Can the Memphis Tigers Overcome UAB Blazers at Elma Roane Fieldhouse?

As the Memphis Tigers prepare to host the UAB Blazers at Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash on March 2nd promises to be a showcase of resilience and strategy.

The Tigers have displayed a pattern of strong finishes in their games, with a notable surge in the final quarters. In their last game against East Carolina's Pirates, they turned a slow start into a triumphant finish, scoring 29 points in the fourth quarter and sealing a narrow victory with 72 points over the Pirates' 70. This win was characterized by an impressive defensive effort that led to 15 steals and capitalized on turnovers with 27 points scored off them.

However, consistency has been an issue for Memphis. A few days prior against Charlotte's 49ers, they struggled from the field with only a 31 percent shooting rate and suffered from frequent turnovers which contributed to their defeat of 56-65. Despite this setback, they managed to maintain defensive pressure resulting in 13 steals.

Their most thrilling encounter came against Tulane's Green Wave where both teams pushed each other into overtime. The Tigers edged out with an exciting one-point victory (80-79), thanks again to their late-game tenacity and ability to score off turnovers – repeating the feat of earning 27 points from this avenue.

Playing at home should give Memphis an added advantage as they look forward to improving upon their two-point field goal percentage which has been hovering around just over one-third success rate recently. Fans can expect another gritty performance as they aim for back-to-back victories.

The game is scheduled for March 2nd at Elma Roane Fieldhouse starting at 8 PM local time (US/Central). For those who cannot attend in person, you can catch all the action live where it will be broadcasted for fans eager not to miss any moment of what promises to be another intense matchup for our Tigers.
