Daeshun Ruffin sank both free throws for Jackson State’s only lead of the night. Dorian McMillian then blocked TJ Nadeau’s 3-point shot off an inbounds pass, and Jackson State celebrated its second-ever victory over Tulane, 87-85 at Devlin Fieldhouse.It was quite a turnaround for Lewis, who had scored 40 points in the season opener on Monday—the highest total for a Tulane player in 52 years. This time, he committed his fifth turnover in the last minute, losing the ball out of bounds, before making decisive mistake.Carson Schwieger and TJ Nadeau, each starting after coming off the bench in the double-overtime opening win against Tennessee-Martin, paced six Tulane players in double figures with 16 points. KJ Greene added a career-high 8 assists.“It was not even so much what happened at the end,” Tulane coach Ron Hunter said. “When you have 17 turnovers and miss nine free throws, that was the difference. We just went to kind of hero ball in the sense of trying to hit home runs and make spectacular plays. It cost us.”McMillian led Jackson State (1-1) with 23 points and 7 rebounds. It was the Tigers’ second victory ever against the Wave, following one in 1992-93 when Lindsey Hunter scored 28 points. Ruffin, who was the nation’s fifth-leading scorer last season with 23.3 points per game, came nowhere near that memorable night from Hunter, finishing with 17 points on 4-of-15 shooting, but he still hit the game-winners.Until the final sequence, Tulane (1-1) kept repelling Jackson State’s attempts to go ahead. Tyler Ringgold blocked Archbishop Shaw product Kobe Butler’s lay-up that would have given the Tigers their first lead in the second half, setting up Lewis’s 3-point play at the other end. An incredibly similar scenario occurred in the final minute when Joah Chappelle swatted a lay-up attempt by Dorian McMillian in a tie game.Nothing about the first half resembled the opening 20 minutes against Tennessee-Martin.Lewis took only one shot through 15 minutes and got his first basket on a 3 with 3:10 left. But after going 3 for 11 from long range in the first half on Monday, Tulane sank four in the first 10 minutes, including three from Nadeau. He was fouled on the last one, hitting a free throw for a 4-point play that gave the Wave a 30-15 lead with 10:43 left.Nadeau and Schwieger combined for 21 of the Wave’s 42 points before the break.Tulane still led 42-32 later, but a sloppy end to the half allowed the advantage to dwindle to 42-38. The Wave missed two free throws and its last four shots from the floor while committing two turnovers in that span, which included a quick 3-point attempt from Nadeau that drew Hunter’s ire because he could have held for the last shot of the half and freshman Noah Mister’s subsequent foul of a 3-pointer shooter at the other end with 3.2 seconds left.</div></body>
