It’s been said by me many times and I’ll say it yet again: we need the UAB series to kickoff again soon! It may not be this year due to the obvious but hopefully no later than next season we will see the Tigers and Blazers back on the court together. This game got really chippy and that’s probably one reason we didn’t see this matchup last year.
It was a great atmosphere inside Legacy Arena as Ryan Sterritt and I made the trip to Birmingham to catch this one in person. It was also a chance to welcome Danjel Purifoy back to the lineup after missing all of the previous season and 9 games due to suspension.
