Tulane Sinks Navy in Home Victory

Tulane captured its sixth straight home victory in a 51-41 grind against Navy. In a low-scoring, physical matchup, the Green Wave held a solid lead throughout the entire second half, a challenge for the squad over the past several games.

In the end, Navy had no match for Josh Davis when he was on the court, adding another solid performance to his already impressive 2012 campaign. That said, with Davis benched with two fouls for a chunk of the second half, Tulane still managed to keep their lead in double digits.

The upside? Tulane continues its perfect streak in the Devlin Fieldhouse. While this wasn't a blowout, Tulane maintained control the entire game and consistently stymied Navy's momentum.

The downside? Navy isn't much of a team this year, as they fall to 4-5 without a win on the road yet. Nonetheless, this was a solid victory to give Tulane some momentum heading into the tougher part of their non-conference schedule.

In a bit of awkwardness, Navy decided to bring the full court press with 7 seconds left, facing a 10 point deficit. Can't blame 'em for trying.

Good win for Tulane. Bring on in-state rival Nicholls St.
