Ignoring school history and perhaps forgetting what happened the last time Memphis came to town, Tulane fans have sold out Fogelman Arena tonight in hopes of seeing the Green Wave pull of its first win over a No. 1 team in...well, ever.
Not surprisingly, the atmosphere is unlike than any other game on campus this season. The student section was packed a half hour before the game began, and fans received green Tulane t-shirts to "green out" the arena. The pep band even deferred its responsibilities to the entire Tulane Marching Band for tonight's game.
UPDATE: With two minutes left until game time, the cushion seats behind the student section have yet to be filled. It looks like this will be a late-arriving crowd. After the Memphis player introductions, the Tigers made a circle around Joey Dorsey, who proceeded to do a little dance in the middle with another Tigers player. Whatever it takes to get in game mode, I suppose.
UPDATE 2: It's game time, and virtually all the seats have been occupied. The Green WAve will need to shoot well from the outside tonight to be competitive in this game.
