The UAB_MBB Blazers enter the final four of the NIT at 28-9 overall, winning 15 of its last 17 games and setting the program record for wins in a season. Tipoff of their matchup with Utah Valley is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
The Blazers were picked to win C-USA in the league’s preseason coaches poll but finished third in the regular-season standings behind FAU and North Texas, both of whom are also still playing entering the final week of the college basketball postseason. The Owls defeated UAB in the C-USA tournament title game, advancing to the Final Four of the 2023 NCAA tournament this past weekend, and the Mean Green are currently positioned on the opposite side of the NIT semifinal bracket.
“I wish it was in Madison Square Garden,” Walker said. “To end my college career in New York, around family and friends, it would have been the best thing in the world and something only I could dream of.” Harmon leads the Wolverines in scoring with an average of 13.9 points, shooting 45.7 percent overall and adding 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals, followed by Darthard with 13.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals. Woodbury rounds out the group with 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists and produced an 11-11-11 triple-double against Stephen F. Austin.
Walker’s offerings aside, Trey “The Mayor” Jemison has been the most consistent player on the team -- averaging 9.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks -- and leads C-USA with 11 double-doubles this season. KJ Buffen has the ability to be the most formidable player on the court when not in foul trouble, averaging 10.8 points and 6.7 rebounds, and Eric Gaines, when maintaining possession, stacks the line with an average of 11.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals.
