Tulane came down on Pine Bluff's grandiose hopes with a dose of upset reality. And Pine Bluff's offense didn't help its cause. Twice within scoring distance Thoong threw interceptions. And four times in a row on Pine Bluff's last possession, UAPB receivers dropped passes that were in their hands -- Powell (twice), Inocente, and Zeigler. To further seal the deal, senior safety Dustin Evans destroyed any chance of forcing Tulane to give up possession when he brought the ball carrier down by his facemask and was flagged with a personal foul.

What a messy game it was. Thoong couldn't hit anything early on, and then when he finally started finding his targets, they started dropping the ball. Ugh.
