SMU Mustangs Set to Challenge UAB Blazers at Bartow Arena

As the SMU Mustangs prepare to face off against the UAB Blazers at Bartow Arena on March 10, fans are eager to see if the team can bounce back from recent performances. The Mustangs have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, with a particularly impressive victory against the Memphis Tigers where they scored an outstanding 106 points. That game highlighted their offensive prowess as they shot an impressive 57 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc.

However, consistency has been an issue for SMU. In their subsequent games against FAU and USF, they struggled with shooting accuracy, hitting only 34 percent and 39 percent of field goals respectively. Their three-point shooting also dipped significantly in these matches to just 25 and 27 percent.

Rebounding has been a strong suit for SMU; they outrebounded their opponents in two out of three past games, grabbing a notable total of 45 rebounds against USF. Yet turnovers and assists ratios have fluctuated – an area that will need tightening up before facing UAB.

The venue could play a role in this upcoming game as well; playing away at Bartow Arena may present additional challenges for SMU. The team will need to adapt quickly to maintain composure under pressure from both the Blazers and their supporters.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup on ESPN+ at 2:00 PM EST on March 10th. With both teams looking to assert dominance in conference play, it's set up to be a thrilling encounter that no fan should miss.
