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.
