On Sunday, the South Florida Bulls (12-13) hit the road to take on the UAB Blazers (15-9) at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Bulls have shown flashes of promise throughout the season but have struggled to maintain consistency, recently slipping below the .500 mark. They opened the campaign 5-6, suffering defeats against Florida, Charleston, Middle Tennessee, Loyola, Utah State, and Bethune-Cookman while securing wins over AR-Pine Bluff, West Georgia, Portland, Wright State, and Stetson. After putting together a four-game winning streak against East Texas A&M, Webber International, East Carolina, and Wichita State, South Florida has stumbled, going just 3-7 over their last 10 outings. Their victories in that span came against Tulsa, Rice, and Temple, while they fell short against Tulane, UAB, Charlotte, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Wichita State, and Memphis. That puts them at 12-13 through their first 25 games.
The Blazers, meanwhile, had a rocky start, going 7-7 in their first 14 matchups. They dropped games to Vermont, High Point, Longwood, Illinois State, Middle Tennessee, Arkansas State, and North Texas but managed to pick up wins over Southern Miss, SE Louisiana, Auburn-Montgomery, Louisiana, Prairie View, Alabama A&M, and Alcorn State. However, UAB has been red-hot lately, winning eight of their last 10 games, with their only setbacks coming against Memphis and East Carolina. During this impressive stretch, they have taken down Tulsa, Tulane, Florida Atlantic, South Florida, UTSA, Tulsa, Charlotte, and North Texas, improving to 15-9 through 24 games.
