Last Time Out
SIU last competed on Sunday, falling 60-52 to Western Kentucky. Alayna Kraus led the team in scoring with 19 points while Indya Green finished with a near double-double of 10 points and nine rebounds. Tkiyah Nelson hit double-digit assists with 10. It was largely Western Kentucky's shooting touch from beyond the arc that sank the Salukis, as the Hilltoppers shot 40.9% from three and 48.0% from the field.
Seeing Double
Despite the loss on Sunday, Kraus continued her double-digit scoring streak to start the season. The Oral Roberts transfer has now scored 10+ points in all six games this season after her 19 point performance Sunday. Kraus, who was named a MVC Preseason Player to Watch, is averaging 16.8 points-per-game, which currently ranks fifth in the MVC. The sophomore is also second in The Valley for free-throw percentage with her mark of 92%.
The Matchup
Southern is winless versus UAB all-time, holding a 0-4 record. The two met up last season in Carbondale when the Blazer won 75-57. 2017 was the last time they competed in Birmingham, with UAB coming out on top 76-66.
UAB enters this matchup with a 3-4 overall record. The Blazer spent last weekend at the Cancun Challenge in Cancun, Mexico. While there, the Blazers picked up a 77-72 win over Southern Miss before falling 82-61 to #8 TCU. Their last home game came on November 12, an 80-56 win over Alabama A&M.
