New Orleans, La. | The Grambling State University men's basketball team produced three scorers in double figures and outrebounded its opponent, but it wasn't enough as the Tigers fell 77-65 to Tulane University at the Avron B. Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse.

As a team Grambling shot 9-of-18 from downtown while Tulane nailed 14 of its 27 shots from three-point land.

Senior guard Prince Moss led the Tigers with a team-high 18 points on 4-of-6 shooting from downtown while teammate Cameron Christon added 16 points and connected on four of his seven three-point attempts.

"Hats off to Tulane," said Grambling State head coach Donte Jackson. "Today they shot the ball extremely well. Our guys competed really well but the difference in the game was us taking care of the ball and their three-point shooting."

Senior Kelton Edwards chipped in with 10 points in 22 minutes of action for Grambling.

Jaylen Forbes led the way with a game-high 21 points and buried five 3-pointers for the Green Wave.
