UAB Blazers Set to Face Wichita State Shockers at Charles Koch Arena

As the UAB Blazers prepare to take on the Wichita State Shockers at Charles Koch Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting clash in women's basketball. The Blazers have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, and they will be looking to assert their dominance on the court once again.

In their last game against Saint Joseph's Hawks, the Blazers fell short with a score of 57 points against the Hawks' 63. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their free-throw accuracy was impressive at 85 percent. However, they struggled with turnovers (13) and had a low assists-to-turnover ratio (0.46), which they will need to address before facing the Shockers.

The previous game saw a more favorable outcome for UAB as they secured a commanding victory over Wagner Seahawks with 79 points to Wagner's 39. Their defensive prowess was evident as they racked up an impressive 14 steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 34 points off them. Their field goal percentage stood at a solid 44 percent and free throw accuracy was exceptional at nearly 90 percent.

Against South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs earlier in December, UAB showcased resilience on home turf by winning with a score of 69-54. They demonstrated strong defensive capabilities with eight steals and four blocks while maintaining high free throw proficiency at around 86 percent.

As we look ahead to their upcoming match-up in Wichita, Kansas, it is clear that maintaining strong defense while improving ball handling will be crucial for UAB's success. The venue itself could play into this dynamic; Charles Koch Arena is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could influence both teams' performances.

Fans can catch all the action from this highly anticipated game scheduled for January 26th – details about broadcast networks are yet to be announced but stay tuned for updates as we approach game day.
