WHAT TO WATCH FOR: How did Tulane go from a 15-win regular season to a spot in the NCAA regionals? The Green Wave ran the table in the American Athletic Conference tournament, and Dylan Carmouche played a big part in that. He allowed three hits and three walks in eight innings against Memphis, then came back on two days' rest to throw three more innings in the title game against East Carolina. Tulane has not named a starter for Friday's game, but the left-handed Carmouche is a good bet.
