CUSA Action (3//21/15)

[CMJ]

(14) UAB

vs (11) UCLA

[CMJ]

Tied at 7 at the first media TO; like the way the Blazer look.

[CMJ]

UAB 15-13 at the second media TO

UCLA really struggling with the activity of the Blazers defense. Bruins already with several turnovers.

[CMJ]

Blazers had built a 6 point advantage, but UCLA on a 12-2 run I think.

Why did the UAB post player not just go up with it when he was open? He literally waited for the defender to collapse on him and took a contested shot. UAB is about too be down five. They need to start pushing it.

[Ben Gooding]

UAB must cut off Alford on his drives. They need to consider post trapping Parker as well, he's killing them.

[CMJ]

Parker, Alford, and Powell are all deadly. UAB is going to have a tough time deciding where to focus.

Never ever thought I'd say it, but go Blazers.

[CMJ]

Bruins up 46-37 at the half.

Just like in football, take the easiest option away. Which in this case is Parker.

Powell is their best player. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go off for 25 if UAB focuses on Parker.

[CMJ]

UCLA still up nine at the first media TO. The Bruins are not deep, so if the Blazers can hang around, they may be able to make a run around the 7 minute mark when UCLA starts to tire.

[CMJ]

UAB making their run a few minutes before I expected. Down to six...

[CMJ]

Unfortunately UCLA responded with a mini-run of their own. The game seems to have stabilized back at the 9-12 point margin the majority of this half has been played at.

[CMJ]

Things looking grim for UAB now.

[UNT90]

They represented well.

[CMJ]

UCLA 92

UAB 75

Final

Blazers were a good conference rep for us, even with this loss. Congrats to them on a tremendous run.
