As the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers prepare to welcome the Florida Atlantic Owls to the Bartow Arena, fans can anticipate a competitive clash in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for February 1st, will see the Blazers trying to capitalize on their home-court advantage.

The UAB Blazers have shown a mix of performances in their recent outings. In their last game against Saint Joseph's Hawks, they fell short with 57 points against the Hawks' 63. Despite a strong start and maintaining consistency through quarters three and four with 16 points each, it wasn't enough to secure victory. The team showed proficiency from the free-throw line with an impressive 85 percent accuracy but struggled with turnovers which had a turnover-to-assist ratio below one.

However, looking back at another recent match-up against Wagner Seahawks reveals a different story where UAB dominated with a commanding win scoring 79 points over Wagner's mere 39. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up an impressive number of steals leading to fast break opportunities and capitalizing on turnovers by scoring 34 points off them. This performance was complemented by solid shooting from both inside and beyond the arc.

In another notable performance at their home venue earlier this season against South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs, UAB clinched victory with a score of 69-54 showcasing balanced offense and defense throughout all quarters. They excelled particularly in assists showing good ball movement which translated into high-percentage shots.

The trends suggest that when UAB controls turnovers and leverages fast breaks effectively while maintaining strong defense leading to opponent turnovers, they are tough competitors especially on their home court where they have demonstrated resilience before supportive fans.

As we approach game day at Bartow Arena located in Birmingham AL (zip code:35233), supporters should expect an energetic environment conducive for UAB’s dynamic play style that could potentially overwhelm visiting teams like Florida Atlantic Owls if past performances are any indicators.

Fans can catch all the action live on February 1st; details regarding broadcast networks will be available closer to game day ensuring all supporters have access to what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams.
