NCAA Basketball action resumes today when the UAB welcome the Rams in what should be an entertaining match at the Bartow Arena. If you plan to watch UAB vs Virginia Commonwealth live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Blazers vs Rams preview below.
UAB Blazers vs VCU Rams
The Blazers go into this one with a 80% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the VCU Rams. UAB will be sure to keep an eye on the current Virginia Commonwealth streak (Won 1), and take necessary precautions. The Blazers are averaging 70.6 ppg this season (good for number 161 in the NCAA), but not as good as the Rams’s 75.3 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Rams will need to play to their strengths and their 9.5 steals per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 19 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Virginia Commonwealth are 7-3 this season overall (1-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association) and today will hope to improve their 2 – 3 record away from Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart C. Siegel Center.
UAB have been dominating their opponents this season in the freethrow percentage departement. Their 73.7 freethrow percentage is the number 45 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Virginia Commonwealth coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen UAB’s 5 – 0 home record. After 10 games, the Blazers hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Conference USA.The 8,508 expected fans in the Bartow Arena will be in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch UAB Blazers vs VCU Rams online live streaming on ESPN3 or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
