Tulane Set for Rematch at Florida Atlantic Wednesday – Tulane University Athletics
The game between the Wave and the Owls is set to tipoff at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN+. Fans can also listen to the action live on the Tulane Sports Network from Learfield on 106.7 The Ticket with the Voice of the Green Wave Corey Gloor or streaming on the Tulane Athletics App and The Varsity Network App.
This marks the 11th all-time meeting between Tulane and Florida Atlantic and the second this season. The Green Wave has won three-straight against the Owls to lead the overall series 8-2. In the first matchup this season the Wave defeated Florida Atlantic 69-66 in New Orleans on January 4 to improve to 5-1 at home. Tulane holds a 2-1 record against the Owls in Boca Raton, Florida, but has not beaten the Owls on the road since earning a 79-64 win on February 20, 1996. The last time the two teams met in Florida the Green Wave lost 73-79 on March 2, 2024.
In its last time out, Tulane dropped its second consecutive game when it suffered a 63-71 loss at home to North Texas on January 18. Rowan Brumbaugh and Curtis Williams Jr. were the only two players for the Green Wave to finish with double figures in scoring. Brumbaugh ended with a game-high 22 points and matched a career-best with seven rebounds while Williams added 15 points with five made three-pointers.
Since joining Tulane Rowan Brumbaugh has scored in double figures in all 23 American Conference games of his career. He has tallied 20 or more points in nine of those contests including three this season – Florida Atlantic (20), at UTSA (23), and North Texas (22).
Florida Atlantic enters the Wednesday’s contest on a four-game winning streak after defeating Temple on the road 79-73 on January 18. The Owls hold an 8-1 record at home so far this season including a 3-0 mark in conference play. In their home building this season Florida Atlantic is outscoring their opponents 91.4-68.8 while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor.
The trio of Devin Vanterpool, Kanaan Carlyle, and Isaiah Elohim each average double figures in scoring to lead the Florida Atlantic offense. Vanterpool leads the team with 15.4 points per game followed by 14.9 from Carlyle and 11.6 from Elohim.
Following the contest against Florida Atlantic, Tulane will make the trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, to face the Charlotte 49ers on Sunday, January 25. The matchup between the Green Wave and the 49ers is slated for 1 p.m. CT on ESPN+.

In Switzerland ever since, Ignatavicius has steadily improved with each passing season.
Spending most of the 2025-26 campaign playing against professionals in the National League, he notched 13 points (7G, 6A) in 52 games with Genève-Servette HC. He also suited up in 11 games in the postseason, scoring two goals and dishing out an assist.
During a brief stint in Switzerland’s second-tier league, he was better than a point-per-game player, racking up 11 points (7G, 4A) in eight contests.
“That was a big there,” the 18-year-old forward said of his breakout season. “There we go, and here I am now.”
Catching the attention of scouts across the NHL, Ignatavicius was projected as a possible late-first-round pick by several outlets heading into this weekend.
Making history when the Panthers called his name, he became the fourth Lithuanian to be drafted, joining Darius Kasparaitis, Dainius Zubrus and Andrey Pedan.
“It means a lot to my family and to my country,” Ignatavicius. “It shows little kids that whatever you dream it’s possible. You’ve just got to work for it. When you get your chance, you take it. Don’t give up. Work hard.”
A veteran of 1,293 games in the NHL, Zubrus has been a longtime mentor to his young countryman.
“I’m pretty close with him,” Ignatavicius said. “We text a lot. I’m happy with that and think I can learn a lot from him.”
When it comes to future lessons, he’ll have no shortage of new teachers to work with in South Florida.
Priding himself on playing a physical, relentless style, Ignatavicius models his game after one Panther in particular.
“Matthew Tkachuk,” he said. “I try playing like him, his style. I think he’s a great player and I can learn a lot from him.”
Yet to commit to returning to Switzerland next season, Ignatavicius is still waiting to see where he’ll lace up his skates in 2025-26.
“I’ve just got to focus on my summer and getting better,” he said.
In the immediate future, Ignatavicius will soon board a flight to Fort Lauderdale to participate in his first development camp with the Panthers.
“Florida? Can’t complain much,” he said when asked about his impending trip. “Very happy.”
In between on-ice sessions, maybe Ignatavicius will even find some time to grab a pizza.
If he needs a recommendation, I’m sure Panthers fans will have a few suggestions.
“This is just the beginning,” he said.
A diver who was reported missing near the Fort Pierce Inlet has been found dead, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a mayday call around 11:30 a.m. June 27 about the missing diver. The Coast Guard then notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which deployed four boats to assist in the search, according to a social media post by the Sheriff’s Office. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office marine unit also responded.
Friends of the missing diver joined the search, departing from Fort Pierce Inlet around 1 p.m.
The search, which included aerial support from the Coast Guard and FWC, focused on an area about six to seven miles north-northeast of the Fort Pierce Inlet, near Avalon State Park.
Around 4:10 p.m., the group of civilian divers entered the water and located the missing diver at the bottom of the ocean in about 55 feet of water. The diver was recovered and pronounced dead.
The body was transported to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division is investigating the incident.
