STARTING FIVE 1. The Tulane University men’s basketball team returns to action on Saturday morning as it welcomes Wichita State to Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse. Tulane’s home contest with Wichita State will mark the two team’s second meeting this year. The game will tipoff at 11 a.m. CT and will be aired live on ESPNU. 2. The Green Wave enters their meeting with Wichita State in the hopes of continuing their momentum from a 34-point win over Tulsa (97-63) this past Wednesday at home. Tulane’s 97 points against Tulsa were a season high. The Green Wave will look to improve to 6-3 in league play for the first time since joining the American Athletic Conference for the start of the 2014-15 campaign.

3. Since joining the AAC in 2014-15, Tulane has only won six conference games on one occasion (2014-15).

4. This season, head coach Ron 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 19.5 points per game - a figure that ranks second in the American Athletic Conference. As a team, Tulane is averaging 73.4 points per game and connecting at a 44.9 percent clip.

5.The Green Wave have won the turnover battle in 14 of their 17 games this season. During the 2020-21 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 Wichita State will mark the eighth all-time meeting between the two teams.

• The two teams met for the first time in program history back on Feb. 21, 2018. In that game, the Green Wave dropped a 93-86 decision to the Shockers.

• Green Wave head coach Ron Hunter is 1-3 all-time against WSU.
