Last week, the UAB men's basketball team traveled to Kansas City, Mo. to participate in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic and came back to Birmingham with a 1-1 record and a third place title.

The Blazers fell to Kansas 83-63 in their first game on Monday, Nov. 21, but bounced back against George Washington University on Tuesday, winning 81-74. The win against GWU was the first early season tournament win for the Blazers since defeating Nebraska in 2013.

The first game went as most everyone thought it would.
