The Tulane men's basketball team and head coach Dave Dickerson, shown at left in the center of a huddle, begin Conference USA games this month. Matt Wheaton, right, a junior guard from Katy, Texas, and his Green Wave teammates will play the University of Alabama-Birmingham in Fogelman Arena on Saturday (Jan. 13) at 2 p.m. The game time, originally 7 p.m., was changed to avoid conflict with the New Orleans Saints' playoff game.
