NEW ORLEANS -- Jaron Johnson and Kenyon McNeail both scored 14 points as Louisiana Tech crushed Tulane 73-45 on Thursday.

La Tech (15-3, 3-0 Conference USA) got 11 points from both Alex Hamilton and Chris Anderson. The Bulldogs shot 35.5 percent as a team, including 11 of 35 beyond the arc. They dominated on the boards, out-rebounding Tulane 53-37.

Tulane (9-9, 1-2) shot just 23 percent from the floor, including missing on all 14 3-point attempts.

Tulane cut it to nine early in the second half, but La Tech went on a 14-2 run to quash any comeback hopes.
