With a capacity for 3,600 people, but likely about 200 or so in Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans for Memphis vs. Tulane, the Green Wave staged a comeback but ran out of time. Final: Memphis 83 Tulane 79
The New Orleans Saints are the main attraction in the Big Easy. Yes, there was a playoff game for the Saints. (The Saints pulled out that one over the Philadelphia Eagles, by the way. Final there: Saints 20 Eagles 14)
Only media members at this game are from Memphis.

January 14, 2019 Yes, road wins are hard to close out sometimes, even if you're favored by 10.5 points like the Memphis Tigers were Sunday evening.

January 14, 2019 Final: Memphis 83, Tulane 79. Road win, yes, but too close and Tigers’ rebounding/defensive problems continue. Martin with 27pts/5rebs/3assts/3stls/2nlks/4to’s in 34 mins. Tigers give up 19 offensive rebounds; 25 pts to dude named Zhang (who was avg 6.5ppg coming in). SMU next.
