UAB Blazers Set to Clash with Wichita State Shockers at Bartow Arena

As the UAB Blazers prepare to host the Wichita State Shockers on their home court at Bartow Arena, fans are eager to see if they can maintain their recent momentum. The Blazers have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, but there's a positive trend emerging that suggests they could be finding their rhythm.

In their last game against North Texas Mean Green, despite a strong start matching 30 points in the first quarter, the Blazers couldn't sustain that intensity throughout and fell short with 77 points against Mean Green's 95. However, it's worth noting that UAB displayed solid shooting from inside the paint and from free-throw lines with percentages hovering around 57 and 76 respectively.

The previous away game saw them scoring less overall (72 points), but they demonstrated defensive prowess by racking up nine steals. Yet turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession thirteen times which translated into points for Tulsa Golden Hurricane who took advantage of these mistakes and secured an 84-point win.

However, looking back at another recent home performance against Rice Owls paints a more promising picture for UAB fans. The Blazers notched an impressive victory scoring 87 points while maintaining over fifty percent shooting accuracy both from the field and beyond the arc. Their fast break execution was particularly effective contributing twenty-five points to their total score.

It's clear that when playing at home, UAB tends to step up its game – something that could play a significant role when facing Wichita State Shockers. With improved ball control and capitalizing on fast breaks while continuing their efficient scoring inside could be key factors for another successful outing at Bartow Arena.

Fans can catch all the action on March 5th at six o'clock in Birmingham as these two teams go head-to-head in what promises to be an exciting matchup filled with strategic plays and high-energy basketball.
