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.

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.

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
