UAB Blazers to Face SMU Mustangs at Bartow Arena in Women's Basketball

As the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers prepare to face off against the Southern Methodist University Mustangs at Bartow Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 14th, promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's college basketball.

The UAB Blazers have shown a pattern of resilience and tactical play throughout their past games. On December 21st against Saint Joseph's Hawks, despite a loss with a score of 57-63, the Blazers demonstrated their ability to maintain pressure on their opponents throughout all four quarters. Their scoring was consistent and they showcased an impressive free throw percentage of 85 percent.

However, it was during the game on December 20th against Wagner Seahawks that UAB truly shined. Dominating with a final score of 79-39, they displayed an aggressive defense that resulted in an astounding number of steals – fourteen in total – which translated into points off turnovers. Their field goal percentage stood at 44 percent while maintaining an even higher free throw accuracy at nearly 90 percent.

In contrast to these performances was the game on December 12th where UAB hosted South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs. The Blazers emerged victorious with a scoreline of 69-54 but struggled from two-point range shooting only around 29 percent; however, they compensated for this by converting ten three-pointers and excelling once again from the free-throw line with an accuracy rate above 86 percent.

The SMU Mustangs should not be underestimated though; as any seasoned sports analyst knows, every team has its strengths and can surprise you on any given day. Yet based on recent performances and statistics alone, it seems likely that UAB will control the pace of this upcoming game through their defensive prowess and efficient scoring from both inside the paint and beyond the arc.

With home-court advantage playing into their hands along with consistent shooting efficiency especially from free throws which could prove pivotal in close encounters – there is reason for optimism among Blazer fans.

Mark your calendars for January 14th when these two teams clash at Bartow Arena in Birmingham at precisely eight o'clock PM local time (Central Time). For those unable to attend in person, unfortunately no broadcast networks have been announced yet but stay tuned for updates as tip-off approaches.
