Tulane Men’s Basketball Welcomes Charleston on Tuesday G R E E N WAV E T O W E L C O M E C O U G A R S F O R A 7 P. M . T I P O F F STARTING FIVE 1. The Tulane University men’s basketball team returns home for its second matchup with the College of Charleston in the past week. The Green Wave is in the midst of a stretch where they will play four of their next five games at the Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.

2. The Green Wave enters their matchup with the College of Charleston in the hopes of building off its 21-point win over Alcorn State this past Saturday.

3. Head coach Ron Hunter is in his third season in Uptown (28th season overall) and will look to build on the team’s 2021 Quarterfinal appearance in the American Athletic Conference Championship.

4. This season, Hunter’s staff welcomes back six letterwinners, six newcomers and three starters, including preseason All-American Athletic Conference honoree Jaylen Forbes. Forbes is one of three players on the team, averaging 10-or-more points per game. Freshman Jalen Cook leads the team with 19.0 points per game - a figure that ranks third in the American Athletic Conference. As a team, Tulane is averaging 72.1 points per game and connecting at a 44.8 percent clip.

5. The Green Wave have won the turnover battle in seven of their eight games this season. During the 2021-22 campaign, Tulane won the turnover battle in 19 of its 23 contests last season while also forcing opponents into at least 15 mishaps on 11 occasions. During the 2019-20 campaign, the Green Wave committed equal or fewer turnovers than its opponents in 28 of 30 contests while ranking in the top 15 nationally in turnover margin (+4.3).

THE SERIES • Tulane’s matchup with the College of Charleston will mark the second all-time meeting between the two teams.

• The two teams met for the first time in program history last week with the College of Charleston picking up an 81-77 win over Tulane.

• Green Wave head coach Ron Hunter is 0-1 all-time against the College of Charleston.

3

Tulane guard Jaylen Forbes is one of only three players in the American Athletic Conference to have scored 30 or more points in a single game this season.

7

Seven of Tulane’s eight games this season have been decided by five points or less. In addition, Tulane is the ONLY team in the American Athletic Conference to have had seven of its games decided by five points or less.
