Basketball: Tulane Drops to Old Dominion


Tulane's two-game win streak was snapped last night by the Old Dominion Monarchs on a road trip to Norfolk.

For virtually the entire game, the Monarchs possessed a solid lead over the Green Wave, yet Tulane managed to make it a two-possession game in the last 60 seconds following a Jonathan Stark three pointer.

The magic wasn't there, however, and the Monarchs were able to make enough free throws to escape the Green Wave's comeback attempt. The conclusion was a 70-64 loss on the Monarchs' court.

With the loss, Tulane drops to 3-3 in Conference USA while Old Dominion moves to 4-1 (and 10-10 on the year, weirdly enough).

The Green Wave's shooting struggled throughout the game, nailing only 19 of 49 field goals (38% from the field). In addition to Stark's team-leading 21 points, Jay Hook posted 14 and Louis Dabney put up 17.

Tulane has a short break until its final game of the road trip: a brutal matchup against a strong Southern Mississippi team in Hattiesburg on Feb. 1. The Green Wave is now 11-10 on the year.
