UAB Blazers Set to Clash with Temple Owls at Liacouras Center
As the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers prepare to face off against the Temple Owls, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Blazers have shown a strong offensive presence in their past games, despite some fluctuations in performance.
In their most recent match against Tulane's Green Wave, the Blazers secured a victory with 78 points, showcasing an impressive 66 percent success rate from two-point range and a solid overall field goal percentage of 54. Their ability to score from inside the paint was evident as they racked up 44 points in that area alone. Additionally, they demonstrated good ball movement with 21 assists and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 17 points off them.
However, just prior to that win, UAB faced a challenging game against Rice's Owls where they fell short by scoring only 71 points compared to Rice's high-flying offense which put up an impressive 94 points. The Blazers struggled particularly from two-point range where they only shot at a rate of 32 percent but managed better accuracy from beyond the arc hitting nearly 39 percent of three-point attempts.
Against North Texas' Mean Green earlier still, UAB managed another win with a scoreline mirroring their most recent victory (71-62). They showed defensive prowess with nine blocks and kept turnovers low but had room for improvement in assist-to-turnover ratio.
The upcoming game is set for March 7th at Philadelphia's Liacouras Center – an away venue for UAB which could influence the dynamics on court given home advantage factors. Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on ESPN2 at local time (6:00 PM CST). With both teams looking to assert dominance early on, it promises to be an enthralling encounter as each side battles for supremacy on the hardwood.
