Tulane will be kicking off the basketball season on Friday when it takes on No. 6 North Carolina at the Smoothie King Center with tipoff scheduled for 8 p.m.
Friday will also be Mike Dunleavy's first game as the head coach of the Green Wave and his first ever as a coach at the collegiate level. The last time Dunleavy roamed the sidelines in a game was when he was the coach for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2010.
