The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

The arena was real nice, but really didnt look 5200. The "announced" attendance was 2400 ish. I'm gonna call a BS on that.

Take that, you miserable "condoms!" That was for football! Revenge is a dish best served with wine.

No where close to 2000 in there I will throw th BS flag as well. Hell entire sections were empty and we are not talking about a 70000 seat facility. I stayed late talking to folks and they said only about 1,400 and some change. Hey they can announce a packed house for all I care but it just another overly inflated number like they do in football and our media is too sackless to call them on it. They would rather perform a witch hunt with UAB.

Nice job to Terrance Jones. I've been hard on him and he had a real nice game on the road: 14 pts, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and only 1 turnover. We need him to keep it up to be a factor in C-USA.

Yeah. He sometimes get so caught in being a PG that his offense suffers. Nice overall game tonight.

I liked the lineup last night with TJ at the 2, QT running point, and Robert as a 3rd guard. UAB needs QT to play well but he's got to eliminate the unforced turnovers. His jumper also seems to have disappeared.

What's the story on Tyler? 4 minutes, 0-1 shooting.

Is he sick, back in the doghouse or what?

I think the deal is he is about the sixth or seventh best player on the team. Sure, he can jump through the ceiling. His on court decision making is just not where it needs to be.

As far as starting 5's go, I'd like to see the following:

QT
TJ
Swing
Rob
Rucker

First out: Faz, Preston, Jekore

Yeah but we only had 7 points off the bench. That's going to bite us at some point

Tyler made two quick boneheaded decisions and was yanked and never sen again.

Myers said the fast pace of the UAB offense had the Trojans a little out of sync.
from the Dothan Eagle:

“We haven’t played against a team that was going to push back and forth with us,” Myers said. “We’re not used to that. We’re used to teams just coming down and setting it up.

“But they were pushing it back at us when we were pushing it at them. It had us out of sync a little bit, running back in transition. Our rotations were kind of late and it just messed us up, and their intensity on defense with denying the passing lanes and stuff like that.”


sounds like "Haase-Fast" to me...

About time.

Also sounds like Troy is poorly coached
