you are aware that we currently have NO ONE employed in the UAB marketing department, right ? NOBODY.

31 assists? Is that the most assists ever in one game?

3rd most.

37 vs. Alabama State 1989
32 vs. Lamar 1990
31 tonight

Well, it is the most assists in one game in twenty five years. Wow! That was four coaches ago.

I believe we only had 5 TOs at the half. 9 in the 2nd half with a lot of the subs in the game. Gives the coaches something to pick at after a blowout win.

They were hitting almost everything they three up there. I would say a strong finish.

I assume he meant being out scored 9-2 after the last media timeout (which I think is understandable and forgivable at that point)

After Smallwood's 3, we were outscored 13-4.

That was the back door cover I talked about in the other thread.

Why did they keep showing the Auburn kid the video screen?

so he would get booed?

He was so animated I wondered if was a plant...like so many of those viral mascot/opposing fan interactions on social media.

Before this game, JR Harris was a 29% three-point shooter. After this game, he's shooting 35% on the season.

UTSA really only has two guys that regularly shoot three's, Harris and Bowie. Harris went 10-14 from downtown, while Bowie went 2-5.

UTEP has four players that have made at least 15 three's so far this season. Likewise for UAB. You might be surprised who the fourth player is for UAB. His 3-pt shooting percentage is a hair higher than HaHa's free throw percentage.

You mean an Auburn kid kept looking at a TV???
I guess he was amazed by the wonders of modern technology...

IT need to be the only European on the team :)

Does anyone know how I defensive stats compare the rest of the league, or how to easily look up this information.

Nm. I found the rebounding/blk/steals stats on ESPN.

http://www.conferenceusa.com/sports/m-ba...fldrs.html

Overall Blazers are now 1st in C-USA:
Scoring Margin
FT %
FG %
3 PT %
Rebounding defense
Rebounding margin
Blocked shots
Assists
Assist/Turnover Ratio

I heard Ingram tried to give him a UAB shirt but he left very quickly. The API ijit, not Ingram.

Ingram gave a lady wearing a Roll Turd shirt a new UAB shirt and she put it on and wore it the rest of the game.

UAB FG%, FT%, and 3PT% are all in the low 70s nationally now.

#5 in the nation in Assists per game.
#19 Assist/TO ratio
#5 Blocks per game.

edit: and we have really nice stats, but obviously our SOS has something to do with it. Hilariously, I guess our SOS will only go up a few spots as we get into CUSA play more.

Smallwood is 4-7 from downtown, which is a great percentage of 57%. But I'm talking about the four players on UAB who have made at least 15 three's so far this season. They are as follows:

Brown 31-73 .425
Norton 24-67 .358
Williams 19-57 .333
Watts 15-28 .536

Denzell Watts is the fourth player.
