about 24 wins to get in, playing all the top teams once isn't impossible ...

I think 6 top 50 teams and 10 top 100 is the ceiling and the most likely outcome.
