Well, back to the action on the court. Tulane is on a 6-0 run over past 1:18. Memphis in 2:24 scoring drought. Tulane 32, Memphis 30 w/ 1:44 until halftime https://t.co/h2C1ZoeU5K
Memphis 30, Tulane 26 w/ 3:06 left in 1st half https://t.co/zLBWnYVv52
#Tulane trails Memphis 30-26 and will have ball after final media timeout of first half. Seemed like it went off Gregg Glenn on previous possession but official ruled in Wave favor. Malcolm Dandridge went to bench at 4:59 mark and appeared to be a little hobbled.
Tulane started off red hot but has significantly cooled off since. Green Wave has hit just 2 of its past 12 FG attempts after starting 6-12. Wow.
#Tulane had a couple of chances to extend lead but Malcolm Dandridge has been a beast inside, blocking three shots. Memphis on 8-0 run to go ahead 23-20 at third media timeout and Dandridge will shoot a free throw to try to complete 3-point play when game resumes.
Back-to-back 3s from David Jones quickly snap a 7-0 Tulane run.
#Tulane leads Memphis 18-15 at second media timeout. Tre' Williams just hit a 3 in transition. Four Wave players have treys and Jaylen Forbes is not one of them. Sion James missed a pair of free throws and is now 6 of 15 from the foul line in conference play.
Memphis still a step slow defensively. Either taking too long to rotate to guard 3-pt line or just not getting back quick enough. Tulane 4-6 from 3-pt range as a result.
Walton AGAIN. Drills another 3 — this one from the left wing. Tulane 13, Memphis 11 w/ 14:40 left in 1st half
A whole lot of offense (and not too much defense) as expected here so far. Memphis shooting 3-6 from the floor and 2-3 from 3. Tulane is 4-8 from floor and 3-5 from 3. Walton leads Tigers w/ 6 pts. https://t.co/gkxRO0rOMa

#Tulane wearing black jerseys today for its home game against No. 10 Memphis. Last time Wave beat a top-10 team was .... 1983, when it beat the Tigers twice in a span of eight days.
Memphis had a lot to figure out — and little time to so. Curious to see how the No. 10 Tigers respond this afternoon against Tulane. A lot to keep an eye on in this one. Here’s what I’m looking for: https://t.co/5vW1oW4IHY

Memphis blew a 20-point lead Thursday to USF to take its first Quad III loss of the season. Even more alarming, though? The chemistry issues Penny Hardaway said caused the meltdown. "There’s so much going on that you can’t play certain groups together." https://t.co/0ZKCqEOpNd
