The UAB Men's Basketball team (16-9, 7-5 American) defeated Tulsa (20-5, 8-4 American) 68-63 on Wednesday night in Oklahoma. UAB was led by a career-high 20 points from Dayjaun Anderson and a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds from Evan Chatman. The win marks the Blazers' sixth straight road conference victory, setting a new program record.

Why it matters

UAB's impressive road win streak demonstrates the team's resilience and ability to win tough games away from home, even with key players out. The Blazers' defensive effort, holding Tulsa to just 63 points, was also a critical factor in the victory.

The details

UAB debuted its 11th different lineup of the season, playing without head coach Andy Kennedy and two key players, Lindsay-Martin and Meyer. The Blazers also lost Ahmad Robinson to injury during the game. Despite the absences, UAB's defense was stifling, holding Tulsa to just 63 points, which tied the Golden Hurricane's season low. The Blazers shot 38% from the field, 41% from three, and 69% from the free-throw line.

  • UAB has now won six straight road conference games (seven overall in a row) to break the program record set in 1981-82.
  • Dayjaun Anderson scored a career-high 20 points and passed the 100-point mark this season.
  • Evan Chatman recorded his second straight double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds, surpassing 200 points this season.
