Norton steals the ball, passes to Madison who scores. UAB up 2.

Five second violation on JSU. UAB ball!!!! 53 secs to go.

Defense finally stepping up.

Timeout UAB. 39 seconds to go.

Madison!

We need a basket and a two possession game here.

Tyler. 4 point lead.

Thank you Madison for cleaning up that garbage layup by Brown!

Going to the line with a 4 point lead and 12 seconds to go.

We survive.

Good basketball last few minutes. Tough to walk away with anything positive, but I'll take the W.

Baxter hits two. Brown steals it and lays it up. UAB wins 58-50.

Brown is the leading scorer with 12. Norton, Baxter and Madison with 8.

Nobody had more than 3 rebounds.

A bunch of young players made plays in the clutch. That is something they can build on.

Wisconsin is not going to be pretty.

No Wisconsin will probably look pretty good. UAB is not going to be pretty.

The young guys are establishing that this is their team. We need to play Madison more. Washington and Brown continue to disappoint.

One plus. We are back to shooting over 80% from the line. Three of our four games have been at least 80%

I didn't get to watch this game, but I don't understand why we're taking so many 3s. And why are we getting out rebounded so hard in games this season? We had pretty comparable average heights to Jackson St. and got destroyed on rebounds by a 6'3 sophomore.

In the last 2 games, UAB opponents have had 51 turnovers. UAB has had 15 steals and 32 turnovers, but only 10 in the second halves.

They have been mostly open threes that are not falling.

I think we are just getting outmuscled for rebounds. This team needs to bulk up.
