With the graduation of 2009 Conference USA Honorable Mention selection Andre Anderson, the Tulane football team finds itself in the unfamiliar position of lacking a clear-cut starting tailback. Before Anderson took the position in 2008, current Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte had anchored the Tulane backfield since arriving on campus in 2004, when he […]

For the New Orleans Hornets, the 2010 offseason was probably more dramatic than anyone in the organization would have hoped for or anticipated. After a last year’s disappointing 37-45 record, former All-NBA First Team point guard Chris Paul reportedly informed team officials that he wanted to be traded. While Paul never confirmed these reports publicly, […]

After closing the season with a string of inspired performances highlighted by an inspiring Senior Night victory over Houston, the Tulane men’s basketball team had entered the C-USA Tournament with the hopes of extending its season. Unfortunately, the Green Wave couldn’t survive a first-round matchup against an extremely physical Southern Miss squad that had already […]

The Tulane Green Wave’s men’s basketball team returned to Fogelman Arena Saturday night looking to upset Conference USA contender Marshall, and in doing so, salvage something from a disappointing season marred by lackluster performances and injuries. Just three days prior, the Wave had played their most competitive game against perennial C-USA powerhouse Memphis in recent […]

For anyone who has spent any amount of time in New Orleans recently, it’s easy to become a bit jaded by the national media’s insistence that the Saints Super Bowl victory is somehow magically leading to the city’s “rebirth” and that it “gave the city back its pride.” One can’t help but get the impression […]

In New Orleans there are certain cultural touchstones that have come to embody the essence of the city: Zulu coconuts, second-line funeral processions and ending words that usually end in “o” with “eaux. For Saints fans — and, by default, all of southeastern Louisiana — the pervasive phrase “Who Dat” has entered this Crescent City […]

After last year’s 34-25 campaign, Tulane baseball faces a fair amount of uncertainty heading into this season. The Wave will face one of their most competitive schedules ever, with non-conference series against Ole Miss, LSU and Boston College. What the Wave lacks experience, however, it makes up for with an abundance of young talent. Many […]

Tulane basketball’s Jan. 9 showdown with conference rival Alabama-Birmingham was supposed to be a defining moment for the Green Wave. After opening conference play against powerhouse Tulsa, UAB was thought to provide a more accurate barometer for how Tulane would fair against the meat of its C-USA schedule. Unfortunately for Coach Dave Dickerson and company, […]

After their dramatic Senior Day victory over Texas-El Paso, it almost looked like Tulane football was finally turning the proverbial corner. All of the mental demons that had plagued the Wave throughout the season — particularly their inability to execute in crucial red-zone situations — appeared exorcised. There was even serious talk that the Wave […]

Monday’s exhibition against Loyola University marked the first game this season for the Tulane’s men’s basketball program under fifth-year head coach Dave Dickerson. Tulane defeated Loyola, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, by a final score of 78-64.

Junior guard Kris Richards led Tulane in scoring with 27 points in 29 […]

For

the average college football fan, Tulane’s 45-38 victory this past Saturday against Texas El-Paso (UTEP) was nothing more than a mild upset by a bad Conference USA team over a mediocre Conference USA team. With both squads now an underwhelming 3-6, neither has a particularly strong chance of becoming bowl-eligible. Anyone lucky enough to […]

The Green Wave will host the Georgetown Hoyas 8 p.m. Nov. 13 in Fogelman Arena. The Hoyas, ranked No. 20 by the Associated Press in its preseason poll, feature sophomore Greg Monroe, a 6-foot-11 center widely considered an early frontrunner for Big East Player of the Year. While defeating a top-20 opponent is never a […]

In head coach Dave Dickerson’s first four years at the helm of the Green Wave men’s basketball program, the former Maryland assistant has engineered an impressive turnaround. After having only one winning season in the five years prior to Dickerson’s arrival, Tulane has returned solidly to the middle of the Conference-USA pack, with consecutive winning […]

Since college football’s adoption of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998 — a system that combines both the Coaches’ and Associated Press polls with computer rankings to determine which two teams will play in the four BCS bowl games and the National Championship — there has been a great deal of debate over how this […]

Despite starting the season 4-0, the Saints still managed to find themselves flying just below the national radar going into last Saturday’s matchup against the also-undefeated New York Giants. While their wins had showcased a newfound versatility — their defense had proven a major pleasant surprise — the caliber of their opponents left something to […]
