Tulane Green Wave – SR Cameron Reynolds

Tulane is another program that is currently struggling. They have had just one winning season (2012-13) this century and their last NCAA Tournament appearance was in the 1994-95 season. Last season was also extremely rough. With a 6-25 record, last year was Tulane’s worse since the 1989-90 season (4-24 record).

For this season, Tulane hopes to right the ship. In order to do that, senior Cameron Reynolds will need to have a massive season. Reynolds had a very good junior campaign, scoring 17.0 points and adding 6.8 rebounds per game, but it was not enough for Tulane to have a good season.

Although Reynolds is a talented scorer, the problem is that even when he dominates a game, the Green Wave still often times fall short. In games where Reynolds scored 20 or more points last season, Tulane was just 3-9.

Entering this season, Reynolds is going to need lots of help if Tulane is going to have a good season. Junior Melvin Frazier will likely be the second scoring option this season, and he will need to have a breakout season alongside Reynolds for Tulane to land in the middle of the conference.
