UAB (12/31/24)

[Andrew]

Refs took control, put us on our heels and now we are playing like crap. A few bad calls dictate games and it sucks.

Wonder if we have anybody deeper on the bench who could provide a spark. Guess we'll never know.

[BleedGreen4]

We have neutralized Lendenborg

[greenminer]

Blazers show once again that they are a problem for us.

[Big Z]

Houston Christian really got us ready 

[BleedGreen4]

Jossell trying to keep us in it with another 3.  He has 4 3s

Halftime

UNT 31

UAB 48

[3_n_out]

Some of our guys just aren’t smart

[greenminer]

Teams to score 40 or more in a half against us:

High Point (48)
Evansville (46)
UAB (48)

UAB has already matched or eclipsed game totals for:

Wayland (38)
Northern Iowa (48)
Miss Valley St (42)
Houston Christian (46)

[CMJ]

We'll need a Wisconsin-NIT like stretch to win this.

Good lord we’ve dug ourselves a massive hole. Blazers are running us out of the gym. Completely dominating the glass and physicality of the game. Shooting 64% from 3 as well. 

[BleedGreen4]

UAB has blown big leads this year.  Expecting the real UAB (7-6) to show up the 2nd half.

Nobody wants to play us. Don't you understand? Nobody!

Just getting outplayed at every single level

[GMG_Dallas]

I don't even care that we're losing. UAB has a good roster. I don't think their record accurately portrays how good they could be. What bothers me is being outrebounded 21-10, the 7 turnovers, 9 fouls giving them 16 free throws in a half (they average 21 per game), and not being able to get any consistent offense on the interior. Just a poor performance so far.

[BleedingGreen]

Their athleticism and size is better than ours .  Tyran Mason has build and athleticism to compete well in this game. 

[Tonto]

This team should never attempt a fast break again.  No one seems to know what to do with the ball.  We also seem terrified of UAB fast break so one of our guys shoots while the rest of team hangs out at half court.  No one is crashing boards and we are small already.

[Greendylan]

On the bright side, as a fan in attendance, this is excellent emotional preparation for the beatdown coming on Friday.

That is really reaching for a rainbow

Defensive intensity picked up, and Sissoko making a big difference.

[Green Lantern]

Good intensity to start the half and cut the lead to 10. Let’s keep grinding.

[BleedGreen4]

NIT Sissoko is in the building. 7-0 run!!!!

It hurt when he got 2 quick fouls early.  One call was terrible and the other was questionable 

[Big Z]

About time we wake up
