Samford blistered the nets with 73.9 percent shooting in the first half, including 9-of-13 from three point range, and raced to a 46-37 halftime lead. Tulane fought back with solid shooting of its own in the second, outscoring the Bulldogs 21-8 from the line. But it wasn't enough as Samford made two key defensive stops late in the game and sealed the contest with free throws. Bryon Mouton, who was 4-of-6 from three-point range, led Tulane with 14 points.
