UAB Snaps Losing Skid With Well-Rounded Performance Against UTEP
Six Blazers finished the night scoring double-digit point totals in an important win.
CONFERENCE USA BASKETBALL: UTEP AT UAB
The Blazers bounced back with a well-balanced performance on Thursday night. UAB had six different players score double digits in points on their way to an 83-75 home victory over UTEP.
Lewis Sullivan led the team in scoring by tying his season high with 19 points on 7 of 8 shooting off the bench. Guard Nick Darling buoyed the Blazers in the first half with a trio of first-half three-point shots. He scored 17 points on perfect 6 for 6 shooting – including 4 threes.
Chris Cokley struggled early offensively but redeemed himself with a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double night. William “HaHa” Lee had two blocks – including one in the final moments that made him the all-time career leader in blocked shots. He finished the game with 10 points and 5 rebounds.
Omega Harris and Isaiah Osbourne disappointed. Harris scored 9 points on 2 for 7 shooting - including 1 for 6 from beyond the arc. Osbourne scored just three points – he shot abysmal 1 for 11 from the field. Center Matt Willms was effective on offense, but got into foul trouble early and only played 18 minutes. He finished with 8 points.
The schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Miners, as they head to Murfreesboro to take on the defending back-to-back champion Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in another tough road test.
Join us next Thursday as beIN SPORTS heads to San Antonio, Texas for the first time. The red-hot Marshall Thundering Herd (14-6 overall, 5-2 C-USA) take their high-flying offense to the Convocation Center to play the UTSA Roadrunners (10-11 overall, 3-4 C-USA) at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT.
