November 25 at HP Field House in Orlando, FL
ESPN
Zack Bryant had struggled through the first two games of the Advocare Invitational, combining for just 13 points and 25% shooting in UAB's losses to Florida State and Charleston. In Sunday's seventh-place game, Bryant came off the bench and scored 26 points on 9-of-14 shooting, and had seven steals in a 68-58 victory.
UAB got off to a really slow start and trailed by as much as 26-11 in the opening half. Things started to turn around for the Blazers with just under three minutes to play in the half. Bryant led the way during an 8-0 run, converting a transition lay-up and hitting a 3-pointer, then followed that with a steal that led to Jeremiah Bell's bucket, and Bryant's three-point play with a minute left got the Blazers to within 30-29.
UAB took its first lead of the night on Bryant's Jalen Perry-assisted 3-pointer with 18:07 to go in the game and never trailed again.
Bell added 15 points and Perry, 11 for UAB.
Takal Molson led Canisius with 15 points, but second-leading scorer Isaiah Reese wasn't much of a factor, scoring six points and hitting just 3-of-12 from the field.
