Tulane needed a spark in the second half, and junior guard Melvin Frazier provided it.
Frazier threw down a thunderous dunk to start a furious comeback as the Green Wave shot 59.3 percent in the second half to knock off American Athletic Conference foe SMU 73-70 Thursday night at Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse.
The Wave managed just 26 first-half points, but the second half was a different story.
Down by double digits midway through the second half, Frazier threw down a thunderous dunk on an outlet pass from Jordan Cornish to cut the lead to six points, and Tulane didn't stop there.
