On February 14th, Tulane headed to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats. The Green Wave found themselves down by two with four seconds left after a layup by Gary Clark gave Cincinnati a 49-47 lead. As the clock wound down, Jonathan Stark launched a 25-foot shot that went in to give Tulane the 50-49 victory to get the Green Wave back in the win column with a victory over a Bearcat team that entered the game at 17-7 and 8-4 in conference play. 



The victory snapped a 10-game Cincinnati win streak in the series and gave Tulane their first win in Cincinnati since Feb. 23, 1991.
