Tulane basketball to play in Atlantic City tournament

Boardwalk Hall will host the two-day tournament. Tulane will meet Towson in and LaSalle will face Alabama A&M in the opening-round matchups, with the winners and losers meeting the following day.

The Green Wave has not yet released its full non-conference schedule for 2018-19.
