Tulane's hot start to the season has been fueled by its dominant play at home, but it has begun to slow down in recent games.
The Green Wave were slowed down by the University of Connecticut's stingy defense and fell 67-57 on Saturday at Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse.
Tulane (11-6, 2-3 American Athletic Conference) started the season winning its first eight games at home, but it has dropped two of its last three at Devlin to begin conference play.
The Wave averaged 82.6 points per game in their first eight home games, but that average has dropped to 62 points per game in their three home tilts against conference opponents.
