The game saw the Blazers dominate in scoring throughout both halves, putting up 47 points in the first and an impressive 53 in the second.

The Temple Owls faced a challenging opponent on their home court at Liacouras Center. Despite a valiant effort, they fell short against a potent UAB offense that shot an exceptional 61 percent from the field and 56 percent from beyond the arc. The Blazers' efficiency was evident as they sank 37 field goals and added another ten from three-point range.

On defense, both teams were evenly matched with three blocks each; however, UAB's six steals contributed to their aggressive defensive play. In contrast, Temple managed only three steals during the game. The rebounding battle was decisively won by UAB with a total of 41 rebounds compared to Temple's 19.

Temple's offensive efforts were led by converting two-point attempts at a rate of 55 percent but struggled from long range making only eight out of twenty-one three-point shots for a modest thirty-eight percent success rate. Free throw shooting was consistent for both teams as each made sixteen free throws on twenty-four attempts resulting in sixty-seven percent accuracy.

The Owls also had difficulty maintaining possession, turning over the ball ten times which led to fourteen points off turnovers for UAB. Conversely, UAB kept better control over their play with just seven turnovers despite playing aggressively which resulted in nineteen fast break points.
