Game Notes

Green Wave tops the Redmen 61-57.

Tulane makes its NCAA tourney debut with an upset, sinking 7th-seed St. John's. The Green Wave, which shuttered its program 4 years prior after a point-shaving scandal, manage to withstand 2nd half rallies after using a 14-1 run in the 1st half to help build a 35-30 halftime lead.

The Redmen are able to pull within 2 points on several occasions, but suffer critical turnovers thwarting their rally. David Whitmore leads Tulane with 15 points and 6 rebounds while Anthony Reed and Kim Lewis add 12 points apiece. Malik Sealy leads St. John's with 20 points.
