Tulane will attempt to break its three-game home skid when the Green Wave take on UAB. Saturday's meeting is the first this season for the squads.

Federal prosecutors charged 20 people, including several former college basketball players, in an alleged point-shaving scheme, according to an indictment obtained by CBS News. The indictment states that more than 39 college basketball players on at least 17 Division I teams "fixed and attempted to fix" over 29 games.

Former Tulane forward Kevin Cross was indicted for point shaving during the 2023-24 season on Thursday morning in a Pennsylvania federal court as part of a sweeping investigation that also involved Nicholls State, included more than 39 men’s basketball players on 17 NCAA teams and started a year earlier in Chinese professional basketball.

College basketball games in America and pro hoops contests in China were the targets of the extensive FBI probe, officials said.

The Green Wave couldn't hit their shots and lost the rebound battle to fall for the first time in American Conference play.

Prosecutors identified eight games, including one NCAA postseason game, where Louisiana men’s basketball players tried or successfully rigged games.

Along with winning the rebounding battle, UAB also outscored Tulane 44-32 in the paint. Tulane came into the night fresh off of hitting 19 of 42 (45.2%) shots from beyond the arc (45.2%) during a win over UTSA. UAB held the Green Wave to 7 of 27 (25.9%) from beyond the arc on Wednesday. The Blazers also held Tulane to 40% shooting from the floor.

Whichever way sports betting goes in the U.S., this is for sure: We wanted it, we got it and we deserve all the consequences.

The Tulane men's basketball team could not overcome early foul trouble to starting center Tyler Ringgold or handle UAB inside as its three-game winning streak to starting American Conference play ended on Wednesday night at home.
