BIRMINGHAM – Sole possession of first place in the American Athletic Conference is on the line as the UAB women's basketball team travels to face North Texas on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Denton.
Both UAB (15-4) and North Texas (16-3) enter the game with a league-best record of 6-1 and the winner of this game will hit the halfway point of conference play sitting alone in first place.
UAB is coming off an 83-81 overtime victory at Wichita State and saw Denim DeShields hit the game-winning basket with 1.3 seconds remaining. DeShields has been unstoppable in AAC play with an averaging of 18.7 ppg in seven conference games so far. She has scored 20+ in three straight contests and continues to lead the league in assists at 5.3.
Mia Moore tallied her AAC-best 10th double-double of the season at Wichita State with 21 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists. Moore is leading the American with an average of 9.9 rebounds per game which ranks her 29th nationally in that category. She also leads the team in scoring at 15.9 ppg and notched her sixth 20+ point performance at Wichita State.
Led by Tracey Bershers who ranks third in the AAC in 3-point field goal percentage, the Blazers shoot the long ball better than anyone in conference at 34.9 percent. Conversely, North Texas has the top-ranked 3-point defense in the league, allowing opponents to make just 25.0 from long range.
Offensively, UNT is led by DesiRay Kernal and Tommisha Lampkin who average 16.4 and 14.7 points per game, respectively. Additionally, Lamkin leads the league in field goal percentage (.675) while Kernal ranks sixth in rebounding at 7.84.
