Tulane basketball continues its road trip with a stop at Old Dominion today to face the Monarchs. Here's our preview of the game.
Team Records: Tulane (11-9 / 3-2 CUSA) @ Old Dominion (9-10 / 3-1 CUSA)
Game Time: 6 PM Central
Tulane Storyline: The Green Wave is actually on the upswing. A calamitous non-conference schedule gave way to a decent start in Conference USA at 3-2. Tulane will look to notch another rare road win to keep a two game win streak alive.
Old Dominion Storyline: The Monarchs took a lot of losses in November and December, yet Old Dominion managed to make its C-USA debut with a 3-0 start. A loss to Southern Miss brought them back to earth, as the Monarchs are a middle-of-the-pack team at best.
Rankings (KenPom.com): Tulane (#269) vs. Old Dominion (#160)
C-USA Ranking (Fear the Wave): Tulane (#12) vs. Old Dominion (#8)
Guys to Watch: Jay Hook drained three huge 3 pointers in the final two minutes to take down East Carolina on the road. Tulane will need to make this a close game on the road and grind in the final minutes to find another victory. On the Monarchs' side, Aaron Bacote is the guy. He leads the team in scoring at 17.6.
Spread: Tulane +8.5
