The Cougars (4-2) hit the road for the first time in over a month to take on Southeastern Louisiana (3-1) in Hammond, La., at noon on Friday before meeting a red-hot Tulane squad at 11 a.m., Saturday in New Orleans. The Green Wave are currently 8-1 and 2-0 in league action and are coming off an upset win over nationally-ranked Penn State.
