UAB made a season-high 13 3-pointers at Nicholls and poured in a season-best 31 third quarter points to pull away for the win. The Blazers were a perfect 11-of-11 from the floor in the third quarter, including 5-of-5 from downtown.
Mia Moore led three players in double figures with her fourth double-double of the season and finished the game with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
