Overview of the Tulane Green Wave Standings

Last-Season Standings

The Tulane Green Wave men’s basketball team had a difficult 2021-2022 season, finishing with a record of 9-22 overall and 4-14 in the American Athletic Conference. Despite the disappointing record, there were some bright spots for the team and some notable performances from key players.

One of the standout players for Tulane this season was Gabe Watson, a junior guard who led the team in scoring with an average of 16.4 points per game. Watson was also a strong facilitator, dishing out 3.5 assists per game and grabbing 3.3 rebounds per game. He was named to the All-AAC Second Team for his efforts.

Another key contributor for the Green Wave was Jaylen Forbes, a sophomore guard who averaged 13.6 points per game and led the team in three-point shooting at a 39.3% clip. Forbes also chipped in 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Despite the strong performances from Watson and Forbes, Tulane struggled to consistently win games throughout the season. The team had some impressive victories, including a 74-64 win over the Memphis Tigers, but also suffered some tough losses, such as a 73-49 defeat at the hands of the Houston Cougars.

In terms of conference standings, Tulane finished in 11th place out of 11 teams in the AAC. The team’s struggles were reflected in their conference record, which included a seven-game losing streak late in the season.

Looking ahead to next season, the Green Wave will need to find ways to improve their overall performance and compete more consistently in the AAC. With key players like Watson and Forbes returning, there is reason to believe that the team can make some strides and compete for a higher spot in the conference standings.

Overall, while the 2021-2022 season was a challenging one for the Tulane Green Wave, there were still some bright spots and standout performances from key players. The team will look to build on those performances and improve in the coming seasons.

Before Betting on Tulane Green Wave, Check Out These Tips:

Keep an eye on injuries:

Injuries can have a significant impact on the performance of any basketball team, and Tulane is no exception. Check if any key players are injured or if the team has been playing without them. Injuries can affect the team’s chemistry, and they may struggle to perform as well without their star players.

Look at their schedule:

Check out the team’s upcoming schedule and determine if they have any tough opponents coming up. If they’re facing a team that’s higher in the standings or has a better record, Tulane may have a harder time winning, and it may be best to avoid betting on them.

Consider their playing style:

Tulane Green Wave’s playing style can impact their chances of winning or losing. For instance, if the team focuses on defense and prevents their opponents from scoring, they may be able to pull off an upset against a more talented team. On the other hand, if they rely heavily on offense but struggle to make shots, they may not be a good pick to win.

Monitor their performance on the road:

The Tulane Green Wave’s performance on the road can be different from their home games. Check if they’ve been consistent in their road games, or if they’ve had a harder time winning away from home. This can give you an idea of how they may perform in their upcoming games if they’re playing away.

Tulane Green Wave Basketball History

Bribery & Conspiracy Arrests

Like many bigger and more renowned schools, Tulane has been playing college basketball for over a hundred years. However, success has eluded this school and all it has to its name is a handful of regular-season conference titles and a trio of NCAA Tournament appearances.

Tulane, under coach Clifford Wells, became a competitive member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in the 1940s. During the 1948-49 season, it was even ranked as high as fifth in the AP poll. And in 1956-57, it was ranked 14th. Still, it did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament (as the tournament only involved 25 teams at this time).

For the most part, Tulane remained a quiet program and typically an also-ran in the NCAAB odds.

Gottfried: 4th Winningest Coach

However, the school made national headlines for the wrong reasons during the 1980s. Four players including star forward “Hot Rod” Williams were arrested for alleged sports bribery and conspiracy – point shaving.

Even if Williams was found not guilty on all counts, Tulane suspended its basketball program for four seasons. Williams would go on to have a lengthy NBA career where he even made the NBA All-Rookie team in 1986-87.
Perry Clark took over the program and rebuilt it to what has been its most successful era.

The Green Wave made the NCAA Tournament three times winning once as the lower seed in each appearance. Jerald Honeycutt, who finished as the Green Wave’s team stats leader in scoring, became a star player for the team.
But when Clark left the program in 2000, so did the team’s relevance. While players like Melvin Frazier went on to lead the Tulane Green Wave team stats, the school never sniffed the NCAA Tournament again. Now with Rod Hunter at the helm, Tulane will mostly be a sizable underdog on the betting lines.
