Tulane Men’s Basketball Opens the 2021-22 Regular Season G R E E N WAV E T O W E L C O M E L I O N S F O R A 7 P. M . T I P O F F

STARTING FIVE 1. Head coach Ron Hunter begins his third season in Uptown (28th season overall) where he will look to build on the team’s 2020 Quarterfinal appearance in the American Athletic Conference Championship.

2. This season, Hunter’s staff welcomes back six letterwinners, six newcomers and three starters, including preseason All-American Athletic Conference honoree Jaylen Forbes. Forbes, who became Tulane’s first allconference selection since Melvin Frazier Jr. in 2018, averaged 16.4 points per game a year ago – a figure that ranked fourth in the American Athletic Conference last season.

3. The Green Wave will be in search of their third straight season-opening win. Tulane has split its last 10 season openers. Two of those setbacks came against nationally-ranked team (No. 6 North Carolina – 2016 and No. 17/15 Florida State – 2018).

4. 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).

5. In two exhibition contests, Tulane posted back-to-back preseason wins against ULM (92-61) and Louisiana College (64-56).

GREEN WAVE POTENTIAL STARTERS

Tulane has won five American Athletic Conference road games under head coach Ron Hunter dating back to the 2019-20 campaign. The Green Wave defeated USF (53-49), Temple (81-64) and Tulsa (58-48).
