Darin Green Jr. scored 18 points, leading UCF past Tulane
Darius Perry had 14 points and six rebounds for UCF (6-10, 4-9 American Athletic Conference). C.J. Walker added four blocks. Isaiah Adams had eight rebounds.
Tulane went on a 10-0 run to give the Green Wave a 40-32 lead with 14 minutes remaining, but UCF countered with a 10-0 run of its own. The Knights’ defense locked down, forcing Tulane to miss its final seven shots to help seal the win. The Green Wave scored a season-low 19 second-half points.
“Like coach says, when you fall down, you’ve got two choices — you can stay down or get back up. I think we’re going to choose to get back up,” Green said.
