Clash at Bartow Arena: UAB Blazers and Alabama A&M Bulldogs in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers prepare to host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Bartow Arena, fans are gearing up for an exciting encounter in women's basketball. The Blazers' performance last season sets a backdrop for what we can expect in this upcoming game.


UAB Blazers VS Drake Bulldogs

Analyzing the previous season's data, it is evident that the UAB Blazers have areas where they shine and others where they could improve. With an overall field goal percentage of 35 percent, there is room for growth in their shooting efficiency. However, their free throw percentage was a more respectable 73 percent, indicating that they can capitalize on opportunities at the line.


The true shooting percentage stood at 45 percent, which combines two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and free throws into one percentage that gives a true measure of a team's ability to score efficiently. The three-point shooting was less impressive at 25 percent; thus focusing on improving from beyond the arc could be beneficial for upcoming games.


On average per game last season, UAB recorded 53 points with contributions across the board—11 assists reflect teamwork while pulling down approximately 27 rebounds shows tenacity on both ends of the court. Defensively speaking, with nearly three blocks and two steals per game but averaging 17 personal fouls and 16 turnovers indicates that while aggressive defensively, maintaining control will be crucial to avoid giving away easy points.


Looking ahead to their match against Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Bartow Arena—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—the Blazers will need to leverage home-court advantage effectively. Fans can anticipate a determined effort from UAB as they look to build upon last year’s statistics and convert those close shots into points.


Mark your calendars for November 6th at 8 PM local time in Birmingham when these two teams face off. For those unable to attend in person, details regarding broadcast networks or streaming services will be provided closer to game day so fans won't miss any action from this anticipated matchup.
