The Tulane men's basketball team trailed by as many as 20 points in the second half, but Jordan Cornish scored 13 of his team-high 18 points in the final 20 minutes to close out a 76-69 victory over Nicholls on Monday evening at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.
Tulane's (8-3) last victory in a game in which it trailed by 20 or more points came on Nov. 29, 2015 in a 60-59 victory over Stephen F. Austin. The Green Wave trailed by 26 in that contest.
Cornish led four Green Wave scorers in double-figures, as Cameron Reynolds added 16 points, nine rebounds and three assists, while Melvin Frazier and Ray Ona Embo contributed 12 points apiece.
