This game marks the 42nd meeting between Tulane and UAB, with Tulane trailing in the all-time series 14-27. Last season, each team won its home game, with Tulane defeating UAB 85-68 in New Orleans during the regular season finale on March 9, 2025. That win ended a seven-game home losing streak for Tulane against UAB.
In their most recent game, Tulane defeated UTSA 85-52 on January 10, securing a fifth consecutive victory and marking their first 3-0 start in conference play since the late nineties. During that game, Tulane made a program-record 19 three-pointers, which also tied an American Conference record for threes made in a single contest—a mark previously achieved by Memphis and UTSA in earlier seasons.
Rowan Brumbaugh led the team with a game-high of 23 points against UTSA, including six three-pointers. He also contributed seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals. Following this performance, Brumbaugh received an honorable mention from the American Conference weekly awards for a second straight week.
UAB enters Wednesday’s matchup with an overall record of 11-6 and a conference record of 2-2 after an overtime win against East Carolina on January 11. The Blazers currently lead the American Athletic Conference in fastbreak points (16.53 per game), fouls per game (15), and defensive rebounds per game (28.18). Five players from UAB are averaging double-digit points this season; Chance Westry leads them with an average of just over fifteen points per game.
On the road this season, UAB has posted a record of three wins and two losses overall—winning both of its league away games—and averages just over eighty points scored while allowing eighty-six points per contest.
