After rallying from a 15-point first half deficit, Wichita State was on the brink of consecutive wins for the first time in a month and a half. But the Shockers collapsed down the stretch in New Orleans, falling to Tulane on Saturday.
WSU was in control for most of the second half and led by 13 points with 10:48 left to play. Turnovers and fouls haunted them late in the second, blowing their double-digit lead.
The Shockers turned the ball over five times over the final five minutes and also fouled Jalen Cook on a potential game-winning three-pointer with six seconds left.
