They suffered a close defeat against Saint Joseph's Hawks with a score of 57-63, where they struggled with personal fouls and turnovers but showed strength from the free-throw line with an impressive 85 percent accuracy. However, they bounced back strongly in their next game against Wagner Seahawks, securing a commanding victory of 79-39. Their defensive prowess was evident as they racked up 14 steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 34 points off them.
The most recent home game for UAB saw them overcome South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs with a scoreline of 69-54. The Blazers demonstrated solid defense with eight steals and four blocks while maintaining good discipline by committing only ten turnovers.
Bartow Arena has proven to be a fortress for UAB where they can leverage the support of their fans. With an attendance that can reach over eight thousand spectators, it provides an electrifying atmosphere that often fuels the team's energy and performance.
Looking ahead at this encounter, it is crucial for UAB to maintain their strong defensive efforts while also improving on field goal percentages which have been inconsistent across past games. If they can harness the energy from playing at home and continue converting opportunities created from turnovers into points, there is potential for another successful outcome.
