UAB Looks to Carry Its Rebounding Edge on the Road

UAB averages 80.0 points and 41.7 rebounds per game, with Jeremy Elyzee leading the team at 7.7 rebounds per game. Deuce Jones leads the Blazers in scoring at 15.3 points per game. That rebounding production could help UAB create extra possessions if its shooting proves uneven.

The Blazers have responded to an opening 99-78 loss to McNeese at a neutral site with two wins at Bartow Arena. They held off Nicholls 70-63 before beating Florida A&M 92-64, a shift from a narrow victory to a more comfortable one. The McNeese result remains a reminder that UAB has also been vulnerable defensively. This matchup presents a different test: neither of the two wins came away from Bartow Arena, so the Blazers still have to show that their recent results travel.

Jacksonville State Seeks a Reset After Two Road Losses

Jacksonville State averages 83.0 points and 18.3 assists per game, suggesting an offense capable of moving the ball and finding scoring options. Jordan Stiemke leads the team with 18.0 points per game, while Chris Lockett Jr. averages 6.0 assists. The challenge is turning that production into a steadier defensive performance.

The Gamecocks opened with a 123-59 home win over LaGrange, then lost two road games that posed very different problems. They stayed close at South Alabama in an 83-80 defeat but scored only 46 points in a 92-46 loss at Houston. Those results make it difficult to treat the opener as a reliable picture of their offense against this opponent. Returning home gives Jacksonville State a chance to respond, though its most recent outing leaves a substantial question about how consistently it can score.
