I’m here!
Calvin Baker, Sammy Zeglinski, Assane Sene, Will Sherill, Sylven Landesberg – the UVa. starting five.
UAB is coached by former Indiana coach Mike Davis.
Nice intimate gathering here for tonight’s game.
UVa. 7-6, 17:01
Not a lot of activity here on press row. Is everybody at the bowl game? Sorry. I haven’t had a chance to be negative about my main man Al Groh for a while.
UVa. 7-6, 15:45 media timeout
Mike Scott checks in at 15:45 mark

Jamil Tucker just walked by.
UAB 18-12, 9:57, UVA. timeout
Very tentative UVa. offense. Horrible UVa. defense. UAB is 10-17 from the field, and nine of the ten are layups or dunks.
UAB 20-12, 8:55
UAB 24-21, 6:14 media timeout
Nice sequence earlier. Zeglinski missed a short jumper, stole the UAB outlet pass, got the ball back on a nice dish from Baker, nailed a three to cut the lead to three.
UAB 31-23, 3:15
UAB 31-28, 1:58
Jontel Evans steal at midcourt, layup.

Cool! Get me an autograph!

UAB seems to have five guys named Battier. They are masters of the flop.
That Millsap kid is a beast. He will tear up the D League one day.
UAB 42-36, 15:57
I’m down a driver. Scott had to go back out to his car. He left his cell out in the car, and he was afraid it would freeze as cold as it is here. He left at the final buzzer of the first half, and I haven’t seen him since. I hope he hasn’t been eaten by a giant squid.
UAB 42-40, 14:47
Farrakhan 3, 46-43 UAB, 13:36
Ugh. I hope Scott is OK … is Jim Gordon there? Anyone else you recognize? If not, let me know, and I can drive over.
I’m sure he’ll show up!
We’re getting hosed here. Second-half fouls: UVa. 7, UAB 2.
Evans 3, 50-48 UAB
The hosing continues. I say this often, but the foul call on that post play is the worst of all time.
Scott has returned. He wasn’t in fact eaten by a giant squid.
Second-half stats:
UVa. 8-14 FG
UAB 5-10 FG
Evans layup, 50-all
I’m glad that he is alive and well.
Farrakhan 3, UVa. 53-52, 9:18
UVa. 53-52, 8:23
The officials calling this game should be embarrassed. There is less physicality in your average MMA fight. These bums shouldn’t be working YMCA games.
Zeglinski hits 3, fouled. UVa. 56-52, 7:17
Zeglinski FT, 57-52
Landesberg 2 FT, UVa. 59-53, 6:20

Howard Crawford has taken two charges directly under the basket on the last two possessions. He has four fouls.
