UAB Blazers Set to Face Wagner Seahawks at Michael J. Hagan '85 Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers prepare to take on the Wagner Seahawks at Michael J. Hagan '85 Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The UAB Blazers, coming off a decisive 73-62 victory over Nicholls State on December 9th, are looking to carry that momentum into their upcoming match.
The Blazers' performance against Nicholls State was a showcase of their offensive prowess, with a remarkable third quarter where they scored 31 points. Their shooting was impressive; they made 54 percent from two-point range and an outstanding 48 percent from beyond the arc. This level of accuracy will be crucial as they face the Seahawks.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for UAB in recent games. On December 3rd, despite a strong final quarter push scoring 25 points against Auburn Tigers, the Blazers fell short with only a 29 percent field goal percentage and lost by ten points (72-62). This inconsistency is something that will need addressing if they hope to dominate against Wagner.
But let's not dwell on past shortcomings; instead, let us focus on UAB's resounding win over Mississippi Valley State Devilettes on November 30th where they dominated with an impressive scoreline of 88-56. The team showed depth in offense and defense alike – sinking shots at nearly a fifty percent clip from the field and an astounding ninety-two percent from the free-throw line while also pulling down fifty-two rebounds.
The key takeaway here is that when UAB finds its rhythm early in the game, it can be unstoppable. With players who can effectively score both inside and out as well as control the boards, this team has all it takes to outplay any opponent.
On defense too, there’s much for fans to be optimistic about: The Blazers have demonstrated their ability to limit opponents’ scoring opportunities through effective steals and blocks while maintaining discipline by committing fewer personal fouls than many rivals.
Looking ahead at their encounter with Wagner Seahawks scheduled for December 20th at six o'clock PM Eastern Time in Philadelphia – fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle action right from tip-off. If UAB can harness its proven offensive firepower while tightening up any defensive lapses seen in previous outings – there’s every reason to believe another win could be added to their record.
Blazers enthusiasts eager not just hear but see how this game unfolds should note that although no broadcast networks have been announced yet for this particular matchup – keeping close tabs on university sports channels might prove fruitful for live coverage details closer to game day.
