San Diego State vs. UAB Analysis
The UAB Blazers willed themselves into the NCAA Tournament after an unlikely Conference USA Championship title.
This game is purely offense against defense. San Diego State thrives on the defensive end, and UAB ranks in the top 60 in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency.
The issue here for UAB will be the defensive glass. Jaedon Ledee grabs a ton of offensive rebounds in general and will take advantage of a team that struggled against defending putbacks.
UAB will need to get to the free-throw line and get the Aztecs in foul trouble, as it has shown it can do.
San Diego State is much more experienced in the postseason, and UAB’s defense will regress against a tougher team — unless it can get to the line often and make shots on the interior.
