UAB (2/9/23)

[CMJ]

We need a big crowd.  I would hope we can get one, because this is a huge game for seeding.

[TheColonyEagle]

UAB is on a roll lately too….

I think their top player us back as well.

I'm worried.  I think UAB is coming into form, and we are seeing the Blazer version that everyone picked to win CUSA...and this version is also pissed.

I agree that they are coming into form, but so are we. the last four games have gone well, especially that W over Rice. It'll be a good game, but i'm hoping our crowd crushes it

[CMJ]

I don't have high hopes, but we need a crowd of 5K+ for this one.

[Green Otaku]

Tough game. We've been seeing some different things lately like driving into the lane by both Perry and Huntsberry, backdoor cuts, Sissoko getting more minutes, etc. Let's hope the put it all together for this game and take the W. 

[Big Z]

Looking forward to being at this one! 

[Shark 64]

Hope Martinez will be playing?

[UNTLifer]

If our defensive effort is equal to what they had in Birmingham recently, we should be fine.  Won't be an easy game with Walker back.

Sissoko has really come around these last few games. Don't remember him playing earlier in the season.

[Cooke County Kid]

Is this game being promoted with the students I hope!

He honestly hasn't had much time until now. vs UTEP it was foul trouble for Ousmane, and vs. Rice we didn't play Martinez so he was the option off the bench. I just hope he can continue to develop and get 8-10mins a game.

I wonder why Martinez didn't play against Rice.

Some were saying he had some kind of protective headgear, so maybe an undisclosed injury.

I wasn't able to attach this picture while at the game because of the size.  Looks like a headband to me.

 

[UNTLifer]

He always wears a headband.

Heard it was a back issue but he should be back for UAB.
