The conference road woes continued for the Mustangs as they fell 52-50 to Tulane on Wednesday night in New Orleans. The loss drops the Mustangs to fifth in the American Athletic Conference.
In a defensive battle, the Mustangs were held scoreless in the final 2:52 of the game. The Mustangs had a strong defensive effort forcing 18 Tulane turnovers, including nine steals, but could not convert them into points.
“We have to execute a better late game,” head coach Toyelle Wilson said. “We looked a little bit discombobulated late. We looked like we didn’t know what we wanted to run.
