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

Their best win was a one-pt, home win over Stony Brook. Stony Brook is ranked 52nd by KenPom and are 16-4 and 7-0. WKU has also beaten Indiana State (109).

Their worst loss was by 10 at Rice (278).

KenPom.com has it UAB 74 - WKU 73.

We need to show out tonight and have a huge game. Being on Fox1, this will probably be the most national exposure we have had all year.

We should have added stony brook to the schedule

I was thinking the same thing. Them and Indiana state.

We've had a game on CBS sports I thought? I'd put those two channels on the same tier.

http://www.whatyoupayforsports.com/numbers/

Fox sports is in 84 million homes homes. CBS Sports are in 61 million homes

Fox Sports Annual revenue = 1.3 billion
CBS Sports Annual revenue = 190 million

WKU's OOC SOS is ranked 80th, compared to UAB's 311th.

In addition to Stony Brook and Indiana St., WKU has also played against Belmont (102), Xavier (15), and Louisville (3).

In conference games only, WKU leads C-USA in percent of offensive rebounds. They are 6th in free throw %. Defensively, they are the worst in defense efficiency, and worst in 2-Pt %. They are also 11th in 3-Pt %.

Being worst in 2-pt% probably is why they lead in offensive rebounds

as MB said, more people have FS1.

however, even if it didn't, i think this game will have more eyes, just b/c of the votes in the polls. there are lots of people who haven't given UAB a thought who recently saw that we've gotten votes in both polls. that caused them to look at our record. that is going to lead a lot of people to say "i should tune in to see if this team is for real"

They are the worst in defending the 2 pointer, not shooting it. They are 7th in shooting it.

anyone have any helpful russian links for the cordcutters among us?

My FS1 is just a black screen right now. FS2 is on though.

Team UAB can score in the paint, score on the perimeter, score on free throws, get a lot of assists, get a lot of rebounds, and block a lot of shots. They can play man and zone. They can run, all ten of them who are being shuffled in and out of the game. They are experienced. They have continuity. Their statistics are exceptionally good in several areas. What else can you say about them, thirty minutes before tip off? Western Kentucky knows they have their hands full, this evening. Can't wait until tip-off for another exciting game.

game is live.

Marshall is up on MTSU 24-17 with 7 left in the first.

Cokley and Lee starting up front.

Already gave up our first putback score.
