Frigid shooting dooms Tulane in 65-56 conference loss to Tulsa

With less than five minutes to play, Tulane's Melvin Frazier skied to slam home a baseline dunk that bounced off the side rim and into a defender's arms.

It was that kind of day for the Green Wave.

Tulane shot 36 percent from the field as Tulsa handed the Wave its first home loss 65-56 in an American Athletic Conference contest Sunday at Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse.

Neither team could find its shooting touch as Tulane finished 21-of-59 from the field while Tulsa was 21-of-58. The difference was Tulsa's 52 to 30 rebounding advantage as well as Tulane's 7-of-13 performance at the free throw line.
