ANALYSIS:
If you see UAB on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They are ranked #192 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 19-13. Of the 14 schools in Conference USA (average ranking 175.6), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for UAB this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 173rd in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UAB is a solid rebounding team that will deny the opposition chances to score off of offensive rebounds. They have a rating of 11.13 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 50th in the country).

UAB is not quite as good on the offensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 219th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 96 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UAB has been below-average more times than not when shooting three-pointers this year. They are ranked 279th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 31.4% of their attempts from long vs. AO. If UAB does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 63.4% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 44th in the country.

UAB has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #49 ranking in positive momentum. On the road, UAB performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 42nd in our away-from-home metric.
