Main Story

UAB visits Jacksonville State on Saturday in an in-state matchup, looking to extend its winning streak and remain unbeaten in the series. The Blazers are coming off a 92-point win over Florida A&M; Jacksonville State has dropped two straight. The game tips at 6 p.m. CT and streams on ESPN+.

By the Numbers
  • UAB: 2-1 overall; Jacksonville State: 1-2.
  • UAB leads the all-time series, 6-0; the teams last met in 2015.
  • UAB has won its past 10 true road games.
  • Jacksonville State has made 40 3-pointers in three games; Jordan Stiemke and Chris Lockett Jr. account for 22.
Yes, But

UAB brings momentum and a strong road streak, but Saturday is its first true road game of the season. Jacksonville State has struggled in its past two outings, yet its perimeter shooting—especially from Stiemke and Lockett—could pose a threat.

State of Play
  • UAB is averaging 80 points per game and shooting 37.1% from 3-point range through three games.
  • Jacksonville State is rebuilding with 14 newcomers and no returning minutes or scoring from last season.
  • Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. CT Saturday at Pete Mathews Coliseum in Jacksonville, Alabama.
What's Next

After the road matchup, UAB returns home to face FIU at Bartow Arena on Nov. 17, with tipoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Bottom Line

UAB has the stronger start and the historic edge, but its first road test will show whether the Blazers can sustain their momentum against a Jacksonville State team with dangerous shooters.
