Overview
- UAB fell at Bartow Arena to a SWAC opponent for the first time in program history after entering the game 78-0 against the league.
- The Blazers went 2-for-20 from three and missed their first 18 attempts before Chance Westry hit two in the final minute.
- Alabama State built an early 14-4 cushion, weathered UAB’s second-half surge to a 55-47 lead, and held firm in the closing moments.
- Westry trimmed the deficit to one in the final seconds, but the Hornets converted free throws and intercepted the last inbound to secure the win.
- Reports differ on the final score (77-74 vs 77-75) and on guard Anderson’s first name spelling, with the official box score needed for confirmation; UAB hosts High Point on Friday, while Alabama State returns home before a trip to Colorado.
