Following a surprising blowout loss to Rice, where the Owls' impressive shooting performance secured a victory against UAB, the Blazers look to bounce back. UAB, who had been on a winning streak of five out of their last six games, will aim to recover quickly from this setback. One of their key victories was against Tulane on January 17, where they dominated the boards and saw a stellar performance from transfer player G Alejandro Vasquez who scored a season-high 28 points.

Meanwhile, Tulane is struggling, having lost six of their last seven games due to defensive deficiencies. Despite this, UAB remains a strong contender in the AAC conference and has a history of bouncing back from losses. Fans can expect a competitive game as UAB aims to continue their winning ways after a recent upset.
