In a commanding display of basketball, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers outperformed the Montevallo Falcons with a final score of 92-56. The Blazers' season record now stands impressively at 1-0, while the Falcons fall to 0-1.


UAB Blazers VS Drake Bulldogs

The game, held at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, saw the UAB Blazers take control from the outset. Dominating both halves with scores of 44 and 48 respectively, they showcased an offensive clinic against their opponents. The Blazers' shooting was particularly effective; they hit an impressive 49 percent from the field on 73 attempts and were lethal from inside the paint where they scored a substantial 56 points.


Defensively, UAB was just as formidable. They managed to keep Montevallo to a mere 39 percent shooting efficiency and were relentless in forcing turnovers which resulted in a staggering total of 38 points off turnovers for UAB. The defensive pressure applied by UAB led to them accumulating an impressive total of 14 steals throughout the game.


The fast break also proved to be a key aspect for UAB as they racked up an impressive tally of fast break points totaling up to 36. This high-paced transition play kept Montevallo on their heels and contributed significantly to extending their lead.


On top of that, free throws were nearly automatic for UAB as they converted them with an accuracy rate rounding up to an excellent percentage rate close to perfection. Their prowess on second-chance opportunities was evident too with additional points contributing positively towards their comprehensive victory margin.


The team's synergy was apparent through their assists count which stood tall at twenty-one — showcasing unselfish play and cohesion among teammates. In contrast, Montevallo struggled with ball movement which is reflected in their lower assist count.


Despite putting forth effort into rebounding where Montevallo secured thirty-two rebounds overall including seven offensive boards leading them towards ten second-chance points — it wasn't enough against a well-rounded performance by UAB who outrebounded them significantly securing forty-three rebounds themselves including ten offensively which led directly into twelve second-chance points.
