What to Know
We’ve got another exciting American Athletic matchup on schedule as the Tulane Green Wave and the UAB Blazers are set to tip at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Bartow Arena. Both are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
UAB is hoping to do what UTSA couldn’t on Saturday: put an end to Tulane’s winning streak, which now stands at three games. Tulane steamrolled past UTSA 92-63. The Green Wave have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 28 points or more this season.
Tulane can attribute much of their success to Kaleb Banks, who went 11 for 15 en route to 24 points plus six rebounds and three steals, and Rowan Brumbaugh, who went 8 for 10 en route to 23 points plus six assists and five rebounds. Banks’ evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 22.4 points. Kam Williams was another key player, posting 11 points along with two blocks.
Even though they won, Tulane struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only three offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve posted since back in January of 2024.
Meanwhile, there’s no place like home for UAB, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road on Tuesday. They claimed a resounding 83-51 victory over Tulsa. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 42-22.
UAB can attribute much of their success to Alejandro Vasquez, who had 27 points in addition to two steals. What’s more, Vasquez also racked up four threes, the most he’s had since back in January of 2024. Another player making a difference was Christian Coleman, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Tulane pushed their record up to 8-7 with the win, which was their third straight at home. As for UAB, they now also have a winning record of 8-7.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Tulane hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.7 points per game. However, it’s not like UAB struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 85.1. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Tulane came up short against UAB in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, falling 78-67. Can Tulane avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.
