After going into halftime tied with Temple, Tulane started the second half of Tuesday’s game at Devlin Fieldhouse on a scoring drought.
The Green Wave tied the game at 38 but didn’t score for the next two minutes, 27 seconds, while the Owls went on a 7-0 run. Temple led by as many as 13 points in the second half in New Orleans.
The Green Wave closed the gap when redshirt-junior guard Cameron Reynolds hit a 3-pointer from the left wing to cut their deficit to three points with 3:15 left.
Reynolds’ nine rebounds and season-high 29 points were not enough to give Tulane its first conference home win, as the Owls (12-11, 3-7 American Athletic Conference) won their first conference road game, 79-71.
